Dafa Makes My Life Happy

Shuhui, who works in Taiwan’s health insurance, started practicing Falun Dafa in 2003 on the recommendation of a colleague who lived in Hualien. Shuhui said, “I didn’t learn Dafa because I was ill. I studied other spiritual schools before, but I always felt something was lacking. When I watched the video of Master’s lecture, I felt that Dafa is very upright, does not accept money or gifts, and the principles of Dafa are clear. I decided to practice.”

Shuhui appreciates Master Li.

After Shuhui started practicing, she was happy every day. One day, the dizziness that troubled her for many years suddenly returned and she couldn’t fall asleep. She realized Master was helping to eliminate bad things from her body, so Shuhui strengthened her practice. When she practiced the third set of exercises, her body twitched slightly. When she practiced the fourth set, the pores of her body suddenly seemed to open up, and the dizziness was gone. It hasn’t returned since then.

By reading the Fa, Shuhui realized that practitioners should look inward when they encounter conflicts and cultivate their xinxing. She often reminds herself to do so. When she first started practicing, her marriage was in a bad state. She remembered what Master taught—when others treat you badly, not only can you eliminate karma, but the other party will also compensate you with virtue. She felt much calmer and no longer argued with her husband about right and wrong, winning or losing, and the family atmosphere became harmonious.

Facing personal interests and competition among colleagues in the company, Shuhui said, “I face them calmly and let things take their course. I don’t care about promotion or wealth. What is mine is mine, and what is not mine is not mine. I don’t fight or compete for it. I am happy. I am very grateful to Master for imparting such a good Fa to us. It not only helps us to be healthy physically and mentally but also helps us become people with noble morals.”

Realizing the Meaning of Life

Hsinhung, wife and children.

Hsinhung, who works at a steel company, and his family thanked Master for his kindness. Hsinhung started practicing in 2014 and has been practicing for ten years. His wife is also a Falun Dafa practitioner. They met and got married when they participated in the Tian Guo Marching Band. The whole family came together to wish Master a Happy New Year. 

Hsinhung said, “The past ten years of practicing have had a huge impact on my body and mind. Before practicing Falun Dafa, I often had pain in my left shoulder, but after practicing, it disappeared.

“After practicing, I often remind myself to be considerate at home and at work, and to complete tasks based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” 

Hsinhung participated in some projects and encountered issues that helped improve his xinxing. “When I encounter difficulties I think about it based on the Fa, find my shortcomings, and eliminate them, so that I can complete the project well.”

During the past ten years of cultivation, Hsinhung has been tested and tempered time and time again. Through studying the Fa, Hsinhung has continuously improved his xinxing. He no longer pursues fame, wealth, and emotion among ordinary people.

Hsinhung said, “After cultivation, I realize what is most important to do in this world. I will practice diligently, eliminate my shortcomings, and repay Master’s kindness. I can’t see Master in Taiwan, so today, with a grateful heart, my whole family and other practitioners express our infinite respect for Master and gratitude for his salvation. I wish Master a happy New Year.”

Illnesses Gone After Practicing Dafa

Meimiao, a practitioner from Kaohsiung, said that she started practicing Falun Dafa in 2002. At that time, she was weak and sick. In the early days, her husband had a bad temper and there were many conflicts. The family atmosphere was negative and frustrating. She felt that she could not survive and often had thoughts of suicide.

One holiday, she took her daughter to the Kaohsiung Cultural Center for a class. She saw a Children’s Minghui Class on the lawn next to it. An adult was teaching a group of children to practice the exercises. Meimiao and her daughter were drawn and stopped to watch for a long time. A practitioner came over and taught her the first set of exercises. She felt comfortable and thought that the exercise was great and wanted to continue practicing them. Her daughter also encouraged her to practice, and the mother and daughter started to practice Falun Dafa together.

When she first bought the book Zhuan Falun, she read it all night. She was very moved and excited. She wept and thought, “I suffered so much just to obtain this Fa. This book is what I’m looking for. I am so happy that I couldn’t express it in words.”

Miaomiao said, “My sleep improved. I don’t have random thoughts anymore. My sciatica is gone. All my illnesses disappeared. I have truly experienced the joy of being free of illness.” When she first started practicing, her husband interfered with her in every way and often verbally abused her. But after seeing the changes in her body and mind, he supported her practice, and now the family is harmonious.

From being on the verge of physical and mental collapse to being free of illness, Miaomiao’s gratitude to Master cannot be expressed in words. Miaomiao wished Master a happy New Year!

Returning to One’s True Nature

Yuli, a retired junior high school teacher, wishes Master a Happy New Year! When he was young, he often wondered what the purpose of life was. He searched everywhere and studied other cultivation schools for many years, but he gained nothing. One day, he saw a poster at a grocery store that showed the five Falun Dafa exercises. It seemed familiar to him, so he browsed Minghui online. 

As a teacher every year he was often exposed to illnesses, so he frequently had a sore throat and rhinitis that lasted for several months. He took Chinese and Western medicines, but it did not help. Yuli said that after he began practicing he was no longer sick. 

“Master taught me how to truly cultivate myself and return to my true nature. He showed me the truth of the universe in the simplest words, and let me know where life comes from, where people go after death, and what the real purpose of coming to the human world is. I know what to do to return to my true nature. I am honored to be able to practice Dafa in this life.”

Yuli said, “After I began practicing, I felt light and free of illnesses. I study the Fa and practice the exercises every day, do what Master wants me to do, introduce Dafa and clarify the truth to let more people know that Falun Dafa is good so they can receive the blessings of Dafa. No words can express my gratitude to Master. I wish him a Happy New Year! I bow to Master for his great grace and salvation!”
