(Minghui.org) The year 2024 was eventful, and with 2025 on the horizon Falun Dafa practitioners know we must make the best use of the remaining time to assimilate to the Fa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and assist {Master}} in saving people.

Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ongoing persecution, practitioners routinely overcome difficulties to meet and study Falun Dafa’s teachings. Many of them wrote to Minghui recently to thank Falun Dafa and wish Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of the practice, a happy New Year.

One study group in Pingdingshan, Henan Province, wrote that practitioners in their group are elderly with limited education. “But from our lifelong experience, we know that Falun Dafa is the most righteous, and very precious. Thank you Master for teaching us Falun Dafa and tirelessly explaining the Fa to us in detail. Falun Dafa helps us understand why we are here in this world and gives us wisdom. Some of us have begun to memorize the Fa (teachings) to stay diligent. Thank you Master and happy New Year!”

Practitioners in Baicheng City, Jilin Province, said they truly cherish the opportunity to study the Fa together. “This allows us to look within and constantly improve our xinxing so that we can do better in helping Master save people,” they wrote.

Cultivation practice following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is not easy, wrote practitioners from a study group in Macheng City, Hubei Province. That’s why they are grateful to Master for his compassion and painstaking care. “By memorizing Falun Dafa’s teachings, some of us have become more clear-headed and no longer doze off when we read the teachings; some have overcome serious illness tribulations by passing the tests of life and death,” they wrote. “We’ve been able to remain diligent and support each other while facing the battle between good and evil.”

Practitioners from Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, wrote, “Thank you Master Li for bringing us together. Falun Dafa showed us how to become better citizens and strengthen righteous thoughts. We will do better in saving people and return with Master.”

Some practitioners in Jinan City, Shandong Province have practiced Falun Dafa for over 30 years. “During this period of time, we are fortunate to become Falun Dafa practitioners, like lost children finding their way back home. We have also become more mature, like children growing up to be adults,” they wrote in their greetings. “We hope that when we meet Master one day, we can say without regret, ‘Master Li, we have done as you asked.’ Thank you for everything, and we sincerely wish Master a happy New Year!”

A poem was received from practitioners in Bijie City, Guizhou Province:

Cultivation Is Priceless

After thousands of years in history,
       we have finally met Falun Dafa truly righteous;
Having fortunately become practitioners,
       we know this is the most precious.
Cultivating body and mind every day,
       we are walking toward the divine with gratitude along the way;
Constantly improving mind nature and fulfilling our mission,
       we help save people and return with Master upon achieving consummation.
