(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners around the world celebrate the 26^th World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, 2025. The day is also the birthday of Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa’s founder, and the 33^rd anniversary of the practice being introduced to the public in China. As this year’s Falun Dafa Day is fast approaching, people throughout China have sent letters and cards to thank Mr. Li for the great teachings that improved their lives. They hope the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance will one day shine across the land of China and guide the people to the righteous Way.

More and more people understand that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.” They know that they need to keep kindness in their hearts even in these times of moral decline. More people are quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, as they realize that not siding with the Party is choosing a great future for themselves and their families.

A convenience store worker in Meishan City, Sichuan Province, said, “I am grateful that Master Li taught me the high principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, which allow me to be a good person. Although I am not a practitioner, I really like the teachings, and I read Falun Dafa books every day. I am reading the complete set of books for the third time. I enjoy my life now. Before I learned the practice, I got into physical fights a lot and had a terrible temper. Now not only have I corrected myself, I also help people around me to correct themselves. Master Li steered me away from danger.”

A taxi driver from Mouping District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, expressed his gratitude. He said, “Thank you Master Li. I have been a taxi driver for almost 20 years. I have met quite a few practitioners, and they are kind, friendly, and trustworthy. They told me the facts behind the persecution of Falun Dafa. I respect your disciples. Even though I have not officially started practicing Falun Dafa, I know that practitioners are saving people from being destroyed by the CCP.”

A family of five in Loudi City, Hunan Province, wished Master Li a happy birthday, “We wish all goes well with Master Li. Thank you for protecting our family and bringing us good luck. We will never forget your grace. May Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance shine across the land of China, and bring our race back to the righteous Way. Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

The following are more messages from non-practitioners. They wished Mr. Li a happy birthday and expressed their gratitude to him.

A 94-year-old man who understood the truth about Falun Dafa said that he experienced Mr. Li’s protection, so he stayed safe and sound. He thanked Mr. Li.

The family members of a practitioner in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, thanked Mr. Li for his blessings for the family.

A former classmate of a practitioner said she respected a practitioner for holding on to her faith during the persecution. The classmate learned the truth and quit the CCP. As a result, she and her family stayed healthy during the COVID pandemic.

A woman, after quitting the CCP, sincerely believed that Falun Dafa is a righteous practice. She asked if Master Li could bless her with a child. A few months later, she was pregnant and gave birth to a healthy boy. She thanked Master Li for the blessing.
