(Minghui.org) As World Falun Dafa Day approaches, many who are new to the practice of Falun Dafa sent their greetings to wish revered Master Li a Happy Birthday and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction.

These well-wishers, from millennials to people in their 70s, didn't start practicing Falun Dafa until recently. Some of them are at the peak of their careers, while others are enjoying their retirement. Regardless, they share one thing in common – they are all immensely grateful to have become Falun Dafa practitioners.

Many of them have become illness-free or seen dangers averted. Having benefited so much, they feel compelled to share their stories and raise awareness about the persecution of Falun Dafa.

A new practitioner in Shandong Province, who took up the practice after exhausting all other avenues of treatment, wrote, “I used to have stomach cancer. I was swollen all over because of dropsy. No hospital could treat my cancer, and I was without hope. My sister introduced Falun Dafa to me. Great Master saved my life!”
