(Minghui.org) Since Master Li Hongzhi introduced Falun Dafa to the public in 1992, many practitioners have been studying the teachings in groups on a regular basis, even after the Chinese Communist Party launched a nationwide campaign against Falun Dafa in July 1999.

Such Fa-study groups have helped practitioners strengthen their faith in Falun Dafa and enabled them to persevere amid the ongoing persecution. With the arrival of 2026, many sent in their heartfelt greetings to Master Li for a Happy New Year. They expressed their deep gratitude to Master Li and also vowed to keep working hard to raise awareness of the persecution and bring Falun Dafa’s blessings to more people.

A nine-person Fa-study group in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, reported that their group was established shortly after Master Li gave lectures in Guiyang in May 1993. Despite the ongoing persecution, they have never wavered in their faith and have always felt that Master is right by their side, guiding their cultivation.

A four-person Fa-study group in Benxi City, Liaoning Province, wrote that through group Fa-study, they were able to comprehend deeper meanings of the Fa and look within when conflicts arose. They also found that they collaborated better in doing Dafa projects.

A Fa-study group in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, echoed the group in Benxi and also felt that their group's Fa-study helped them strengthen their faith since the group was formed over ten years ago.

A four-person Fa-study group in Linqing City, Shandong Province, was formed a bit over two years ago. They became inspired after coming across an article published on Minghui.org last year that talked about other practitioners reciting the Fa. They started memorizing Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa, in October 2024. It was difficult in the beginning, but they encouraged each other. As of now, the group has been able to recite the first six lectures of the book. The more they recite the Fa, the more they want to do it.

A Fa-study group in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, is made up of family members, and they have been helping each other in their cultivation during the past 26 years. They learned to live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and work hard to raise awareness of the persecution.

A Fa-study group in Tianmen City, Hubei Province, said that they were sometimes interfered with by their various attachments and did things that failed to conform to Dafa standards. But through Fa-study, they were able to recognize their shortcomings and do better.

A Fa-study group consisting of nine practitioners in their 60s to 80s in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, wrote that all of them were illiterate before taking up Falun Dafa but are now able to read all Dafa books fluently.

A five-person Fa-study group in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Provin,ce has one practitioner who had just resumed cultivation of Falun Dafa about three or four months ago. In the beginning, he spoke indistinctly during group reading of Dafa books. But with the help of the other four practitioners, he was able to read clearly. There was also another practitioner in the group who initially didn’t step out to talk to people about Falun Dafa. After sharing with each other, he felt the urgency to raise awareness of the persecution.

A two-person Fa-study group in Linyi City, Shandong Province, wrote that they let go of their fear of being arrested for their faith after starting to memorize the Fa. They now go out often to talk to people face-to-face about the goodness of Falun Dafa and the illegality of the persecution.

A Fa-study group in Chongqing is composed of elderly practitioners. One of them experienced sickness symptoms for years and recently made a breakthrough in cultivation through sharing with others in the group. He was able to see where he fell short, and the elevation of his understanding of Fa also gave him confidence to step out to talk to people about Falun Dafa.

In addition to the above, greetings were also received from Fa-study groups from the following regions:
