Thank You, Master: Practicing Falun Dafa Benefits the Entire Family

Mr. Guo talks to people about Falun Dafa.

Mr. Guo said that he and his entire family have benefited a lot since he began to practice Falun Dafa 21 years ago in 2004. All his ailments were gone after he began to practice, and his family life and career are great. He hopes to share the beauty of Falun Dafa and the universal values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance with people. He hopes that more people will come to know the beauty and the facts about Falun Dafa so they can also benefit from Dafa.

Mr. Guo’s youngest daughter said that she began to practice Falun Dafa as a child, with encouragement from her father. She thanked Master for introducing Falun Dafa to the world so that she could have the good fortune to practice and grow up influenced by the universal values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She said these guiding principles remind her to maintain her original thoughts and to return to her true self. She added that she would hurry up to help save people and help more people know about Falun Dafa and understand that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.

Falun Dafa Renewed My Life

Mr. He thanks Master for his compassionate salvation.

Mr. He said, “I have practiced Falun Dafa for nearly ten years. Ten years ago, I was an office worker overwhelmed by various social pressures and almost fell into depression. I lost the direction of my life and didn’t know what to do.”

Now he reads Falun Dafa books and practices the exercises every day and disciplines himself according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He says Falun Dafa’s teachings uplifted him and he feels peaceful and serene. His family says he looks like a completely new person compared to ten years ago. His body also became free of many problems. For example, he no longer needs to wear glasses, which he had to wear for more than 20 years. One of his legs was injured when he played sports and it was difficult to go up stairs. His leg is now fine. Now he can climb mountains of over 4,000 meters. He used to take at least one day off due to sickness every two months. 

Mr. He said, “I thank Master for his compassionate salvation. My gratitude to Master is beyond description. Thank you, Master! Master, you have worked hard. I respectfully wish revered Master a happy birthday!”

Looking Within Is a Magical Tool

Ms. He and her children thank Master for his compassionate salvation.

Ms. He said, “Master tells us to consider others first no matter what we do, to be altruistic, and that we must look within. Whether in my life or my family environment, when I discipline myself with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the tribulations or challenges I meet with can be easily solved. I feel this is what I gain most from the principles Master teaches us.”

Falun Dafa Makes Me a Better Person

Ms. Zhu and her son thank Master for his compassionate salvation.

Ms. Zhu said, “I had no consideration for others before I practiced Falun Dafa and I was very self-centered. If others did better than me, I was very jealous. I had many other bad behaviors too. If it weren’t for Master’s compassionate salvation, I would still be lost in this turbid world.”

Thankful for Everything Falun Dafa Brought Us

Ms. Chen does the fifth exercise – the meditation.

Ms. Chen said, “My health improved dramatically after I began to practice Falun Dafa. All my diseases were gone—even one that I was told required surgery. I understood after I began to practice that I need to cultivate myself and become better. My temper and my character improved. I thank Falun Dafa for bringing me everything that is beautiful. I thank Master. I wish Master a happy birthday!”

Ms. Huang and Mr. Luo 

Mr. Luo wanted to tell Master, “I respectfully wish compassionate and magnificent Master a happy birthday! Master’s grace is infinite and I cannot repay him. Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

Ms. Huang said, “I wish revered Master a happy birthday. I’m over 50 years old. I must cherish the opportunity to cultivate and upgrade my character.”

Jocelyn thanked Master for his compassionate salvation.

Jocelyn also thanked Master for his compassion and salvation. She said, “I respectfully wish revered Master a happy birthday! I sincerely kowtow to thank Master.”
