Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

Feb. 11, 2025 | By a Minghui correspondent in Canada
Every week, Binette and several long-time friends get together for a meal. He was asked, “You are the oldest among us, yet you have more energy than any of us, your health is better as well, what’s you secret?” He replied, “The secret is Falun Dafa.”
(Minghui.org)Falun Dafa’s main book ZhuanFalun was first published in January 1995. Thirty years later, this book has been translated into 50 languages and is read by millions of people worldwide. What is it about this book that struck a chord with people from different ethnic groups and backgrounds? Several Falun Dafa practitioners in Quebec, Canada share their stories.
94-Year-Old Reads ZhuanFalun Every Day
94-year-old Henri-Paul Binette and his granddaughter took part in activities to promote Falun Dafa at the peace festival in Victoriaville, Quebec.
Henri-Paul Binette lives in Plessisville, Quebec. He’s 94 and loves to read ZhuanFalun. He said practicing Falun Dafa is the secret to keeping energetic at his age.
Binette read ZhuanFalun for the first time about 7 years ago. His family was poor and he had to quit school at an early age to work to help support the family. To understand the meaning of ZhuanFalun, he reads every sentence in the book twice. It took him several months to read it the first time, and he told his family, “This is an excellent book.”
His first impression of ZhuanFalun was, “This book guides one to be a good person.”
An incident that took place in the factory he once worked in bothered Binette for years. He disliked something a coworker did, so he scolded the person when he met him a few years later. After reading ZhuanFalun, he recalled the incident and realized he was wrong. He called the former coworker and apologized. The coworker accepted his apology and they got over the incident.
“This is what ZhuanFalun taught me.” Binette said. “This book explained what it means to be moral, how to treat others and not harm people.”
Binette was exhausted because he coughed constantly. This was followed by headaches, which were due to head injuries he sustained when he fell on ice. Doctors told him that there was no treatment for this ailment. After practicing Falun Dafa, Binette’s coughing and headaches nearly disappeared and his energy increased significantly.
“I feel energized when I read ZhuanFalun and do the exercises,” he said.
Every week, Binette and several long-time friends get together for a meal. He was asked, “You are the oldest among us, yet you have more energy than any of us, your health is better as well, what’s you secret?” He replied, “The secret is Falun Dafa.”
He reads ZhuanFalun with his granddaughter every night over the phone. He said he loves reading the book, it makes him feel at peace. His reading speed has increased too and his memory has improved.
This Book Helped Me Find Purpose in Life
Ruth Collins is an executive secretary in a company.
Ruth Collins is an executive secretary and began to practice Falun Dafa in autumn 2008. In the first two years, she thought the practice was just like Taichi or yoga, so she just did the exercises. She put ZhuanFalun down after reading two pages.
In 2011, while doing the exercises at a community center, a Falun Dafa practitioner played the video lectures on Falun Dafa. It was the first time Ruth saw them. When she saw the scene of Falun spinning in the universe, she was astounded. She realized the practice came from very high levels, and is profound. She began going to Chinatown every Sunday to do the five exercises with the other practitioners, and she reads Zhuan Falun aloud.
She discovered that the book is unlike other books. She had read several books on spiritual practices in the past, but always gave up because she couldn’t understand the content. However, ZhuanFalun explains the teachings in simple language. As she kept reading the book, she felt that she had found a spiritual teacher that could guide her to improve her character.
Ruth said in the past, it seems as if everything in her life was perfect on the surface. She often had a smile on her face and got along well with people, but she felt empty and that her life was meaningless. After she began reading ZhuanFalun, her outlook on life was positive, her mind was quieter, cleaner and Falun Dafa was firmly rooted in her heart. “For the past 10 years, the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance explained in ZhuanFalun guided me every day,” she said.
She hopes people can read this book, “It can help you better understand the meaning of life, overcome difficulties, elevate your spirituality and lead a more peaceful life.”
The Teachings in the Book Are Enlightening
Ms. Yang, a real estate agent, said she found Zhuan Falun enlightening.
Ms. Yang, who is a real estate agent, said one day in autumn 2005, she drove 3 or 4 hours in search of a Buddhist temple. That night, when she told a classmate at her university about it, her classmate suggested that she read the book on Falun Dafa. She had some doubts, “Didn’t the Chinese Communist Party say this is bad?” Her classmate said, “We’re educated and can judge right and wrong, why don’t you try reading it?”
Two days later, she went to the Falun Dafa website and started reading ZhuanFalun. She was instantly drawn to it and read the entire book that night. She had read qigong books before, but other books went around in circles and were unable to explain things clearly. ZhuanFalun was different, however. It explains things clearly using simple words.
Ms. Yang said, “Before I practiced Falun Dafa, I was focused on gains and losses and often felt unhappy. After I began reading ZhuanFalun, I understood why people encounter misfortunes, illnesses, why our health does not improve despite practicing, all these are explained clearly in the book.”
She continued, “Things are different when we act according to Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. This book helped me physically and mentally because I learned to be considerate, there are less conflicts in life. I became more peaceful and happier, my health improved—they go hand in hand. It’s just like the book said: ‘when you take a step back, the world is better.’”
Ms. Yang hasn’t taken any injection or pills for over two decades. She seldom has a cold. She used to rely on massage and corrective treatments to treat back pains from giving birth. It was extremely painful. After practicing Falun Dafa, she never had to go to the hospital. While doing the meditation exercise, she felt her spine and pelvis were gently adjusted, and the feeling was extraordinary.
“This is a precious book. When you read it with a quiet mind, you will gain something. I feel fortunate to listen to my friend’s suggestion and that I read ZhuanFalun. As long as you read it without any pursuit, words cannot describe the benefits you get from it,” she said.
Articles in which cultivators share their understandings typically reflect an individual’s perception at a point in time based on their cultivation state, and they are offered in the spirit of enabling mutual elevation.

WATCH Witness the Miracle of Falun Dafa (with English Subtitles)
Sept. 13, 2024 | By Minghui correspondents in Canada
After reading the entire book, she experienced a dramatic change—she no longer felt depressed and her chronic pain disappeared. She said, “I often complained and was jealous of other people’s happiness. After reading Zhuan Falun, I no longer felt depressed because I understood why we are here and that virtue and karma exist. I understood why I experienced difficulties and that I had to take responsibility for my own life. I found hope and learned that I must do good deeds to maintain my virtue and patiently repay my karma.”
(Minghui.org)Falun Dafa practitioners in Toronto did the exercises at Queens Park on September 8, 2024, and wished Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival (September 17, 2024). They are grateful to Master for teaching them Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong), and for all the blessings they received.
Falun Dafa practitioners wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Getting to Know Dafa in Front of the Chinese Consulate
Lixin Liu started practicing Dafa ten years ago.
Ms. Liu’s father was a member of the Chinese Expeditionary Force during World War II. He was beaten to death during the Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s. She and her husband were fired from their jobs because they had more children than was allowed in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) one-child family planning policy. Two houses her family-owned were demolished.
She petitioned but did not receive compensation. Instead, she was arrested many times, and her husband was killed. The police claimed that she killed her husband and wanted to arrest her and put her in jail. She worked hard to prove her innocence and was not arrested.
Ms. Liu immigrated to Canada in 2013 and held a banner in front of the Chinese Consulate every day to protest the demolition of her home. Falun Dafa practitioners were also there, protesting the CCP’s persecution. Ms. Liu chatted with them and learned about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa. She asked for a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. After she read it, she said, “Falun Dafa is so good!”
Ms. Liu said when she went to Hong Kong, she saw practitioners’ march and the information about the CCP’s forced organ harvesting from living practitioners for profit. She always knew the CCP was bad, but live organ harvesting was shocking, so she immediately quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
She took photos of the march and practitioners’ activities in Hong Kong and showed them to her relatives, friends, and neighbors in China, and persuaded them to quit the CCP. More than 20 people quit the Party with their real names, including judges, lawyers, family members of veterans, and factory workers.
When Ms. Liu told a presiding judge how the CCP harvests organs from living practitioners he resigned from his position as a judge and became an administrative officer. He said that under the CCP’s rule, judges do not judge cases according to the law, but according to the wishes of CCP officials.
Ms. Liu explained, “I was very emotional about the forced demolition in China before I began practicing Falun Dafa. I desperately sought compensation even though I no longer lived in China. After I moved to Canada my relatives urged me to continue fighting for compensation, but I said no, I don’t want it. Master taught me that what is mine won’t be lost, and I shouldn’t want what isn’t mine. I’m a practitioner now. Although I don’t approve of the CCP’s crimes, I can let go of this huge pain.”
She thanked Master for helping her let go of her hatred and become peaceful. She said, “When I tell people my story I just want to help them recognize the true nature of the CCP. Although I still protested in front of the Chinese Consulate, my heart changed from selfish to righteous. My only hope is that people learn about Falun Dafa.”
Overcoming Depression
Chris appreciates Master.
Chris was extremely depressed in 2002 when he was in his 20s, and took drugs to numb the pain in his heart. He saw practitioners doing the exercises outdoors one day and was intrigued. He began reading Zhuan Falun.
He was convinced by the principles in the book and felt that he was destined to follow the spiritual practice and carried Zhuan Falun with him. However, when the urge to take drugs surfaced, he couldn’t concentrate when he read the book. He said, “The ideas taught in ZhuanFalun about emphasizing morality and self-improvement are what I wanted. But I felt I did too many bad things so I wasn’t qualified to practice.”
More than a decade later, Chris was still trapped in the quagmire of autism. He gradually lost the ability to communicate with others and stopped communicating with his parents. He said, “A way of thinking full of negativity and hatred trapped me in a painful and desperate situation. However, I still occasionally read Zhuan Falun, and I never forgot Falun Dafa.”
In 2015, Chris’s life took a positive turn. He was offered a high-paying job, but the company required employees to take drug tests, so he decided to stop taking drugs. Chris often went on business trips to isolated places, so he had a more peaceful state of mind and was able to read the Fa and practice the exercises.
Chris’s personality changed through regularly studying the Fa and doing the exercises. He went from being unable to communicate to being able to talk easily. He said, “I became confident. I understand that the meaning of life is not only to seek happiness, but it’s about being a good person. I no longer indulge in the pain in life but focus on being a good person according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. In the past, I couldn’t handle complex interpersonal relationships, and I was too concerned about my own feelings. I was always full of hatred and complained that life was too hard and others were bad. After I began practicing, I gradually learned to let go of these feelings and emotions—it felt as if heavy shackles were removed. My dissatisfaction with the past was suddenly gone.”
Chris wanted to express his gratitude during the Mid-Autumn Festival, “I’ve given up on myself countless times, but Master never gave up on me. At a certain moment, I felt I could do it, I could take on this responsibility and move forward. At that time, my wife came into my life—I felt as though Master was saying, ‘You are ready, you can have this relationship, support each other, and improve together.’”
The Best Gift
Michael wishes Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Michael Cui graduated from a renowned university, is a computer engineer, and has three daughters. In 1998, the school dean traveled to Toronto on a business trip and later gave Michael a copy of Zhuan Falun.
Michael began to read it and felt the profoundness of the practice and was deeply attracted by the content of the book. The next day after work, Mike couldn’t wait to continue reading the book.
After he began practicing Falun Dafa, Michael said he felt an inner joy beyond words. He said, “From the first night I came into contact with Dafa, I felt that Master gave me the best gift in my life. This is something that all the money, status, and abilities in the world cannot buy.”
Michael’s three daughters.
Michael’s three daughters also benefited from practicing Dafa, and they are artists with the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company. Before his oldest daughter joined Shen Yun, she was unruly and loved to play with her phone. She is now a flute soloist. As more capable performers joined the company, she became an accompanist. She felt uneasy at first. But she reminded herself that she’s a practitioner and she shouldn’t be jealous. She humbly learned from the other members of the company. After her skills improved, she returned to the solo position.
His second daughter had a severe allergic reaction after she ate some biscuits: her skin changed color and she had difficulty breathing. In the emergency room, she repeatedly said, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and her breathing returned to normal.
His third daughter was always restless and had difficulty focusing. When she came home from Shen Yun, she was focused and serious. She even cleaned the refrigerator and made breakfast for the family every day. Seeing his daughters become mature and independent in cultivation, Michael said, “As a father, I feel happy and proud to see them cultivate well.”
Practicing Dafa Changed Her Life
Elnaz
Elnaz from Iran moved to Turkey. As a teenager, she had romantic dreams about friends and love. However, after experiencing disillusionment, she became depressed and gave up on life. She dropped out of college and stayed in her room all day.
Elnaz was 26 years old in 2013 when she traveled to Istanbul. She met an old friend who told her about Falun Dafa. She decided to go to the beach and read Zhuan Falun on her phone but lost her phone on the way there. So she went to an Internet cafe and printed out the entire book.
Elnaz wept because she lost her cell phone. After reading the first lecture in Zhuan Falun, she stopped crying. After reading the entire book, she experienced a dramatic change—she no longer felt depressed and her chronic pain disappeared. She said, “I often complained and was jealous of other people’s happiness. After reading Zhuan Falun, I no longer felt depressed because I understood why we are here and that virtue and karma exist. I understood why I experienced difficulties and that I had to take responsibility for my own life. I found hope and learned that I must do good deeds to maintain my virtue and patiently repay my karma.”
In the past, Elnaz could not tolerate it if people failed to meet her expectations and she immediately cut off the relationship. She felt unloved and lonely. After she began practicing, she slowly learned to maintain a relationship and eventually got married.
She said, “Dafa taught me to be tolerant and care for others. When problems arise, my husband and I solve them together. I stopped arguing. I’m considerate, and correct my shortcomings.”
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Elnaz thanked Master for his teachings, which she said helped her wake up from her lost state. She is grateful for the miracles she experienced. She said, “In 2016, I experienced a terrorist attack in Ankara, Turkey. The bomb exploded two meters away from me. More than 30 people died and more than 100 were injured. With Master’s protection, I miraculously survived. Thank you, Master!”
