Greetings from Young Practitioners in China

(Minghui.org) Among the numerous Chinese New Year greetings Minghui.org recently received, there are a number from young practitioners. Many of these young people were born around the time Falun Dafa was introduced to the public in 1992, and they realize that they came to this world for a reason. They strive to align themselves with Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be good people. 

In a chaotic society when morals continue to decline, these practitioners feel they have the responsibility of setting a good example by cultivating diligently and telling people about Falun Dafa and the persecution. They are very grateful for these opportunities and wish Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, a happy Chinese New Year. 

A young practitioner in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, who began practicing Falun Dafa two years ago, wrote, “I was born the year after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa in 1999. I pursued material things and was almost lost; fortunately I found Dafa. I know Master has taken care of me all these years, and I will constantly improve myself and look within to do better.”

One young practitioner from Nongan County in Jilin Province started practicing Falun Dafa 29 years ago when she was a child. “I am very fortunate to practice Falun Dafa. I realize Master’s arrangements are the best,” she wrote. “I work with my husband (who also practices Falun Dafa). I will let go of degenerated, modern thoughts, rectify myself, and help others.”

Young practitioners in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, said the world is filled with many distractions and temptations—so it’s easy to get lost. “By reading Falun Dafa’s teachings, we awakened and understand our path,” they wrote in their greeting. “Instead of confusion or drifting with others in society, we realize the importance of remaining diligent in cultivation practice and assisting Master in saving people, because this is our mission.” 

A practitioner from Linyi City, Shandong Province wrote, “I started to practice Falun Dafa with my parents when I was a child. I did not cherish the opportunity to cultivate and I gradually stopped practicing. Last year I realized Falun Dafa is righteous and only by following Dafa’s principles can I become a good person, a better person, and go beyond this earthly world. I am so happy to resume practicing, and thank you, Master Li, for not abandoning me!”

A young practitioner from Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province wrote, “I made up my mind that in the New Year I will make studying Falun Dafa’s teachings and sending forth righteous thoughts a priority; I will also eliminate my attachments to lust and comfort. This will help me do the three things well and I will catch up to the progress of Fa-rectification.”

“When I was a child, I witnessed how practicing Falun Dafa improved my grandparents’ health. Despite the CCP’s persecution they remain determined in their belief despite the pressure,” wrote a practitioner from Xinjiang. “I also learned to be a good person by following Dafa’s teachings. I often work with my grandparents to tell more people about Dafa and refute the CCP’s defamatory propaganda.”

A young practitioner from Zhucheng City, Shandong Province wrote that she learned the practice from her mother when she was a child. “Even in the darkest days of the suppression, even when my mother was arrested and detained numerous times for her belief, I did not back off or waver—because I know what Falun Dafa is and I know that this is what our society needs,” she wrote. “I feel fortunate to practice Falun Dafa. I cherish the honor of being a Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciple. I will do better in assimilating myself to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and help save people.”

“I was weak and often sick when I was a child. My parents took to me many hospitals including some renowned ones in Beijing, but doctors could not find out why I was sick,” a practitioner from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province wrote. “It was at that time that I came to know to Falun Dafa. I began to practice and I became healthy. There are no words to express my gratitude. I hope more people can know Dafa and benefit like I did.”

“My younger sister and I both began to practice Dafa following our parents when we were small children. Now we are adults,” wrote a man in Qingdao City, Shandong Province. “In this society filled with chaos and temptations, we are determined to be good people and diligent Dafa practitioners—like pure lotus flowers rising from the mud. Thank you, Master Li, and happy New Year!”

The following poem was received from young practitioners in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province:

Life after life we have come a long way, we tried and tried but things still went astray;Suffering in pain we looked to the sky, hoping the divine would hear our helpless cry. 

Until one day we hear Dafa has come for me and thee, awakening our minds to become practitioners with no delay;Dafa teachings purified our bodies and cleared our minds in a the gentle way,bestowing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in our hearts to forever stay.

In the massive persecution many people were misled with their conscience betrayed, siding with the vicious brings them uncertainty because of the moral decay;Telling them facts and refuting what the CCP’s lies say, we practitioners help people on a path for a better future and bright way.
