(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners from the following areas in Northwest Taiwan—Taoyuan and Hsinchu city, Hsinchu and Miaoli County—gathered at Zhubei Cultural Park on the morning of December 21, 2025, to send New Year greetings to Dafa’s founder, Master Li. Expressing their gratitude to Master Li, everyone said in chorus: “Happy New Year Master Li! Falun Dafa is Great! Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is Great!” Afterwards, the practitioners did the exercises together, studied the Fa (teachings), and discussed their cultivation experiences, encouraging one another to be diligent on their cultivation paths.

Practitioners from Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli County gathered at Zhubei Cultural Park to wish Master Li a Happy New Year.

Former IT Company Manager

Weizhe, who recently retired from working in an IT company, began practicing Falun Dafa in 2008. He previously worked in a computer chip technology company. After changing jobs to another tech company, he took on the workload of several people in a newly established department. Working under high pressure for long periods of time made him lose sleep every day. Eventually, his hands shook and he could not calm down. This made Weizhe rethink the purpose of life.

Weizhe had already read many books by authoritative figures in science and medicine, when a coworker suggested he read Zhuan Falun. Weizhe recalled, “I was deeply moved after I read just a few pages. The things written by the experts I’d read in the past were thoroughly and clearly explained in Master’s book.” He decided to practice Falun Dafa.

Weizhe thanks Master Li for helping him achieve good health.

Weizhe said his greatest change after practicing cultivation was a healthy mind and body. “After I began practicing Falun Dafa more than a decade ago, I’ve hardly used my medical card, and my physical and mental state are extremely stable,” he shared. “I learned to reflect on my shortcomings while at work, because I’m guided by [Dafa’s principles of] Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. I let go of my competitive mentality, I think of others, and my relationships with my coworkers have become more harmonious. Because of this, I was able to accomplish many things smoothly.” At home, Weizhe let go of his self-centered thinking and got rid of the habit of always demanding things from family members. His relationship with his family improved significantly. His wife even started to practice Falun Dafa after seeing the changes in her husband.

As the New Year approaches, Weizhe wants to say, “Words cannot express my gratitude to Master!” He thanks Master for helping him find direction in life when he was lost, truly changing his life. Besides wishing Master Happy New Year, he hopes more people can also practice Falun Dafa.

Woman Recovers From Stubborn Illness After Reading Zhuan Falun

Li Ling, 64, runs a restaurant with her husband. She grew up in a family that practiced Buddhism. Before she began practicing Falun Dafa, every time she passed by Zhulin Bridge in Hsinchu, or on the way to Beipu, she saw a large sign with the words: “Falun Dafa is Good.” She silently recited the words every time she saw the message. Once, while strolling near a primary school, she saw a couple who often dine in her restaurant doing the fifth Falun Dafa exercise. After she chatted with them, she decided to try Falun Dafa.

Li Ling thanks Master for offering her salvation and plans to cultivate diligently.

For over 10 years, Li Ling suffered from a foot deformity, with her big toe angling outward. Wearing shoes was painful. Lying in bed at night, she would cry in pain. When Li Ling read the first lecture of Zhuan Falun, she could not help crying. She felt her left big toe twitching, and her stubborn condition vanished just like that, without any medical treatment.

Li Ling once had surgery to remove a meningeal tumor, and afterward, she was easily stressed. However, the slow, gentle exercises of Falun Dafa were a great help in stabilizing her nerves.

Besides the health improvements, after more than two years of practicing Dafa, Li Ling’s moral character improved as a result of looking within and following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. In the past, when she had conflicts with her husband or son, she would argue endlessly and lose her temper. After she began practicing, Li Ling was able to control herself and not argue. But she was still upset. Later on, she was able to laugh and say, “It’s all my fault” and she stopped being angry.

Li Ling said, “I thank Master for teaching the Fa so that I can practice cultivation. I have no regrets in this life.” She also hopes to seize the time and really practice cultivation solidly in the new year.

Fortunate to Practice Cultivation

Since she was a child, Minghui, who turned 50 this year, was always prone to catching colds and fevers. She also had difficulty straightening her back due to a car accident. She gave birth to twins in 2011 but her oldest son had cerebral palsy. Despite several surgeries, he cannot take care of himself. She had to take of two children at the same time and often suffered from insomnia and bloating. She frequently visited hospitals and was found to have breast cancer.

Minghui thanks Master for giving her good health and showing her how to be a better person.

For many years, Minghui observed the huge changes in her mother after she practiced Falun Dafa and she eventually decided to also practice. She realized that what her mother told her about Dafa was true—she regained her health and stopped taking medicine. She no longer has trouble sleeping, and her husband even joked that she could sleep standing up.

Minghui used to complain about her husband and mother-in-law, but after she began practicing Falun Dafa, she began placing others first. One time, her children were asked at school: “Whose parents never fight? Whose family doesn’t have mother and daughter-in-law problems?” Her children happily raised their hands. Indeed, when one person practices Dafa, the whole family benefits!

As the New Year approaches, Minghui wants to tell Master: “Thank you, Master, for teaching such an amazing practice. Falun Dafa made me healthy and I remind myself to follow Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.” She hopes more people realize the benefits of practicing Dafa.

Seizing the Opportunity to Practice Diligently

Meixia began to practice cultivation thanks to her son. As a teenager, her son was a loner and did not get along with others. Yet, one day after he began attending university, he brought Zhuan Falun home and had a big smile on his face. Meixia said, “He was a completely different person.” Her son invited a neighbor to come over and watch a film about Falun Dafa. In that one hour, her runny nose symptoms that she took medication to control disappeared. Meixia was astonished by how extraordinary Dafa is and decided to start practicing. Her herniated disc, another problem that plagued her for many years, went away after she diligently did the exercises.

Meixia hopes to seize every opportunity to cultivate well.

As the new year approaches, Meixia would like to advise young practitioners that time is passing: don’t miss this opportunity. She thanks Master and hopes she can make good use of her time to cultivate diligently.
