(Minghui.org) As the 2026 Chinese New Year approaches, practitioners in Singapore gathered at Merlion Park on January 18, 2026, to wish Falun Dafa’s founder Master Li a happy Lunar New Year. They exclaimed in unison: “Falun Dafa practitioners in Singapore wish Master a Happy Lunar New Year! Falun Dafa is great, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!”

Practitioners in Merlion Park on January 18 wish Master Li a happy Lunar New Year.

They shared the same sentiment: Every step, every moment on one’s cultivation path is not without Master’s protection. While bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, practitioners shared their cultivation stories to thank Master for giving them a new lease on life.

Practicing Dafa Has Been a Rebirth

Ms. Hu, who was nearly paralyzed before she began practicing Dafa, said that, to her, the word “reborn” is profound. She explained that it’s hard for a healthy person to understand what it feels like to be in constant pain.

Ms. Hu suffered from many ailments since she was a child. The only part of her body that did not have issues were her eyes. The most severe conditions were hereditary heart disease and migraine headaches, as well as burning nerve pain. She also suffered from severe stomach cramps. She went to Chinese and Western doctors, but nothing they did helped.She said, “The pain was excruciating! By 2013, I could not move. I was nearly paralyzed. I could not take care of myself, so my family had to care for me. I was also depressed and could not sleep. My family said secretly I wouldn’t live past 35. I also knew I wouldn’t live much longer.”

When she lost all hope, a family member suggested she practice Dafa. She began to listen to tape recordings of Master’ lectures but she was not optimistic. She said, “One day, I discovered I didn’t need help to stand. I also realized I could get out of bed—no one needed help me. That’s when I realized I’d recovered.”

She said with emotion, “As I continued cultivating, Master resolved other ailments. I did not take a single pill. Whenever I recall everything Master has done for me, I cannot stop crying. I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I can only cultivatd diligently and not let Master down. I sincerely wish Master a happy Chinese New Year!”

Whole Family Benefits From Practicing Dafa

Mr. Deng, his wife, and their two children all practice Falun Dafa, and they say they’ve benefited tremendously. They are healthy, happy, and live in harmony. Their children are exceptionally intelligent and excel in their studies. Before they started to practice, Mr. Deng was misled by media reports and had misgivings about Dafa. Fortunately, his wife introduced him to it, and he realized it was good after he read Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun.

He discovered that what is taught in Zhuan Falun is the complete opposite of what he’d read before. He read more about Dafa and eventually started to practice.

From the time the couple’s son was born until he was two years old, he was often ill. At the Minghui school every Sunday, he read Falun Dafa’s teachings and did the exercises with other young practitioners. Within a few months, his parents were surprised to discover their son’s health problems such as high fevers, eczema, and so on had vanished. The boy told his father, “You should cultivate diligently!” Their young daughter, who began reading Dafa books with the family, said, “The book is colorful. It is a book from heaven.” Growing up in Dafa, she is sensible and kind, healthy and intelligent.

Mrs. Deng said, “In this materialistic world where values are in chaos, we are guided by Dafa. I feel extremely fortunate. We often remind ourselves and our children to follow Falun Dafa’s standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person who truly thinks of others.”

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Mr. Deng’s family thanks Master for saving them. He said, “Our whole family is immersed in Dafa’s Buddha light. We thank our magnificent Master for his compassion. Thank you, Master!”

Understanding the Meaning of Life After Practicing Dafa

Ms. Zhao, who has practiced Falun Dafa for over two decades, thanked Master for always protecting her. The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance not only helped her understand the meaning of life, she also learned to be strong.

The migraines that had plagued her for many years disappeared without medication. Family conflicts that had seemed insurmountable were resolved. All kinds of problems she ran into at work were settled. Having benefited in countless ways by practicing Dafa, she said, “I often recall that Master taught us to look within and be considerate. Things at work and in my life just keep improving. I am no longer lost since I started practicing. Immersed in the light of Dafa, I am healthy physically and mentally. I am happy.

“I am so grateful to Master for saving me,” said Ms. Zhao, “but there is no way I can repay him for his boundless grace. I can only cultivate diligently, assist him in the Fa rectification, and fulfill my vow. Happy Chinese New Year, Master!”
