(Clearwisdom.net) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The theistic cultures corresponding to different dynasties' sovereign
beings have passed down in China from generation to generation. The long
history created the opportunities for people to obtain the Fa. Looking back in
history, many hardships have been endured, and many noble spirits manifested.
For instance, the forbearance of Han Xin (An ancient Chinese hero who bore the
humiliation of crawling between a ruffian's legs, but later became the
backbone of his country), the broad-mindedness of Taizong (The greatest
emperor in the Tang Dynasty), the endurance of the Yang family (a family of
famous generals safeguarding the country in the Song Dynasty), and the
generosity of Kangxi (the greatest emperor in the Qing Dynasty), and all of
these were simply for paving the road for sentient beings to obtain the Fa. The heavenly gate is open for the first time in millions of years, the vast
Buddha's grace fills the entire cosmos and sentient beings are encouraged and
happy. The foolish old forces and the furious red dragon attempted to
interfere with the Fa-rectification, just like a mantis trying to stop a
chariot. Humans and gods are both indignant towards them. It has been 12 years since Dafa was introduced. People follow goodness as
naturally as a river follows its course. The dense and dark haze is swept. The
light of Fa is boundlessly shining and the new cosmos is resplendent. Sentient
beings extol together: "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Dear Great Master, Greetings! Dafa practitioners from Hainan Province long for seeing you again! We are
grateful for your compassionate saving. We thank you for your guidance and
bestowing the sacred mission of saving sentient beings in Fa-rectification on
us. We will try even harder to do the three things (study the Fa, clarify the
truth and send forth righteous thoughts) well. Teacher, please rest assured. As Teacher's birthday is coming, please accept our deep blessing: We wish
Master a happy birthday! Teacher, you have given so much for sentient beings! Practitioners from Hainan Greetings Master! As the 12th anniversary of the Falun Dafa's introduction is
coming, we, Dafa practitioners from Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province extend our
sincerest respect to revered Master. At this critical moment when the
firmament nearly completely renewed, and regarding whether sentient beings
will be saved, we are so fortunate to be chosen by Teacher as Fa-rectification
period Dafa disciples. We will try our best to fulfill our historic mission
with Teacher's guidance. We will walk this last leg of the journey with our
indestructible righteous thoughts. We thank Teacher for all Teacher has done
for us. We thank overseas fellow practitioners for their support and help.
Thank you! Heshi The heavenly gate is open Teacher comes to spread the Fa The principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance Has been embedded in practitioners' hearts All the filth is cleared, Meditating on the lotus flower Do the three things well Sincerely thank Teacher's grace All practitioners from Lianyungang, Jiangsu--Heshi May 9, 2004 On this occasion when Master's birthday is coming, all Dafa practitioners
from Tongliao area extend our appreciation for Master's benevolent saving!
Practitioners expressed: No mater how hard and dangerous the environment is, no
matter how furious the evil is, no matter how difficult it is to save the
sentient beings, we will definitely follow Teacher to accomplish the entire
process of the Fa-rectification so as to fulfill our historic mission. We will
definitely listen to Teacher and be good disciples, so Teacher's heart can be at
rest. The following is a poem written by a practitioner from Tongliao entitled
"Road to Home" and it is presented to our great Teacher. Road to Home Millions of years have passed Being unaware of the sins I had committed Painfully waiting and waiting Riding the waves Closely shaking my hand Countless brambles are on the road The bell sounds, calling us to return Wandering from place to place In the auspicious light, we gradually became awakened Washing the filth with tears Who are those? Who are those? They forgot their road to home (May 7, 2004, written at Tongliao) On the occasion of the 12th anniversary of Falun Dafa's
introduction, practitioners from Yunnan could not find the words to express
our gratitude for Teacher's compassionate saving. We only wish that together
with fellow practitioners all over the world, we will assist Teacher to
rectify the Fa, and righteously walk the last leg of journey well. Wishing a great success of the celebration of World Falun Dafa Day By practitioners from Yunnan Dear Fellow practitioners: Greetings! We are practitioners from Jinzhong and Jindongnan area, Shanxi
Province. When Teacher gives lectures, please be sure to send greetings to Teacher on
our behalf! Please be sure to send greetings to Teacher on our behalf! Please be sure to send greetings to Teacher on our behalf! Thank you! Heshi Practitioners from Jinzhong and Jindongnan area, Shanxi Province As Teacher's birthday and the World Falun Dafa Day are coming, Dafa
practitioners from Guangzhou City wish Teacher a happy birthday! We hope all
fellow practitioners will be even more diligent in cultivation. Teacher, please rest assured, practitioners from Guangzhou will see clearly
where we fall short and do well the three things that Dafa practitioners are
supposed to do. Spreading the Fa for 12 years, Six Dafa practitioners were abducted on April 24 in Weifang City. They are
currently imprisoned. On behalf of them, we respectfully welcome World Falun
Dafa Day and send greetings to Master! Shackled and cuffed in prison Our hearts are free Eliminate the evil factors with righteous thoughts We will be back soon to validate the Fa May 8, 2004 All Dafa practitioners from Laiwu City, Shandong Province celebrate the 12th
Anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction and the May 13, 2004 World Falun Dafa
Day. We extend greetings to Master! Twelve years is just an instant moment Golden lotus flowers are blooming in the process of Fa-rectification Without slacking off in doing the three great things The cosmos will be all encompassing Dafa practitioners from Laiwu, Shandong Province Master's birthday is coming soon. Practitioners from Jinzhou City, Liaoning
Province extend greetings to Master. Student practitioners from Jinzhou send
greetings to Master. At the same time, we extend greetings to Master on behalf
of practitioners in the education circle. On this great day of double happiness, we are determined to follow
Teacher's guidance: Study the Fa more and do all things in accordance with the
Fa. We will use our righteous thoughts to dictate our lives and clearly
understand the path that we will take. We will make sure to clearly understand
the goals and meanings of our lives. Walk the last leg of Fa-rectification
journey well. We hope Teacher can have more console than worry. All practitioners from Huaihua, Hunan Province
I'm still a child standing by the river and looking into the distance
Pick up a colorful stone
Despite the rising gale
Being unaware of with whom I made the commitment
I came to the human world
Where I have suffered much wind and frost
I know in my heart that a giant boat will come
And carry me to the place in my dreams
Returning home is what I've been away so long for
Comes Teacher's Fa-boat
Staggering along, I rush toward it
Tears streaming down
Teacher guides me to traverse layers upon layers of dense fogs
All of the drifting spirits
Finally find their destination
Plus beasts of prey
Teacher told me not to be scared
Stars are shining
And I will always be by your side
Return home, my child!
Do not wonder about
You've been so far away
Remember the road to home
Involuntarily
I've incurred countless bad habits
And also forgot my goal of coming here
See through myself
In the vanity of the world
I've committed so many misdeeds
We are lucky to find ourselves
Dedicatedly
We walk on the road to home
Without recognizing their own home
They regard the evil as their father
Mistakenly regarding other places as their home
And addicted to the poisonous wines and sexual appeals
Billions of years have passed
Millions of rounds of samsara have taken place
Child standing by the river
It's getting light
It's time to go home
Teacher has born countless hardships
On Teacher's birthday,
We thank Teacher's boundless grace
Disciples congratulate Teacher
Righteous thoughts rise
Eliminate the evil factors and save sentient beings
It is our duty to validate the Fa
