(Minghui.org) This year marks the 31-year anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction. Over the past three decades, this ancient spiritual discipline has spread far and wide across the world. In China, despite the ongoing persecution by the Communist regime, Falun Dafa practitioners continue to uphold their faith.

On the special occasion of the 2023 Chinese New Year, these practitioners send their heartfelt good wishes to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, and wish him a Happy New Year. They vow to cultivate themselves better and to help more people know how wonderful Falun Dafa is.

Presented below are greetings received from practitioners who live in the countryside.

Some Falun Dafa practitioners in Xinji City, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province said, “Master, thank you for imparting the Great Dafa to us and giving sentient beings an opportunity to regain a new life, and leading sentient beings to a better future. As the Chinese New Year draws near, we wish you a happy New Year! We are grateful for your protection, and for the many things you have endured for us for the past 30 years. Words cannot express our gratitude enough. We will strive to do the three things to repay Master’s grace!”

Falun Dafa practitioners and their families in the rural Areas of Xinji City, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province said, “Master, thank you for your arrangements for us that have also benefited our family members. We have experienced physical and mental changes and got rid of life-threatening illnesses after practicing Falun Dafa. Some of our families became harmonious too. It is difficult to express our gratitude with human words. We will tell our relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues that reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ is the best way to get past the pandemic.”

Falun Dafa practitioners in a rural area of Ningjin City, Hebei Province wrote, “All Dafa practitioners in our village are the happiest because we have the greatest and most compassionate Master, and no human words can thank our esteemed Master for His boundless grace. The only way for us to repay Master is to give up all attachments, to purify ourselves with Dafa, cultivate ourselves in the last moment of the Fa-rectification, save more people, and return to our true homes.”
