I sincerely wish Master a happy birthday and I join everyone in celebrating World Falun Dafa Day.”

“One does not do evil just because it is a trivial thing, nor does he avoid doing good just because it is a trivial thing. I found that every gesture, every word and every eye contact of Falun Gong disciples shows their kindness and their demeanor can really save people. I hope they do even better in the future so as to set good examples for the world's people.
“May 13th is a precious opportunity to show my gratitude to Master, but it seems no human language can do justice. I wish Master a happy birthday.
