(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Poland held events in Warsaw on May 9, 2021, to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day, May 13, and to wish Falun Dafa's founder Mr. Li Hongzhi, a happy 70th birthday.
They began the day by sitting quietly in front of the Chinese Embassy in Warsaw to protest the 22-year-long Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa. Passersby read their display boards and chatted with practitioners to learn more about Falun Dafa and the persecution. Many of them gave practitioners a thumbs up and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

Ms. Minh said, “No words can express my gratitude to Master!”
Ms. Minh a practitioner from Vietnam, had a severe degenerative knee condition before she practiced Falun Dafa. She was in severe pain every day and it seriously affected her life. She tried many treatments and medications, but none of them worked. She fell into a state of despair and became addicted to drinking and smoking.
While she waited for surgery to replace her knee, Minh heard about Falun Dafa. Soon after she began practicing the pain disappeared, and she could walk properly.
However, Minh was not able to conduct herself by Dafa’s principles completely at that time. She still drank and smoked and did not let go of her attachments. A year later, the pain in her knee returned. This time it took Minh four months to overcome the disease. From this experience, she understood that she had to conduct herself according to Falun Dafa’s principles. Minh decided to practice Dafa sincerely. She quit smoking and drinking. She looked inward and did her best to let go of her attachments.
The pain in Minh’s legs never returned, and her complexion became better and better, and she looks much younger than her age. She said, “No words can express my gratitude to Master. I hope that more people will learn about Falun Dafa and benefit from it. Falun Dafa is good!”
Mrs. Kim from Vietnam, stood during the event for several hours. She is 78 years old. People tell her it’s hard to believe that she is in her late 70s and ask what her secret is. She always recommends Falun Dafa to them. Her sister, daughter, and granddaughter all started practicing after witnessing the amazing changes in Mrs. Kim.
Mrs. Kim shared a story of how people mistake her age. Mrs. Kim qualifies to ride the bus for free because she is over 70 years old. However, once a ticket inspector did not believe she was over 70. Kim showed him her ID. The ticket inspector said he never saw such a “young 78 year old person.” Kim smiled and handed him a Falun Dafa leaflet and told him about Dafa. The ticket inspector accepted the leaflet with many thanks.
Ms. Magda, a Polish practitioner, started practicing Falun Dafa in 2018. Because Falun Dafa has benefited her physically and spiritually, she tells everyone she knows about Dafa and hopes more people can benefit from it.
Ms. Magda said, “I came here today to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. I hope that people can find the real solution during this pandemic. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have found Dafa in this lifetime. Thank you, Master!”
