(Minghui.org) On September 15, 2024, practitioners in Las Vegas held a group practice and other activities at a popular tourist attraction, Desert Breeze Park, to spread the beauty of Falun Dafa to the public, and to wish Master Li Hongzhi a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. They talked about the positive physical and mental changes they experienced after they began practicing and expressed their infinite gratitude to Master.

Practitioners did the exercises at Desert Breeze Park near Las Vegas and expressed their gratitude to Master during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I Found the Book I’ve Been Looking for All My Life

Kim from Yanji, Jilin Province, is grateful to Master for his compassion.

Kim is Korean but lived in from Yanji, Jilin Province. Acoworker told him about Falun Dafa in 2006, “The first time I finished reading Zhuan Falun my tears of excitement flowed, and I immediately understood that this book was what I had been looking for all my life! I kept saying, Thank you, Master! Thank You, Master! After two or three months of practice, my myocarditis, stomach prolapse, hemorrhoids, and arthritis were gone, and I don’t need to take any more medicine.”

He has been clarifying the truth in scenic spots all year, and said, “After the police understood the truth, they were moved by our peace and persistence, and some police officers saluted us when they saw us.

“I am deeply grateful to Master for his blessing and protection every day. I will work harder to save more sentient beings and spread the beauty of Dafa. Thank you for your grace Master, and I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”

Practicing Falun Dafa Benefits One Both Physically and Mentally

Ms. Teng from China said, “Master, you have worked hard! I have no words to express my gratitude for your compassion and salvation. I can only continue to practice diligently, to be persistent, do the three things well, save more people, and go home with Master. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Master!”

Ms. Teng, who is in her seventies, feels fortunate to begin practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. She said, “I was in very poor health back then, suffering from kidney disease, anemia, arthritis, etc. Kidney disease, in particular, was very severe. My entire body was swollen, and it was very difficult and painful.”

When she went to a practice site, a practitioner handed her a copy of Zhuan Falun. She read two paragraphs. When she returned home, she urinated normally the next morning, and she was very excited knowing that her illness was resolved. 

Before practicing, she took bags of Chinese medicine and also took injections. Asking for leave from work was a common thing, and her coworkers knew she couldn’t do any heavy labor. Ms. Teng recalled, “After practicing, my health improved, and I rushed to do dirty work and heavy work. My coworker asked, can you lift something so heavy? I said it’s okay, I’m fine. The chairman of the trade union was surprised—why can Ms. Teng do the heavy labor now? When they saw the changes in me, several coworkers said they also wanted to practice Falun Dafa.”

After Ms. Teng began practicing, she learned that cultivation is to return to one’s true self, and the improving ones character is the most important thing. She said, “After I began practicing I always demand of myself with the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, let go of my personal interests, and try to always be a good person.”

After she moved to the U.S., Ms. Teng began clarifying the truth at tourist spots. “I hope that visitors from all over the world know that Falun Dafa teaches us to be good people according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance; I also hope that more Chinese people will know that the Tiananmen self-immolation is a lie spread by the Chinese Communist Party against Falun Dafa, and that only by quitting the Party can they save their lives and be safe; I hope that the persecution ends soon.”

New Practitioner Thanks Master

Megan a Vietnamese dance teacher, also participated in the group practice that day. Her best friend, Cristina, practices Falun Dafa.

Megan said, “Christina is very honest and trustworthy. My sister and cousin live in California, but I decided to move to Las Vegas, where Christina lives. I used to have headaches. Christina works two jobs and takes care of two children, but is always full of energy. I haven’t seen her take medicine for years. I became interested in Falun Dafa and wanted to practice. Three weeks ago, I started studying the Fa and learning the exercises with Christina. Now when I have any troubles and can’t sleep, after listening to Master’s teachings, I sleep very well.”

Megan and Christina now work together, and on the way from work, they often share with each other on how to face things at work with the mentality of a cultivator.

She said, “Christina often encourages me that it is difficult to be a good person, and there will be a lot of resistance and conflicts from coworkers, but we are cultivators, so we don’t have to worry. We are not perfect, we still have a lot of attachments, and our state is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but if we persist and demand of ourselves according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, everything will get better. Thanks to her for always helping me. I’m trying to do just that.”

Megan said, “I very much hope to learn the Fa and practice with everyone. I am grateful to Master for giving me the opportunity to learn Falun Dafa, and I wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! ”
