(Minghui.org) With the 2016 Chinese New Year right around the corner, many new Falun Dafa practitioners sent in their greetings to wish Master Li Hongzhi a happy Chinese Year! Along with the written greetings are scores of homemade greeting cards, poems, and photographs expressing gratitude and good wishes to Master Li for a Happy New Year.

These 22 greetings come from well-wishers in the following places:

Kaijiang County and Chengdu City in Sichuan ProvinceJiangsu ProvinceAnhui ProvinceDaxing'anling Tahe County, Harbin City and Jiamusi in Heilongjiang ProvinceLangfang City, Baoding City and Gaobeidian City in Hebei ProvinceYantai City and Zhaoyuan City in Shandong ProvinceHunan ProvinceXimeng area in Inner MongoliaJiangsi ProvinceHenan Province

Many of the new practitioners are from the same family, the same workplace, or the same Fa-study group. They only began their cultivation of Falun Dafa in recent years, and they want to express their gratitude to Master Li for the opportunity to experience the life-changing practice.

One greeting from a six-person Fa study group in Langfang City, Hebei Province, wrote, “My older sister and I obtained the Fa in 2012. In these three years of cultivation, I have always felt Master's compassionate protection. After practicing Dafa, my sister no longer needs medicine after taking it for 40 years. In addition, she could not walk previously. 'Now,' she said, 'I can walk wherever I want to. Dafa is so mystical.' My older brother also expressed his intention to practice. The three of us wish compassionate Master a happy new year! We will do the three things well and follow Master home.”

A practitioner, her child, and her mother from Jiangxi wish Master a happy new year. She recalled her 20-year cultivation journey, from when she first started out as a young disciple to becoming a mother in recent years. She said that she has often slacked off in doing the exercises and studying the Fa. She was also very lax in saving sentient beings and felt extremely ashamed.

This practitioner could still recall her dream when she first obtained the Fa. In the dream, Master told her that he believed she would definitely consummate. She does not want to disappoint Master or violate her prehistoric vows.

She said: “I'm very worried now. I am determined to do my very best in this limited time left to be a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple and do what a disciple should do so that I can return home with Master. Master, please supervise me. I hope that, this year, I can do what I have promised and fulfill my mission!”
