Engineer: Practicing Falun Gong is very blessed

Yewei wishes Master Li a Happy New Year. He believes it is a great blessing to learn Falun Gong

Yewei, who lives in Taichung and works as an engineer in the technology industry, believes that “it is a great blessing to be able to learn Falun Gong in this life.” He said, “Practicing Falun Gong has made me understand the ultimate purpose of this life, which is to return to the origin of life.” The goal of returning to the origin has made him feel at peace physically and mentally.

About to enter his 50s, Yewei began to learn Falun Gong in graduate school after being recommended by a professor. “Zhuan Falun is such an amazing book. It has deeply influenced me.” He said the principles expounded in the book are concepts he had never had before. The principles conflicted with his own outlook on life and values at first, but after practicing, he found that the principles of Dafa were correct.

For example, he studied business, and the competitive tactics of business are to pursue fame and fortune, and even use any means. But Dafa requires to use Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance as the principles in our daily lives, and practitioners should be sincere, and kind, put others before themselves, and abandon bad concepts. He found that these are the true principles of being a human.

Yewei realized that “what Master said is right and is the truth.” The purpose of being human is “to return to the origin of life. This is a very clear and desirable path."

Civil engineer: cultivating Dafa, life is no longer confusing

Zhida wishes Master Li a Happy New Year.

“I am so lucky to be able to obtain Falun Dafa.” Zhida from Nantou was grateful to Master for teaching Dafa. He said, “I have found my true self, my life is no longer confused, and the future is full of hope.”

Zhida is a civil engineer. Although he has been trained in civil engineering thinking, he still has the Confucian scholar-official expectations of practicing in a harmonious society. However, after more than ten years of employment, he gradually realized that it was an empty dream. In addition to his father’s early death, the doubts about fate and life blessings, and how destiny arranges them gradually became the melancholy on his face that he could not hide. “Who can really spread the great way and resolve life’s doubts?”

In 2003, because of his mother, Zhida began to read Zhuan Falun and embarked on the path of cultivation. From then on, he understood that all human actions have historical records of accumulating virtues and creating karma, and the cycle of cause and effect. He no longer worried about the direction of society, and his mood gradually became cheerful.

After practicing for years, Zhida increasingly understood the seriousness of cultivation. He believed that “the level of cultivation corresponds not only to the human side but also to the fate of the microscopic lives at the layers where life comes from.” He paid more attention to his own cultivation.

Understanding the meaning of life and achieving peace of mind and body

Jingxian is grateful that she has obtained Dafa and wishes Master Li a Happy New Year

Jingxian from Changhua has been practicing Falun Gong for 20 years. She is grateful that she has obtained Dafa, which has helped her understand the purpose of life and made her see things more clearly, thus achieving peace of mind and body.

Jingxian said she has been looking for the meaning of life since childhood, and she has pursued it in different ways. In 2004, she had the opportunity to find the book Zhuan Falun. After reading, she exclaimed, “Ah, this book is clear and concise, and this is what I really was looking for.”

“After practicing Falun Gong, when I face everything in my daily life, I have a ruler in my heart to measure everything I do. This ruler is Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” She said, “Master taught us to be a good person, to put others before ourselves, and to think of others.” So she worked hard to do it in this direction.

The efforts of practicing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in life have earned Jingxian high praise and trust from her boss. She has worked as a general affairs officer in a medical clinic for nearly 40 years. She manages the clinic’s affairs very well, and her boss trusted her very much. Her boss said to her, “How come you are such a good person, so kind, and don’t bother others?” She replied, “It's because I practice Falun Gong.”
