一道亮麗的風景線
-
悉尼唐人街既是人來人往的商業區也是著名的旅遊點，那裏不僅有大量的當地華人和中國游客，更有對中國文化感興趣的西方人。自從99年邪惡迫害大法以來，這裏就成了揭露邪惡，救度眾生的重要場所。8年來，弟子們一批批的在這裏向人民講著真相。特別是2004年底『九評共產黨』這部奇書問世後，「天滅中共」勢在必行。為了更好地促「三退」，讓眾生得救，於是我們開辦「退黨服務中心」的攤位。下面，我代表唐人街「退黨服務中心」的同修發言，有不妥的地方，懇請大家慈悲指正。
剛開始的時候遇到的困難是很大的。首先是周圍店鋪的老闆和員工的不理解和阻撓，他們以為我們在「爭奪」或者「嚇跑」他們的顧客，甚至認為我們是受雇於某些人，拿著工錢幹的。於是我們不僅耐心地向他們講述什麼是「法輪功」以及國內受迫害的情況等。更重要是我們用行動讓他們感受到大法好，每次開檔我們都將他們店前打掃乾淨，有問題善意溝通改正，處處考慮他們的方便，當一些游客向我們打聽哪家店鋪買東西好時，我們都儘量地推薦附近的店家。弟子的行為就是真相，經過這些年的觀察和體驗，他們逐漸瞭解了我們。去年GALA，店老闆還買了最貴的票去看，現在當他們發現有些顧客忘記帶走真相資料時，主動地交給我們，還說：「我們知道這些都是你們用自己的錢印製的，不要浪費了！」
剛開始擺出「退黨服務中心」招牌時，來往的行人都用奇異地眼光看我們，譏笑、辱罵、當面把資料撕碎的什麼都有。弟子的慈悲是眾生得救的唯一希望。面對這種情況，弟子們穩住心態，認真發著正念，不被人心帶動，在師尊的加持下，大家互相鼓勵，使得「退黨中心」周圍的環境不斷的改善，人心不斷地變好。現在經常會看到有人主動在退黨本上籤名三退。
隨著大批中國游客的日益增多。「退黨服務中心」攤位的開放從原來的周未兩天改為每周七天。堅守在這裏的同修，每天下班後，顧不得喫飯就往這裏趕，學法、煉功都要晚上收檔後擠時間。有時學法跟不上，真的感覺很苦，心性不提高，救度眾生效果也不好，同修之間磨擦也大。學好法是堅持在第一線講真相的學員的根本，平衡好方方面面就是在建立弟子的威德。
「退黨中心」攤位在唐人街站住了腳，引起了中共的恐慌。為了掩蓋他們的惡行暴光，他們經常唆使和收買一些流氓痞子來搗亂。有一次一個男人，後面跟著一對夫婦，這些人在喝足喫飽之後，就來到攤位前指手劃腳，破口大罵，髒話不堪入耳。我們發著正念，平靜地向他講述真相。但他不但不聽，反而更加變本加厲。當他第四次來唐人街故伎重演時，明白真相的保安人員報了警，站在後面的那對夫婦中的女人見狀不好，趕緊對她身邊的男人說：「搞他們不到，叫他走吧！」
「退黨中心」每天的資料發放，包括小冊子，VCD和DVD等等，都相當可觀。邪惡是在用錢在做，而法輪功學員是在用心在做，講真相，做材料，都是從自己的工資中，收入中，甚至很多時候是節衣縮食節省下來的。雖然我們手頭都很拮据，但為了讓世入能更好他得聞真相，辯別是非，我們始終堅定購買優質光盤，以便保證刻錄出來的光盤圖像和音質清晰悅耳。同時，為了印刷好《九評共產黨》、《解體黨文化》中英文冊子，我們想盡了辦法。有些人將給兒子買衣服的錢拿出來，有人甚至將還房屋貸款的錢墊出來，我們的周圍有這麼多的同修們無私地默默奉獻著自己的一切。
除了資料的發送外，橫幅，展板和電視機等也起著很重要的作用。那些成團成隊的旅行團游客，由於事先受到恐嚇，不敢拿光盤等資料，但是他們會用眼晴看高高張掛著的「法輪大法好」、「天滅中共」、「退出邪黨保平安」等等，他們甚至念出聲音來。因此我們一直保持著橫幅、展板的整齊劃一，醒目莊嚴。就連位置擺放的次序及顏色搭配，都花費一番心血。有一次，一個年輕人用手機通話，對方詢問其位置，他不說在哪家店的門口，競信口說：「我在『天滅中共』旁邊！」這說明我們「退黨中心」的標幟，巳經成為了唐人街的一道亮麗的風景線，不但是常人瞭解「法輪功」的一個真正的窗口，而且還成為了中國大陸同修和各國同修互相交流和切磋提高的一個聯絡點和資料點。
回顧這幾年在唐人街的風風雨雨，我們感慨萬千。正如師尊在2007年4月7日紐約法會上所講的：「大法弟子今天所做的一切，不管你是參與了什麼項目，還是你自己走上街頭去講真相，發資料，還是坐在領館前揭露邪惡，你都是在修煉自己，證實法，同時在救世人。這就是大法弟子所做的。看似平凡，都是偉大，都是了不起，因為人類的各行各業，各個環境就是你們的修煉場。」每當遇到各種矛盾，各種困難和干擾時，我們首先想到的是找自己的不足，堅定對大法的信念，正念正行，相互協調，相互配合，結果真是「柳暗花明又一村！」
最後，願我們都在神的路上更加勇猛精進！
謝謝！

Sydney’s Chinatown is a crowded business district and a popular tourist site. Not only are there many local Chinese and tourists from Mainland China, but there are also many Australians who are interested in Chinese culture. Since 1999 when the evil began persecuting Falun Gong, it has become an important place to expose the evil and save sentient beings. For eight years, group after group of Dafa disciples have clarified the truth to people here. Since the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in 2004, “heaven will eliminate the CCP”, so to better promote “withdrawing from the CCP” and help save more sentient beings, we established a Quit CCP Centre. Next I will talk about the Quit CCP Centre on behalf of those practitioners involved. Kindly correct me if there is anything improper.
The difficulties we encountered when we first began were enormous. Firstly we had
to deal with the shop managers and staff who didn’t understand and tried to obstruct
us. They thought we were stealing their customers or scaring them away. They even
thought we were “employing” certain people and were being paid wages. So we patiently
told them about Falun Gong, we also told them about the persecution in China. More
importantly our actions allowed them to know that Dafa is good. Each time business
opened, we would tidy up the front of their shops. If there were problems, we would
communicate and correct them with compassion. In every aspect, we considered what
was convenient for them first. Whenever tourists asked us which shops were good,
we would try our best to recommend the shops around us. Dafa disciples’ behaviour
is the truth. Over these years of observation and experience, they gradually came
to understand us. During last year’s NTDTV New Year Spectacular, one shop manager
bought the most expensive tickets. Now when they discover that customers have forgotten
to take truth-
When we first put out the Quit CCP Centre advertisement, passers-
As the number of Mainland Chinese tourists increase by the day, the Quit CCP Centre has gone from operating two days a week to seven days a week. Those practitioners who have persisted here have come every day after work. They hurry to get here and don’t even have dinner. They still have to fit Fa study and practice into their day after they pack up the Quit CCP site. Sometimes they can’t keep up with Fa study and truly feel remorseful. Their xinxing doesn’t improve and the results of trying to save sentient beings aren’t good. The conflicts between practitioners become huge. Good Fa study is the foundation for a practitioner who perseveres in the front line of clarifying the truth. Balancing every aspect in life well is establishing a disciple’s mighty virtue.
While the Quit CCP Centre has got a foothold in Chinatown, it has aroused panic in the CCP. In order to hide their evil actions for fear of exposure, they arrange gangsters who they bribe to create disturbances. Once there was a man, with him was a couple. After these people had eaten, they came to our site and made offensive gestures, shouting abuse, yelling, and making offensive remarks. We sent righteous thoughts and calmly explained the facts to them. They didn’t listen, rather their behaviour became even worse. The fourth time they came to Chinatown and repeated the same episode, the security guard who understood the truth called the police. The wife of the couple saw that the situation wasn’t turning out, and quickly said to her partner: Looks like we can’t disturb them. Let’s go!”
Each day the distribution of “Quit CCP Centre” materials such as books, VCD and DVD was considerable. The evil uses money to do things. But Falun Gong practitioners do things with their hearts. Clarifying the facts. Making materials. It all comes from our own wages and income. Many times the financial resources come from practitioner’s money saved from living simply and frugally. Although we do not have many resources, to allow the world’s people to better understand the truth and make correct distinction between right from wrong, we developed high quality CDs. This guaranteed that the quality of the CD videos and sound was clear and pleasing to the ear. At the same time, in order to print the Nine Commentaries and “Disintegrate the Party Culture” in both English and Chinese, we thought of ideas. Some people forked out their money that was given to them to buy children’s clothing. Some even gave their money set aside for paying off their home loans. There are so many practitioners around us who quietly contribute everything of their own.
Distributing flyers, putting up banners and poster boards and showing videos all
play a really important role. Due to threats by the CCP, the tourists don’t dare
to take CDs or other materials. But they do look at the highly hung banners reading
“Falun Dafa is Good”, “Heaven Eliminates the CCP” and “Quit the CCP to Guarantee
Peace” and so forth. It is as though their thoughts are speaking. So because of this,
we have always kept our banners and poster boards in a tidy, consistent state, so
that they are solemn and striking. We put painstaking effort into the order and placement
of color co-
Looking back on the last couple of years of battling through wind and rain in Chinatown,
we are filled with emotion. It is truly like what Master said in the New York Fa
conference on April 4, 2007: "in doing everything that Dafa disciples are doing today-
Lastly, I hope that we can be even more diligent on our path to Godhood.
Thank you everyone
