Practitioners in Hawaii Express Gratitude to Master Li and Wish Him a Happy New Year

(Minghui.org) The practitioners from a truth-clarification site in Hawaii gathered on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki on the evening of December 27, 2025 to wish Master Li a Happy New Year. They expressed their gratitude to Master Li for teaching them the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and guiding them to walk on a path to return to their true selves. As the New Year is just around the corner, they wished Master Li a Happy New Year and express their immense gratitude to him for his compassionate saving grace. They exclaimed, “We wish Master a Happy New Year! Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

They said, “In the New Year, we will definitely cultivate diligently, cultivate ourselves well, expose Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies and tell people the truth about Falun Dafa and convey the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa to people, and spread Master’s boundless compassion to everyone we meet.”

Falun Dafa practitioners wish Master a Happy New Year. They exclaimed in unison, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

Tourists stopped and talked to practitioners to learn more about Falun Dafa and the persecution.

Kalakaua Avenue is a must-see tourist destination in Waikiki, and nearly 100 hotels and restaurants are located there. The avenue is lined with shops and entertainment venues. People go there in the evening to eat, shop, and watch street performances. The practitioners in Hawaii have a stall on this street every day.

On the evening of December 27, 2025, they set up posters, played videos about Falun Dafa, demonstrated the exercises, gave out flyers and talked to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution. Many people were attracted by the calm and peaceful atmosphere. They stopped to read the posters to learn more about the persecution in China.

This was the first time some people heard about Falun Dafa. Some of them were shocked by the organ harvesting atrocities in China and expressed sympathy and concern. Many people thanked practitioners after they learned about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and they took pamphlets and flyers. They thanked practitioners for holding the event.

Cultivating Herself Well and Saving More Sentient Beings

After Qing began practicing Falun Dafa in 2003 she’s become healthy and energetic. She often comes to the booth in Waikiki to clarify the truth to people and hands out flyers. One day she saw a man kneel down in front of the posters when he saw the pictures of the torture and organ harvesting. He kept wiping his tears. Qing was very touched.

On another occasion, a Chinese lady who lived in Hawaii for a long time saw Qing meditating and she sat down near her and began meditating. She told Qing she knew that Falun Dafa is really good. Several years ago she had problem with her feet. She followed the online exercise demo to practice the Falun Dafa exercises for several days, and the pain disappeared. Whenever she knew any friend or relative had health problems, she encouraged them to practice the Falun Dafa exercises. She said that she had introduced Falun Dafa to many people and told them that Falun Dafa is good.

One day a middle-aged Indian tourist came to the stall. He said, “You must continue exposing the persecution. You see the situation changes quickly. I believe that Falun Dafa will go back to its hometown soon.”

As the New Year is approaching, Qing expressed her immense gratitude to Master. She said tourists from all over the world visit Hawaii, and the truth-clarifying site enables many people to learn the truth about the persecution.

Her Family Members Changed

Xiao Lou was a teacher and started practicing Falun Dafa in September 2019. After she listened to Master’s video lectures, she let go of her attachment to being a vegetarian. She said she’s a changed person after she started practicing Falun Dafa.

However, she didn’t share this good practice with her family members, so they objected to her practicing Falun Dafa because they listened to the CCP’s lies and slander. Her husband and father bad mouthed Falun Dafa. Her younger brother threatened to sever his relationship with her.

Later her husband and father were involved in car accidents. She repeatedly clarified the truth to her family members, and told them that people have to pay for their bad deeds. Gradually her family members understood the truth and they now have a positive attitude towards Falun Dafa. They also let go of many atheist notions.

Her family members have been blessed after they believed that Falun Dafa is good and they began treating Falun Dafa practitioners kindly. Her mother was infected with COVID-19 and had to isolate herself. She couldn’t go anywhere and felt uncomfortable and helpless. Xiao Lou asked her mother to repeat “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and said it could help her recover.

Her mother didn’t believe her initially and asked, “I know Falun Dafa is good, but how can these 9 Chinese characters make a virus disappear?”

She told her mother, “The words themselves don’t have the power but the Gods, Dao and Buddha behind these words have power. Many people don’t believe in the Divine, but you chose to believe; When Falun Dafa is persecuted so severely, you still chose to believe in Falun Dafa and Master, Gods will protect you.” Her mother understood and repeated “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Her COVID symptoms were gone the next day. She said sincerely, “Going forward, I will follow Master.”

Xiao Lou’s younger brother knew the truth and wanted to donate money, so she used the money to make Falun Dafa materials. Her brother was blessed. Even though the economy was bad his income increased.

Xiao Lou realized from her family members’ experiences that it’s very important to clarify the truth to people, especially to the Chinese people who are deeply poisoned by the CCP’s lies. Clarifying the truth well is saving them. Master said that every sentient being in this world was Master’s relative and he told us to clarify the truth well to people and save them. The word “relative” weighs heavily in her heart. She said, “Master, thank you for your immense compassion. Please be assured that I will be a good messenger of yours in the New Year and help you save more sentient beings.”

Cultivating Himself Well While Clarifying the Truth to People

Xiao Lu started practicing Falun Dafa in June 2023. He said, “Most importantly, I have experienced peace and tolerance after I began practicing Falun Dafa. I am no longer hot-tempered. Facing conflicts, I look within to see if I have any problems. Falun Dafa shows me a path to inner peace and how to return to kindness.”

He has learned to look within after he began practicing Falun Dafa. He understands that conflicts don’t appear accidentally and they are good opportunities for him to improve his xinxing. He is no longer attached to who is right and who is wrong. His family members also said that he’s become well-tempered and gentle, and doesn’t fuss over many things. He gets along well with people. He said that he understood more from his own changes of how Falun Dafa improves and elevates people.

New practitioner Xiao Lu expressed his thanks to Master!

He often comes to the truth-clarifying site to demonstrate the exercises and to tell people about Falun Dafa. He said, “I feel that clarifying the truth and demonstrating the exercises in this site is telling people the facts about Falun Dafa. It is every practitioner’s responsibility and kindness to do so. I started practicing after I learned the truth about Falun Dafa. I hope more people will awaken from the misunderstandings and treat Falun Dafa and practitioners with reason.”

As New Year is approaching, he would like to express his gratitude to Master Li. He said, “Thank you, Master, for your salvation, rescuing me from pain and being lost, and guiding me on my cultivation path. I know how to look within and cultivate my xinxing after I practice Falun Dafa. I’ve become strict with myself according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. This is the most precious benefit I have received in my life. Although I have shortcomings and many attachments, I need to let go of, Master you constantly remind me, encourage me and protect me and enable me to stand up after I fall down. I know that Master has borne a lot for me. I will cherish this cultivation opportunity, cultivate myself solidly, do the three things well to be worthy of Master’s compassion and expectation of me. Thank you Master!”
