(Minghui.org) Thirty-two years after Master Li Hongzhi introduced Falun Dafa to the world, many of the middle-aged practitioners entered their senior years. Thanks to Falun Dafa’s health benefits, they stay young and energetic compared to their counterparts. On the special occasion of Dafa’s 32nd public introduction and Master Li’s 73rd birthday, many elderly practitioners express their deep gratitude to Master and wish Master a Happy Birthday.

Although in their 80s and 90s, many of these practitioners said they are enjoying better health than in their younger years. Some still live on their own and take good care of themselves. Some persisted in going out regularly to talk to people about the persecution. 

A greeting painted by an 87-year-old practitioner in Jianping County, Liaoning Province.

A practitioner in Fushun City, Liaoning Province, wrote, “I took up Falun Dafa when I was 65. Now I’m 86. I have enjoyed good health in the past 21 years and I’m grateful to Master for the blessing.”

A practitioner in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, said, “I’m 80 years old. I began to practice Dafa in 1997. I live on the sixth floor and our apartment building doesn’t have an elevator. I can still climb up the stairs with ease and don’t feel tired.”

A 94-year-old practitioner in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, said that she began to practice Dafa in November 1994 after attending Master’s lecture series in Dalian City. A major illness of her disappeared shortly after. In the 29-plus years, she has saved hundreds of thousands of yuan in her medical costs. 

A practitioner, 86 of Zhucheng City, Shandong Province, recalled that he had many ailments, including a heart condition, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar. All of his condition disappeared after taking up Falun Dafa. 

A group of practitioners in their 80s and 90s said, “Thanks to Dafa’s blessing, we live on our own and don’t rely on our children to take care of us. Instead, we still help them with light household chores and cook for them.”
