(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners and conscientious people from around the world celebrated World Falun Dafa Day on May 13 this year. To commemorate this special day, the Minghui website has published a series of reports and greetings from China and other countries throughout the world.
Indians who have read these reports celebrating the 32nd anniversary of the public introduction of Falun Dafa expressed their heartfelt wishes and appreciation, saying the coverage has been “encouraging,” “uplifting,” and offers a “sense of hope” in this era of moral decline.
Practitioner’s Relative: Recognition of the Positive Impact of Falun Dafa
Sanjana Wadadekar, 25, an Indian residing in Wales, said that Minghui’s coverage of World Falun Dafa Day conveys a moral message for the world, especially for the Chinese regime.
Sanjana’s mother practices Falun Dafa, and she has personally witnessed her mother’s inspiring transition from sickness to health. These experiences have “deepened” her own faith in Falun Dafa, she says.
“Observing my mother’s spiritual journey up close, I have witnessed firsthand the miraculous transformations it has brought into her life. Her enhanced well-being, inner peace, and renewed sense of purpose are a testament to the profound impact of Falun Dafa. Seeing such positive changes has reinforced my belief in the principles of ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,’ and their power to bring about meaningful, positive change in our lives,” Sanjana said.
“I am profoundly grateful to Master Li Hongzhi [the founder of Falun Dafa] for introducing Falun Dafa to the world,” she said.
She said that the Minghui reports highlight the “encouraging developments” regarding the international support that Falun Dafa has received from various governments, which in turn shows “a collective acknowledgment of the benefits of spiritual and moral cultivation in society.”
“This global endorsement can inspire more people to explore and embrace the teachings of Falun Dafa, and also potentially leading to widespread personal and societal transformation,” she said.
Sanjana believes that Minghui’s coverage signifies a “recognition of the positive impact” of Falun Dafa’s moral principles on individuals and communities. Such worldwide support, she said, is “crucial in countering the Chinese government’s suppression and torture of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) practitioners.”

Referring to the Minghui reports on several dignitaries who expressed their support for Falun Dafa by raising flags in its honor, Sanjana said these events bring out the “contrast” between the Chinese regime’s ongoing suppression of Falun Gong since 1999, and the support shown by many countries.
“The Chinese government’s actions, such as tearing down [Falun Dafa] banners and posters, reflect a continued effort to stifle freedom of belief and suppress the positive message of Falun Dafa. When countries publicly honor and acknowledge Falun Dafa, it sends a powerful message against [the CCP’s] human rights abuses,” she said.
“Such support raises global awareness, puts pressure on the Chinese government to change its policies, and provides moral and political backing to those suffering persecution. Additionally, international recognition of Falun Dafa’s positive values—Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance—encourages a broader global movement towards human rights and spiritual freedom, making it harder for oppressive regimes to act without accountability.”
New Practitioner: A Platform That “Fosters a Sense of Hope”
Mitali Borkar, 34, from Maharashtra, appreciated the Minghui report titled “New York State Senators Issue Proclamations Recognizing World Falun Dafa Day (Part 1).”
She said that reading reports highlighting dignitaries coming forward to honor Falun Dafa “fosters a sense of hope” and also validates the efforts put in by Falun Dafa practitioners from all over the world to uphold morality and stop the persecution happening in China.
“It emphasizes the importance of global awareness and solidarity in combating human rights abuses and promoting freedom of belief,” Mitali said.

Mitali, who has very recently started reading Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa, says Falun Dafa’s moral values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are “timeless and universally applicable.”
“They are fundamental to creating a just, peaceful, and compassionate society, which makes them incredibly important in today’s complex and divided world. These basic principles encourage individuals to act ethically, help foster positive relationships, and contribute to the overall well-being of society,” she said.
Retired Banker: Minghui Reports Are a “Gesture of Gratitude”
Viswanathan, 64, from the city of Bengaluru, has been practicing Falun Dafa since 2010.
He said his heart is “overwhelmed with joy” seeing a huge number of greetings and reports published on the Minghui website on the occasion of 25th World Falun Dafa Day. He called these greetings a “gesture of gratitude towards Master Li Hongzhi for his compassion in doing everything he has done for the Falun Dafa practitioners and humanity as a whole.”
Vishwanathan came across the article titled “Canada: Chinese Inspired to Quit the CCP During World Falun Dafa Day Celebrations in Toronto (Part 3).” He said it’s encouraging to see Chinese people are able to learn the facts during overseas events and are eager to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, he said, there are countless more, including the world’s people, who are still unaware of what is unfolding in China.
“In many instances, Falun Dafa practitioners are beaten so brutally while being detained in Chinese prisons that they are rendered invalid for life. [The CCP’s state-sanctioned]force organ harvesting [from living Falun Dafa practitioners] documented in many cases is [so cruel that it is] beyond description, and really heart wrenching. When one really understands the nature of the CCP, quitting the Party is a natural response. One can only feel remorse for being associated with such a government,” he said.
He felt “elated” to read the reports about proclamations and honors bestowed upon Falun Dafa by governments across the world in the face of 25-year-long persecution happening in China.
“I appreciate the heart behind it. Any small gesture goes a long way in a situation like this,” he said.
