(Minghui.org) With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, Chinese and Western Falun Dafa practitioners in New York gathered at Kissena Corridor Park on September 26, 2020, to wish the founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Practitioners in Kissena Corridor Park in New York wish the founder, Master Li Hongzhi, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Practitioners stayed in family groups to adhere to social distancing rules as they exclaimed “New York practitioners wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” in unison.

Many practitioners shared how practicing Falun Dafa helped them understand the meaning of life and improved their health. Having personally experienced the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa, they hope that more people will learn the practice.

Advanced Gastric Cancer Resolved

Ms. Xu Weiguo said that Falun Dafa gave her a second life. In 2001, Ms. Xu was undergoing chemotherapy and 4/5 of her stomach was removed; only a small fraction of her hemoglobin remained, and she was skin and bones. Her pupils were dilated. The doctor said she only had two months to live.

Ms. Xu Weiguo recovered from advanced gastric cancer after practicing Falun Dafa. She is grateful to Master for giving her a second life.

After practicing Falun Dafa, Ms. Xu Weiguo recovered and became a healthy person who could eat and sleep normally. Her friends and family knew she was dying. When they asked her what happened, she explained that she began practicing Falun Dafa. Many terminally ill people who heard her story were inspired to learn Falun Dafa.

“Many of these people are still practicing in China,” Ms. Xu said. “How could we believe the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies? I nearly died, but Dafa extended my life. Why would I stop practicing? Because the CCP doesn't allow me to? I have personally witnessed how amazing Falun Dafa is!”

“I've been healthy for 19 years and I'm already 67 years old. I've never been happier. Master, you've worked hard for us! I want to thank you!” she said.

Energetic 78-Year-Old

After Ms. Yu Yunsen, 78, started practicing Falun Dafa in July 1997, the bouts of dizziness and headaches that had plagued her for 30 years ended. Even though she is nearly 80 years old, she feels energetic and regularly goes to truth-clarification sites and the Chinese consulate to tell people about Falun Dafa.

Ms. Yu Yunsen, 78, said her illnesses were resolved after she began practicing Falun Dafa. “I am extremely grateful to Master!” she said.

Yi Rong, a member of the New York Dafa Association, said that she is very happy to wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. “I wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and wish all people a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!” she said.
