https://greetings.minghui.org/mh/article_images/2023-9-28-australia-greetings-2-07.jpg90-year-old Bernie Lam wishes Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Bernie Lam, 90, a retired civil engineer who lives in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, Australia, has practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years. He said, “Two practitioners from Malaysia introduced Falun Dafa to me. I found the practice is very good because I can feel the energy when I do the exercises. I used to do Tai Chi, but it did not have this energy flow. After I did the Falun Dafa exercises, I stopped practicing Tai Chi and only focused on practicing Falun Dafa.
Bernie said, “I do the exercises and read the books every day. I feel calmer and more in control of myself. I always think and behave according to Master’s teachings.
“I do not know how many times I’ve read Zhuan Falun(Falun Dafa's main book). I feel very good because every time I read it, it relates to what I am doing. It wakes me up and I try to do things correctly.
“My health has been very good since I started practicing Falun Dafa. I do not need to see the doctor. I am 90 years old now. My wife passed away 18 months ago, so I live alone and I can take care of myself.
“In his recent teaching, Master explains the origins of mankind and the universe. We humans need to return to our original, true selves. That is why Master introduced the Fa--to let people know this.
“I wish Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and I wish Master all the best. I will continue to cultivate diligently.”
Mark Sell from Queensland works in the aviation electronics equipment maintenance industry. Recalling how he heard about Falun Dafa, he said that he liked to visit different websites to learn what was happening in the world. In 2019, he saw a video that showed the peaceful meditation practiced by 500 Taiwan Falun Dafa practitioners. It touched him, and he went to the Falun Dafa website. He started to read Falun Dafa books online and learned the five exercises.
By practicing Falun Dafa, Mark said he learned how to look within and understood he should let go of attachments and improve himself. When there were conflicts, he looked within to find his attachments, wrote them down, and tried to get rid of them.
He said he’s happy every day and is now positive and optimistic. He said that Falun Dafa changed him fundamentally and taught him how to be considerate of others and be grateful to those around him. He lives by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and can keep calm during conflicts.
Because Mark benefited so much from Falun Dafa, he wants to tell everyone about it. He hopes the persecution ends soon. He spends a lot of time clarifying the truth to people. He said that he will continue to look within and do better in Dafa projects and let more people know how wonderful Falun Dafa is.
On the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival, he expressed his sincere thanks to Master for introducing Falun Dafa and making his life more meaningful. He feels lucky to have found Falun Dafa and begun practicing in the Fa-rectification period. He wishes Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Minh Tuan Pham said his mother told him about Falun Dafa and he started to practice in 2021. He said that it was the greatest turning point of his life. Before that, he pursued material things. He used to have many plans to become successful and he enjoyed himself. He said that after he began practicing Falun Dafa, he found the true meaning of life and his position in society.
He goes to the local practice site in the park to practice the Falun Dafa exercises with other practitioners. He also participates in community activities to introduce Falun Dafa to people so they will know the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
On the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival, he wanted to express his respect for and gratitude to Master. He said that the pure light of Falun Dafa illuminates the path of his life.

Thao Le and Mai Anh Nguyen are two Vietnamese practitioners in Sydney. Thao obtained the Fa one year ago and Mai Anh started to practice Falun Dafa six months ago. They became good friends when they attended university and set up a financial planning company together in Sydney after they graduated.
They had been searching for a righteous cultivation way before they found Falun Dafa. Thao said, “I've always been curious about the universe and wanted to understand who I am and what is the meaning of life. I tried many practices before.”
Thao started her business in 2022 and worked for another company at the same time. She was very stressed because she dealt with many problems simultaneously. She became depressed and started feeling sorry for herself.
She said, “I heard about Falun Dafa five years ago because my brother and sister began practicing, so I kept observing them. I noticed that they were very happy and calm. Their two babies are very healthy. When I decided to read Zhuan Falun, I was shocked because what I read answered questions I had about life. I searched for years, but in Zhuan Falun, everything was said so clearly. I decided to practice it.”
Mai Anh used to practice Buddhism. When she saw her friend Thao reading Zhuan Falun, she also started to read it and to practice Falun Dafa.
She used to listen to Buddhist teachings, but when things didn’t go the way she expected, she still got angry and even lost her temper. “But after only six months of practicing Falun Dafa, I felt Master’s words went straight to my heart,” she said. “I have learned to look within. Master helped me get rid of the root of my attachment, and I no longer have a reason to be angry.”
Mai Anh also had another problem that had tormented her for over five years. Thanks to Master’s help and her own cultivation, she was finally freed from the suffering. She is very grateful to Master.
After practicing Falun Dafa, Thao realized that she had intense jealousy but she learned how to look within.
On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Thao and Mai Anh would like to sincerely thank Master for His saving grace and compassion and wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
They hope to help more people learn the truth about Falun Dafa, so they too will decide to practice Falun Dafa.
