(Minghui.org) There an old Chinese saying, “Once a teacher, always to be respected as a father.” (一日為師,終身為父) Such a saying holds true for a group of people who follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. These principles are the foundation of the practice of Falun Dafa, which was introduced by Master Li Hongzhi in China in 1992.

To celebrate the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival, many young Falun Dafa practitioners expressed their sincere and heartfelt gratitude for Master Li’s compassionate salvation and for guiding their lives. Many of them yearn to reunite with Master and to follow him home.

A young Falun Dafa practitioner from Hengshui City, Hebei Province, wrote, “I am forever grateful to Master for the compassionate arrangement that allowed me to encounter Falun Dafa and embark on my cultivation path.

“I participated in a summer Fa study group and even took the initiative to practice the exercises. Since preschool, I have been unable to sit in the lotus position. While studying the Fa with a family member this year, I saw how effortlessly she sat in the lotus position. I wanted to give it a try, too. To my surprise, I was able to do it. I progressed from sitting for 17 minutes to 33 minutes, and, on my third attempt, I was able to sit for more than 60 minutes.

“I am deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation. I will study the Fa more diligently and strive to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I long for the day when Master can return to China and Shen Yun can perform here.”
