(Minghui.org) With the arrival of the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on September 17, Falun Dafa practitioners in Quebec gathered to celebrate the occasion on September 7. They expressed their gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder and teacher of Falun Dafa.
Practitioners in Quebec, Canada wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Hoping That Practitioners in China Be Reunited with Their Families Soon
Karina is a practitioner from Quebec City who came to the event. She has been practicing Falun Dafa for 20 years, and said that she has benefited greatly from the teachings of the cultivation.
“Falun Dafa has given me a sense of purpose and direction in life, given that I have been questioning the meaning of life and the universe since I was very young,” she said. “I’d like to thank Master for everything he’s done for us practitioners. Thank you, Master!”
Karina from Quebec wishes Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Chinese regard the full moon during Mid-Autumn as a symbol of family reunion. Karina, who lives quite far away in Canada, thinks of her fellow practitioners in China who are still being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She hopes that the persecution against her fellow practitioners by the CCP will end soon.
“During the Mid-Autumn Festival one celebrates family. I hope that Chinese practitioners who are imprisoned and homeless in China will soon be reunited with their families,” said Karina.
Now I’m Happy
Marie-Hélène, another practitioner from Quebec, has been cultivating Falun Dafa for over two decades. She told her story of how Falun Dafa greatly improved her mental state.
“In the past, I was very unhappy and depressed. There were a lot of thoughts moving through my mind, and I really wanted them to stop. I was desperate to find a way to achieve inner peace. I experimented with a number of cultivation practices, including tai-chi and yoga,” she said.
She also shared the benefits she obtained from her years of cultivation practice.“Right from the beginning of cultivating. I got results. It only took a few weeks. My mind calmed down, my muscles became relaxed, and inner peace set in. It has been so for 20 years.”
Marie-Hélène would like to thank Master Li on this special holiday. “Now I’m happy and I know the reason for my existence,” she said. “It gives me a plan for what I can do daily. Thank you, Master!” she said.
Background
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. Its teachings are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Millions of people who have embraced Falun Dafa’s teachings and exercises have experienced improved health and well-being.
The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun has been translated into more than 40 languages. Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa have received over 5,800 proclamations, awards, resolutions and letters of support from governments. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is cherished by people all around the world, but this belief is severely persecuted in China.
