(Minghui.org) On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 29, 2023), Falun Dafa practitioners who have just started to practice joined veteran practitioners in sending in their heartfelt greetings to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa.

These new practitioners included four people from three generations in a family in Mengyin County, Shandong Province, as well as a grandmother and her grandson in Hunan Province. They came from all walks of life, including those who work in the education system and a musician. They thanked Master Li for introducing Dafa to the world and helping them understand the true meaning of life. They cherish this unprecedented opportunity to practice Dafa and vow to diligently cultivate themselves.

A practitioner in Guang’an City, Sichuan Province, wrote, “I wish Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I just took up Dafa not long ago. After searching for so many years, I finally found it! I’m so fortunate to come across Dafa!”

Another practitioner in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, wrote, “For the past few years, I’ve been thinking about the purpose of life. I read many spiritual books and visited temples but still couldn’t find the answer. Thanks to Master’s arrangement, I was connected to a Dafa practitioner. Dafa answered all my questions. I understand why we are here and have since embarked on my cultivation journey to return to my original, true self. I know Dafa isn’t easy to come by. I will cherish this precious opportunity to practice Dafa and cultivate myself well.”

A practitioner in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, said, “I began to practice Falun Dafa not long ago. I’m in my 70s. During the pandemic, I caught both the COVID-19 virus and the flu. I struggled to recover and couldn’t even keep my balance to walk. Persuaded by my wife, I took up Dafa and soon recovered. Days ago, I was hit by a car. I recited the auspicious words ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.’ Protected by Master, I only had minor injuries. Every time I study the Fa teachings, I can feel I have gained new understandings. Dafa is great! Thank you, Master!”

Another elderly practitioner said, “For all these years, I have witnessed how my family members have persevered in practicing Dafa despite the persecution. No matter how difficult or how dangerous the situation, they never budged. Their unwavering faith touched me. Inspired by them, I also began to read Dafa books. I know I still have a lot to catch up on, but I’m determined to do well and not let Master down.”
