(Minghui.org) To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as the Moon Festival), European Falun Dafa practitioners gathered in Warsaw, Poland on September 9, 2022. They held many truth-clarification activities and took a group photo to wish Master Li a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Many practitioners talked about how Dafa has benefited them both spiritually and physically and expressed their sincere gratitude to Master.

“Master is always protecting me”

“I am truly grateful to Master for always protecting me and staying by my side. I am very fortunate to be able to practice Falun Dafa,” said Waldemar, a practitioner from Germany. Waldemar, who owns a construction company, said, “I’ve dreamed about Falun emblems. All the negative substances were eliminated when I asked Master for help. I felt that Master paid extra attention to me.”

About ten years ago Waldemar saw a film about Falun Dafa on ZDF, the German public-service television station, and was curious about the practice. “Soon after, I met practitioners doing the exercises while I was reading a book in a park in Frankfurt. They caught my attention because I was interested in qigong at that time.

“I was amazed by the elderly practitioners. They seemed so calm and peaceful.” That sparked Waldemar’s interest. “I knew that this practice was very special. I was given some Falun Dafa informational materials but I did not have time to look at them. When I returned to my hometown in Poland, I began reading qigong books and felt quite uncomfortable.

“I suddenly remembered Falun Dafa and downloaded Master’s lectures and instructional videos. As soon as I began to practice the exercises, I felt a great energy field. I knew this practice was extraordinary. To me, this is the best practice. I feel very happy and I’ve benefited both physically and spiritually.”

“Falun Dafa gave me a direction in life”

Marie-Laure from Brittany, France, said, “Thank you, Master, for teaching me Falun Dafa and for giving me direction in life.” Marie-Laure’s yoga teacher invited her for yoga lessons on the beaches of the Pays Basque County. While there she saw practitioners doing the exercises. She was emotionally touched when she heard the exercise music and began to tear up. A practitioner started to teach her the exercises. After the practitioner moved out of the county, Marie learned the exercises online.

Marie-Laure learned to look inward and conduct herself better. She could feel Master’s presence and protection. Tears came to her eyes as she said, “My cultivation path follows a pathway. I feel uncomfortable as soon as I step off of it. Therefore, I rectify myself immediately because the longer I postpone rectifying myself, the harder it will be to return to cultivation.”

She said that she used to have back pain and went to different doctors. After she began practicing Falun Dafa, she no longer needed to see a doctor. She wants to tell everyone about the blessings she’s derived from practicing Dafa, so she participates in local group practice sites and introduces people to Falun Dafa. She hopes more people will learn how wonderful Falun Dafa is.

“Falun Dafa has changed my life forever”

Piotr from Poland said, “Falun Dafa has changed my life forever. I am not exaggerating. Master taught me to think of others first, how to be grateful for all that I have, how to be humble, how to maintain a calm heart amid tribulations, and how to stay truthful and compassionate.”

Piotr from Poland said, “No words can describe my gratitude to Master.”

“There are literally no words that can describe my gratitude to Master. No language in the world is fit to describe how holy, magnificent, and great Master is.”

“Master has given me a new life”

Ms. Quach from Vietnam lives in the Czech Republic. She said, “I wish Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Master for changing my life.”

Ms. Quach has practiced Falun Dafa for eight years. Before she began practicing she suffered from poor health. She experienced significant changes in her body when her brother introduced Falun Dafa to her.

“I did not understand Falun Dafa’s principles at first. As I continued to read the teachings, I realized that Dafa encompasses everything. Falun Dafa has also given me wisdom. My relationships with my daughter and son also changed for the better. I no longer hit them or reprimand them. After witnessing the positive changes in me, my children also started to practice Falun Dafa.”

Ms. Quach realized the importance of ending the persecution as well as informing more people about Falun Dafa. She has participated in many different Falun Dafa activities over the years. “I’ve traveled to Poland and I tell everyone about the beauty and wonders of Falun Dafa. I want to tell people about the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing persecution of Dafa.”

“I am grateful to Master for awakening me from the spell of delusion”

Tomasz from Poland started practicing Dafa three years ago. “One of my colleagues is a Falun Dafa practitioner and I learned about the practice from him. I’ve tried other cultivation methods in the past but could never persist because it was not what I wanted.

“I am grateful to Master for awakening me from the spell of delusion. I caused a lot of trouble in the past and I did not why. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I knew it was because I was not walking on a righteous path. I am grateful to Master for showing me this.”
