珍惜修炼环境，走正修炼的路 (AM 11th sharing)

尊敬的师父好！
各位同修好！
我叫R Z，今年十三岁，是悉尼大法小弟子。我交流的题目是“珍惜修炼环境，走正修炼的路”。
今天，我想和大家分享自己过去离开明慧学校后的一些变化，和重新回到修炼环境后的体会。若有不当之处，请同修慈悲指正！
我从小跟随父母修炼。我四岁的时候就开始去明慧学校。那时的我每天都盼望着星期天快点到来，因为这样就可以去明慧学校和大家一起炼功、学法和学习传统文化，还可以在课间和小伙伴们一起玩。我觉得那时的我非常快乐！
小时候，我也很愿意跟着爸爸妈妈去洪法，参加各种大法活动。我特别喜欢给有缘人发真相资料和小莲花，一直觉得和大家一起救人是一件很开心的事。
八岁那年，我开始学习长笛。为了有更多时间练习，我就不去明慧学校了。
有一次，我送了小莲花给两个最好的朋友。没想到，第二天我去找她们玩时，她们却跑开了。她们还告诉我，她们的妈妈说不能和我玩，说我们不好，并把小莲花扔掉了。
我很难过，回家后把这件事告诉了妈妈。妈妈安慰我说，她们是因为听信了谎言，还不了解大法的真相，才会这样对我，叫我不要伤心。
虽然妈妈这样安慰我，我心里还是害怕交不到朋友。从那以后，我就慢慢发生了变化。我开始不愿意学法、炼功和发正念，也不愿意参加大法活动。每当爸爸妈妈提醒我学法或炼功时，我觉得非常烦躁，不想听他们的话，脾气也越来越不好。
离开明慧学校后，我没有继续学习中文，中文水平也越来越差。有时跟着父母学法，我发现很多字我都不认识了。我甚至还迷上了玩小游戏，还经常趁着写作业的时候偷偷玩游戏，不能认真完成作业。我慢慢把自己的心放在了日常生活中，离学法、炼功和参与大法活动也越来越远。
直到今年，姐姐决定回到明慧学校做助教，妈妈问我愿不愿意也回去。一开始，我并不愿意。在妈妈的劝说下，我认真想了想，最后决定回到明慧学校。
重新回到明慧学校后，跟着大家学法一段时间以后，我发现自己在学法方面有了很大的改变。我又愿意和爸爸妈妈在家一起学法了，读法的速度也能跟上他们了。
以前，因为学习时经常需要使用电脑，我的脖子会不舒服、很疼。妈妈叫我去炼功，我也不愿意。回到明慧学校后，我跟着大家每周日早上去公园炼功，几周后，我发现脖子没有那么不舒服了。
我还加入了明慧小乐队，和小伙伴们一起去社区洪法。重新参与这些活动，让我又找回了小时候那种快乐的感觉。
我也开始反思：如果我不愿意和大家一起洪法，会有更多的人像我的朋友一样因为不了解大法真相而误解大法。我不应该因为害怕交不到朋友，就离开修炼的环境。
我还发现，自己以前很喜欢的游戏，其实并没有那么好玩，反而让我分心，连作业都不能认真完成。现在，我不再趁写作业时偷偷玩游戏了。
谢谢师父救了我们一家人！虽然我还是有很多地方没有做好，但我要努力！我在明慧学校和小伙伴一起背了《洪吟四》中的一首诗《实现我的梦想》，我想以这首诗来结束我今天的交流。
我有一个梦想
总有一天我要回到天上
那是生命真正的故乡
因为创世主已来世
传大法救世人回天堂
我不想错过机缘
我要实现这梦想
这是人的唯一希望
谢谢师父！
谢谢同修！
Cherishing the cultivation environment and staying on the righteous path of cultivation
R Z
Greetings, Revered Master!
Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I am a 13-year-old young Dafa disciple who has been cultivating alongside my parents since I was little. Today, I would like to share some of the changes I experienced after leaving Minghui School, as well as my reflections after returning to a cultivation environment. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate in my sharing.
I started attending Minghui School when I was four years old. Back then,every single day I looked forward to Sundays, because that meant I could go to Minghui School and practise the exercises, study the Fa, and learn traditional Chinese culture with everyone. During breaks, I could also play with my friends. I felt very happy during those days!
When I was little, I was also very willing to accompany my parents to clarify the truth and participate in various Dafa activities. I especially enjoyed giving truth-clarification materials and little lotus flowers to people with a predestined connection to Dafa. I always felt that saving people together with everyone was a joyful thing to do.
When I was eight, I started learning the flute. In order to have more time to practise, I stopped attending Minghui School.
Once, I gave little lotus flowers to my two best friends. To my surprise, when I went to see them the next day, they ran away from me. They also told me that their mothers had said they were not allowed to play with me because we were bad people, and that they had thrown away the little lotus flowers.
I felt very upset. When I got home, I told my mother what had happened. She comforted me and explained that my friends had treated me that way because they had believed the lies and did not yet understand the truth about Dafa. She told me not to be sad.
Although my mother comforted me, I was still afraid that I would not be able to make friends. From then on, I gradually began to change. I became reluctant to study the Fa, practise the exercises, send righteous thoughts, or participate in Dafa activities. Whenever my parents reminded me to study the Fa and practise the exercises, I felt very irritated and did not want to listen to them. My temper also became increasingly worse.
After leaving Minghui School, I stopped learning Chinese, and my Chinese language skills gradually deteriorated. Sometimes, when I studied the Fa with my parents, I realised that there were many characters I could no longer recognise. I even became addicted to playing video games and often secretly played them while I was supposed to be doing my homework, which made it difficult for me to concentrate and complete my homework properly.
Gradually, I began focusing more and more on my everyday life, drifting further and further away from Fa study, practising the exercises, and participating in Dafa activities.
It was not until this year, when my older sister decided to return to Minghui School as a teaching assistant, that my mother asked me whether I would like to return as well. At first, I was reluctant. However, after my mother encouraged me to give it some thought, I carefully considered it and eventually decided to return to Minghui School.
After returning to Minghui School and studying the Fa with everyone for a while, I noticed a big improvement in my Fa study. I became willing to study the Fa at home with my parents again, and I was able to keep up with their reading pace.
Previously, because I often had to use a computer for my studies, my neck was uncomfortable and hurt quite a lot. When my mother asked me to practise the exercises, I was unwilling to do so. After returning to Minghui School, I began going to the park every Sunday morning to do the exercises with everyone. After a few weeks, I noticed that my neck was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
I also joined the Minghui Children’s Band and went with my fellow young practitioners to clarify the truth in the local community. Taking part in these activities again helped me rediscover the same feeling of happiness I had experienced as a young child.
I also began to reflect on myself. If I was unwilling to clarify the truth with everyone, more people might misunderstand Dafa because they did not know the truth, just as my friends had. I should not have left the cultivation environment simply because I was afraid of not being able to make friends.
I also realised that the video games I used to be addicted to were actually not that much fun. Instead, they distracted me and prevented me from concentrating on my homework and completing it properly. Now, I no longer secretly play video games while I am supposed to be doing my homework.
Thank you, Master, for saving my entire family! Although there are still many areas in which I have not done well, I will work hard to improve! At Minghui School, I memorised a poem from Hong Yin IV together with my fellow young practitioners. The poem is titled My Dream Fulfilled. I would like to conclude my sharing today with this poem.
“My Dream Fulfilled
I have long had a dream
That one day I would return to Heaven
For that is a soul’s true home
The Creator has now arrived in the world
He brings us to Heaven with His Great Way of Dafa
I do not want to miss this chance
I wish to fulfill my dream
For this is a human being’s only hope”
Thank you Master!
Thank you fellow practitioners!
