(Minghui.org) Many new practitioners of Falun Gong sent in their greetings to wish revered Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Though they haven't cultivated for very long, they have already benefited tremendously from this wonderful practice. They are deeply grateful to Master for His compassionate salvation and are determined to make good use of their time to do well the three things required of Dafa disciples.

These new practitioners hail from the following places: Lianyungang City and Nanjing City inJiangsu Province; the Wanzhou District, Chongqing; Kaijiang County, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province; the Zichuan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province; Rongcheng City, Weihai, Shandong Province; Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province; Guangxi Province; and Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.

One practitioner in particular has a compelling story to tell regarding the benefits of Falun Gong.

In her younger years, she had to work very hard to support a family of six, and life was rather bitter and tiring. After all her children were grown, it didn't get any easier for her. She suffered from high blood pressure, a slipped disc and periarthritis humeroscapularis (a painful shoulder). Despite the pain, she still had to do grocery shopping every day.

A younger woman noticed her suffering and suggested that she recite “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She decided to give it a try and was delighted to see her health problems disappear.

About a year into her practice, however, she discovered a tumor so she had it surgically removed. It usually took one week for patients with similar symptoms to be discharged, yet she left the hospital in just two days. She realized Master was helping her.

She used to argue with her husband all the time, but she was much calmer after her cultivation. Her husband was very happy for her.

Her local practitioners brought her truth-clarification materials to read, and she came to understand that she needed to solidly cultivate herself by constantly improving her character.

Now she is completely illness free. She thanks Master and fellow practitioners for their help and wishes Master a happy holiday.
