Ahead of the Upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, New Falun Dafa Practitioners Express Their Appreciation to Master Li Hongzhi

(Minghui.org) Despite the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa in China, people there are still taking up the practice. At the special occasion of the 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival, new practitioners from all over China are sending their best wishes to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, to thank him for teaching the practice to the world and bringing them hope.

An 88-year-old new practitioner in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, wrote, “Master purified my body. I’m very healthy now and look much younger than my age. I live by myself, and my children don’t need to look after me. They all support me in practicing Dafa.”

A young practitioner in Shanghai said, “I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. There’s no effective medication for it. and it was getting worse. Then I met a Dafa practitioner who urged me to recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Not long after that, I completely recovered. I’ve started to practice Dafa now. Thank you, Master Li!”

A practitioner in Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province, said, “On September 25, 2025, I made up my mind that I had to practice Falun Dafa. I found a practitioner to teach me to the exercises. I was so eager to learn everything. In the following days, I felt my heart was open and very bright. On the special occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I’d like to thank Master Li for awakening me!”

Another practitioner in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, said, “I’m reading Zhuan Falun for the third time. Thank you, Master Li, for teaching me so many principles and showing me new understandings about life and the universe. I want to be a good person [by practicing Falun Dafa].”

Two sisters in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, wrote, “Dafa’s roots are deep in our hearts. We want to follow in the footsteps of the veteran practitioners and help people know the facts about Dafa. We will try our best to cultivate ourselves and not let Master down.”
