(Minghui.org) May 13, 2025, marked the 33rd anniversary of Falun Dafa’s introduction to the public as well as the 26th World Falun Dafa Day and the birthday of Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa.

Many Falun Dafa practitioners sent in their greetings to Minghui.org to celebrate the special occasion. This report presents stories shared in some of the greetings.

Family of Five in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province

My mother took up Falun Gong before 1999 and soon recovered from her rheumatoid arthritis. She was able to take care of herself again. I started to practice with her while I was still a child. My husband became a Falun Gong practitioner five years ago when no medical treatment helped his heart disease. He is now as healthy as can be. Our two children also practice Falun Gong. During the pandemic, none of us got infected.

Elderly Couple in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

My husband and I are not Falun Gong practitioners, but we have both benefited from supporting the practice. I became critically ill in 2015 and a Falun Gong practitioner advised me to recite the aupicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She also urged me to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its youth organizations. I heeded her advice and soon recovered.

My husband got infected with the COVID-19 virus in March 2024 and developed white lung. My whole family recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in front of him. He also agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its youth organizations. He made a full recovery.

My brother and his wife both fell ill in the summer of 2022. We visited them in the hospital and I urged them to follow the advice given to me when I was ill in 2015. They agreed and got better.

A Young Mother in Bin County, Heilongjiang Province

I had given up Falun Gong, but fellow practitioners helped me start again. I soon regained my health and repaired my broken marriage. My two girls were elated to have a complete family again. They also practiced with me. No matter how busy they got with school work, they always remembered to do the Falun Gong exercises before bed. They also studied the teachings with me on the weekends.

Three Sisters and Their Mother in Benxi City, Liaoning Province

My mother is 100 years old. She took up Falun Gong in 1998 and soon recovered from her many ailments, including heart conditions, insomnia, intestinal issues, and kidney disease.

My eldest sister had severe heart disease, high blood pressure, migraines, and gynecological issues before she started practicing Falun Gong. My third sister suffered from heart disease and the aftereffects of a car accident. I myself was plagued by severe rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain all over my body. All three of us made full recoveries after we started practicing Falun Gong.
