(Minghui.org) For the 2025 Chinese New Year, Falun Dafa practitioners in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China submitted their greetings to Minghui.org to thank Master Li, the founder of the practice, and wish him a happy New Year.

One greeting was sent by practitioners from several practice sites in Beijing. They wrote: “We used to gather together and read Falun Dafa’s teachings to become better people, but the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecution separated us and we now read in small groups. Regardless of the situation, our hearts are together because we know what Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance means to us.”

A practitioner from Qinghe County in Hebei Province said that local practitioners are very grateful for the opportunity to practice Falun Dafa. “We used to be selfish and lost in this mundane world. It’s hard to imagine what life would be like without Falun Dafa,” he wrote. “I can feel Master Li’s compassionate protection over these 26 years. My gratitude is beyond words. and I will cultivate diligently.”

A family of three generations in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, submitted the following greeting: “Falun Dafa taught us to cherish what we have and to take hardship as joy. We tell people the facts about Dafa, and clarify the truth about the CCP’s defamatory propaganda. Thank you, Master, for these opportunities to improve ourselves and help others.”

Practitioners from Liaoning Province said they started to practice before the CCP began the persecution in 1999, and they were initially confused in the face of it. They wrote: “But after thinking it over, we realized the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are of the utmost importance; no pressure could make us relinquish them, because they are what society needs. Over the years, we have reminded and supported each other. The CCP does not tolerate traditional values and it targets Falun Dafa at all costs. Master Li not only takes care of us during our cultivation but also guides us to tell people the facts so we can help him save them. We will remain clear-headed on the remaining path of cultivation and fulfill our mission.”

A family from Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, wrote: “Falun Dafa taught us to be considerate of others and have compassion for everyone. We will cooperate well with other practitioners and take care of and encourage young practitioners. We know this is all part of our cultivation journey.”

Practitioners from Heilongjiang Province said they have become increasingly clear about Falun Dafa and cultivation over the years. “We are more convinced Falun Dafa is righteous and Master Li is great,” they wrote. “Following Falun Dafa’s teachings, we are able to look within, identify where we need to improve, and catch up. Regardless of the situation or which strata of society we are in, we always strive to do better, improve ourselves, and help others know the facts so that they can be saved.”

In their greeting, practitioners from Yantai City, Shandong Province wrote: “At this critical moment in history, everyone is given an opportunity to make choices. We are so fortunate to be Falun Dafa practitioners on the path of returning to our original selves. Master has sacrificed tremendously to save us and all sentient beings. We know who we are and we are clear on our mission to improve ourselves as well as to help save others. We will be steadfast despite pressure and interference. Thank you, Master, and happy Chinese New Year!”

Practitioners in Anqing City, Anhui Province, wrote a poem:

At the Chinese New Year we are missing Master Li,who introduced Falun Dafa, benefiting the entire world,Cherishing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in this mundane world,we found hope and are walking on the path of returning to our origins.Doing the exercises and following the teachings to improve body and mind,we are fortunate to practice Dafa despite twists and turns.Striving to help save people with righteous thoughts that shine like gold,we will return with Master on the path toward the divine.
