(Minghui.org) Thirty-three years ago on May 13, Master Li Hongzhi introduced Falun Dafa, an ancient mind-body practice, to the public in his hometown, Changchun City, Jilin Province. Since then, countless practitioners took up the practice and live a spiritual life following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

To commemorate this special day, Falun Dafa practitioners have been celebrating May 13 as World Falun Dafa Day since 2000, as their way to express their gratitude for the benefits they’ve received from the practice.

With May 13 this year just around the corner, many Falun Dafa practitioners who work in China’s military, as well as government agencies, including law enforcement, procuratorates, courts, and justice bureaus, sent in warm greetings and congratulated Dafa’s 33rd anniversary of its public introduction.

A Chinese judge wrote, “In my 30 years of being tempered in Dafa cultivation, every step of my improvement and elevation is indispensable of Master’s compassion and care. No words can express my boundless gratitude to Master. I can only cultivate myself more diligently, study the Fa well, save more people and be a qualified Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple.”
