September 14 marked China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday for family get-togethers. Over the past few days, Falun Gong practitioners from all around the world, especially those from mainland China, have sent greetings through minghui.net to their practice’s founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, wishing him a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Beautiful greeting cards, animation, poetry, and calligraphy have been sent to show gratitude toward their teacher. It reflects their indomitable spirit and optimistic, self-confidence attitude despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) high-pressure rule, while it reveals that the CCP’s brutal suppression of Falun Gong for nine years has not achieved its purpose.

Since July 20, 1999, Falun Gong practitioners from all around the world have sent greetings to their practice’s founder during the holidays, especially Chinese New Year and Mr. Li’s birthday. This is particularly true for mainland Chinese practitioners who are still in a dangerous situation due to the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong—their greetings express their gratitude and hope to reunite with their teacher.

This year, greetings come from dozens of provinces across mainland China.

Since Mr. Li Hongzhi introduced Falun Dafa to the city of Changchun in 1992, the practice has been spread to over 80 countries in just 16 years, with 100 million practitioners worldwide. Mr. Li has received numerous awards and proclamations from government agencies around the world, including four nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize since 2000.

Falun Dafa is a high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe—Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, with five sets of easy-to-learn exercises. Practitioners of Falun Dafa generally become healthy in mind, body, and spirit.
