做一个实修的小弟子 (AM 8th sharing)
Z S
尊敬的师父好！
各位同修好！
我叫張爍，今年十一岁，是墨尔本大法小弟子。我从小跟着爸爸妈妈修炼。我今天交流的题目是”做一个实修的小弟子”。想和大家分享我在学校遇到的两件事，以及从中得到的体会。
第一部分、在矛盾中向内找
今年第二学期，老师A播放新闻。我觉得新闻中那位政治人物做的事很好，就说：“厉害！”
老师A马上暂停视频，说：“你不要说他好，他是一个坏人。”
我向老师A解释，老师A却说了那个人许多坏话，还想让我接受他的想法。我说：“你有你的想法，我有我的想法。”
老师A有些不高兴，还有四个同学也看着我，好像我做错了什么。我觉得老师A不关心我的想法，只是在指责我，还想改变我的想法，越想越生气。
后来学法时，我读到师父在《洪吟三》〈谁是谁非〉中的开示：
修炼人
自找过
各种人心去的多
大关小关别想落
对的是他
错的是我
争什么
我明白了，不能只看别人哪里不对，要先找自己。我当时急着证明自己对，却忘了修忍。老师A和我的想法不同，这也是让我提高的机会。以后我要先平静下来，耐心表达；别人暂时不接受，也要理解、宽容，不争输赢，真正做到忍。
第二部分、带着耐心和真诚讲真相
后来，我跟老师B讲真相时，努力带着忍耐的心。
第二学期开学时，我告诉老师B，我假期看了神韵。她说自己也看过，觉得很棒。可后来，她受到一些不好信息的影响，对大法和神韵产生了疑问，交流时也有些排斥。
我向她推荐纪录片《坚不可摧》，把YouTube观看链接用邮件发给她。最开始的两三个星期，她觉得影片太长，也有戒备心理，不太想看。
我想来想去，觉得还是要让老师B有机会了解真相。于是，我又真诚地提醒了两次。老师终于认真看完了影片。
再次交流时，她很感动，说自己明白了真实情况，了解到大法弟子和神韵艺术团面对很大的威胁和压力，仍坚持传播真相。
我以前告诉过她，自己正在学双簧管，将来想去美国报考神韵。明白真相后，她贴心地提醒我，路上一定要注意安全。
这件事让我体会到，讲真相不能因为别人一开始不愿意听，就马上放弃。我们要有耐心，真诚地为别人着想，也要给对方时间。
以后，我要多向内找，讲真相时多一些耐心和宽容，努力做一个实修的大法小弟子。
谢谢师父！
谢谢同修！
Becoming a Young Disciple Who Cultivates Solidly
Z S
Greetings, Revered Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!
My name is Zhang Shuo. I am 11 years old and a young Dafa disciple in Melbourne. I have been cultivating with my mum and dad since I was little. The title of my sharing today is “Becoming a Young Disciple Who Cultivates Solidly.” I would like to share two experiences I had at school and what I learnt from them.
Part 1: Looking Within When Conflicts Arise
In the second term this year, one of my teachers showed us a news video. I thought the actions of the political figure in the video were good, so I said, “That’s impressive!”
The teacher immediately paused the video and said, “Don’t say anything good about him. He’s a bad person.”
I tried to explain my point of view, but the teacher said many negative things about that person and wanted me to accept her opinion. I replied, “You have your opinion, and I have mine.”
The teacher seemed unhappy, and 4 other students looked at me as if I had done something wrong. I felt that the teacher didn’t care about what I thought and was just criticising me and trying to change my mind. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
Later, while studying the Fa, I read Master’s poem “Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong” in Hong Yin III:
As a cultivator
One always looks for one’s own faults
‘Tis the Way to get rid of attachments most effectively
There’s no way to skip ordeals, big or small
[During a conflict, if you can remember:]
“He’s right
And I’m wrong,”
What’s to dispute?
I realised that I shouldn’t just focus on what others had done wrong. I should look at myself first. At the time, I was eager to prove that I was right, but I had forgotten to practise forbearance. The teacher and I had different opinions, and this was also an opportunity for me to improve. In future, I should first calm down and express myself patiently. Even if others don’t accept my views straight away, I should try to understand them and be tolerant, rather than arguing over who is right or wrong. I need to truly practise forbearance.
Part 2: Clarifying the Truth with Patience and Sincerity
Later, when I clarified the truth to another teacher, I made an effort to be patient.
At the beginning of the second term, I told this teacher that I had watched Shen Yun during the school holidays. She said she had seen it too and thought it was wonderful. However, she was later influenced by some negative information and began to have doubts about Dafa and Shen Yun. She also seemed less open to discussing them.
I recommended the documentary Unbroken to her and emailed her the YouTube link. For the first two or three weeks, she thought the documentary was too long and was still somewhat guarded, so she wasn’t very keen to watch it.
After thinking it over, I felt that I should still give this teacher an opportunity to learn the truth. So I kindly reminded her about it twice more. Eventually, she watched the entire documentary carefully.
When we spoke again, she was very moved. She said she now understood the real situation and had learnt that Dafa disciples and the Shen Yun Performing Arts continued to spread the truth despite facing serious threats and pressure.
I had previously told her that I was learning the oboe and hoped to audition for Shen Yun in the United States one day. After learning the truth, she thoughtfully reminded me to be careful and stay safe when travelling.
This experience helped me realise that when clarifying the truth, I shouldn’t give up just because someone isn’t willing to listen at first. I need to be patient, genuinely think about what’s best for others and give them time.
In future, I will look within more often and be more patient and tolerant when clarifying the truth. I will do my best to be a young Dafa disciple who cultivates solidly.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
