(Minghui.org) A large number of greetings were received from young practitioners in China, including college students, to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. Coming from all over China, they cherish the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and wish a Happy Birthday to Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa.

One young practitioner in Huludao City, Liaoning Province, said he was fortunate to be a Falun Dafa practitioner. “The complicated environment can be a good cultivation opportunity to improve my xinxing and every step is a testimony to my elevation through following the teachings of Falun Dafa,” he wrote. “On the cultivation journey toward the divine, we must stay determined, remain undisturbed by the external environment, and continue to be diligent.”

Greetings were received from practitioners at the University of Science and Technology in China. “We are very grateful for Master Li’s compassionate salvation. We would like to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day and sincerely wish Master Li a Happy Birthday,” wrote the greetings.

One practitioner in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, said she had practiced Falun Dafa for many years, from a child to a young adult. “In particular, I am very thankful because Master Li saved me from a potentially fatal accident. I will do better in my cultivation by aligning myself with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” she wrote.

A practitioner in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province said she began to practice Falun Dafa following her mother when she was 9. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute the group in 1999, this practitioner and mother distributed materials to people about what Dafa is while refuting defamatory propaganda from the CCP. “Our world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and that is why I stay firm in my belief no matter how brutal the suppression is,” she wrote in the greetings. “Words cannot express how wonder Dafa is and how many positive changes it has brought to our society. Thank you Master Li and Happy Birthday!”
