正念破执着 正念救众生 Break attachments and save sentient beings

尊敬的师父,各位同修大家好!

我从1995年初在北京开始修炼法轮大法至今,全身心都得到了彻底的变化,我从内心深处体会到师父的慈悲呵护。作为正法时期的大法弟子,我深深地感到修好自己、做好“三件事”,才能真正助师正法、救度众生。下面是我来到澳洲的一点修炼体会。
Greetings to revered Master, hello fellow practitioners!
I started practising Falun Dafa since early 1995 in Beijing. I have had tremendous benefits from the practice which I know from my heart that it is Master who has been kindly looking after me. As a practitioner in Fa-rectification period, we can only do “three things” well in order to assist Master for Fa-rectification and save sentient beings. Below are some of my cultivation experiences to share with you all.

一、初到澳洲助师正法
1. Assist Master in Fa-Rectification after Landing in Australia
自99年7月中共在中国大规模非法迫害法轮功后,我曾经被迫离家出走一年、并被北京看守所非法关押八年。2010年4月出来后,我又被监视居住一年。之后,在澳洲的姐姐极力邀请和帮助下,我正念正行的要回身份证、办理了护照,于2012年8月飞抵悉尼。
Since the CCP initiated the illegal persecution on Falun Gong practitioners in July 1999, I was forced to leave home for a year, and then was illegally jailed for eight years at Beijing detention centre. After being released in April 2010, I was still under surveillance for another year. In August 2012, I arrived in Sydney following my righteous thoughts for obtaining my ID and passport, along the with help from my sister.

三天后当我站在街上和同修一起手举真相横幅,霎时泪如泉涌。那在中国狱中经历的8年非法迫害和精神折磨,加上流离失所、被监视居住和面临随时再被抓走的困苦生活已经结束,如今我能公开站在悉尼的大街上讲真相,内心感慨万千、无法言表。我非常感恩师尊对我修炼路的安排,我非常珍惜来到澳洲这个机缘,我决心一定要在澳洲的这片土地上,精進实修、揭露迫害、讲清真相、救度更多有缘人。
Three days after arriving in Sydney, I started holding banners with fellow practitioners in the street. My tears couldn’t help falling and I became emotional and speechless. After an arduous eight long years in the prison, plus being homeless and facing the terror of being taken away at any time, I could stand openly in the streets of Sydney to tell the public about the true story. I am grateful for Master’s arrangement and treasure the chance now I am in the free land of Australia. I will be more diligent to expose the evil persecution in order to save more sentient beings.

看到正法洪势突飞猛進,我感到自己落下很多,必须修去人心、紧跟正法進程。因此几乎每天早上我都在3点55分起床炼五套功法和学一讲法,发完正念就到景点劝“三退”。然后再做其他的助师正法的活动,从不懈怠。
Experiencing the rapid progress of the Fa-rectification, I felt far behind and realised that I must remove human notions and keep up with the pace. Therefore I get up at 3:55am almost every day to practise 5 sets of exercises and study one lecture of Fa, then go to tourist spots to do CCP withdrawal, or other activities tirelessly.

刚开始讲真相时,我张不开嘴,心里底气不足。经过多次反复看《九评共产党》,我真正看清了中共的邪恶本质,就知道怎么说我才能够真正讲清真相、救得了众生。同时,我加强了学法,在学法中,我看到了自己的不足,是自己救人的心还不够迫切。师父在《二零一二年美国首都国际法会讲法》中讲到:“千万不能忘了你们是一个修炼的人,你们有了修炼的这个基础才能去救人,有了修炼的这个基础、正念强了,才能救得了人,才能做了这件事情,所以不能忽视个人的修炼,到什么时候都是一样。”
In the beginning of truth clarification, I couldn’t even open my mouth due to lack of confidence. So I started reading the “Nine-Commentaries” repeatedly and saw through the real evil nature of CCP which helped me a lot on how to clarify the truth. In the meantime, I discovered that I was lacking a strong urge to save sentient beings so I intensified my Fa-study. In Master’s Fa in “2012 International Fa-conference at U.S Capital”: “Be sure not to forget that you are a cultivator. It is only because you have cultivation as your foundation that you can go and try to save people. Only with a foundation in cultivation and righteous thoughts that have grown strong will you succeed in saving people and complete your undertaking. So you must not neglect your own cultivation. This will always hold true.”

当我悟到这些后,再去景点讲真相,不管面对多少人,我一点怕心也没有了,心里特别坦然。
After enlightening from this Fa, I lost the fear of being in front of people and felt more at ease to clarify the truth to many people.
二、讲清真相不放弃
2. Never Give Up Truth-Clarification
去年我在景点遇到三个澳洲华人,当时我和一位同修正收拾东西准备离开,这时过来一位四十多岁的男士,我迎上前劝他做“三退”,可我话还没说完,他却马上转身离开,穿过马路走了。当时我想得救他呀,我没有放弃,就跟了过去。对面有个男的正在等他,知道我正在劝“三退”时就说:“噢,你是炼法轮功的,我研究你们法轮功已有五、六年了……我看你也没修多高。”
Last year I ran into three Australian Chinese at a tourist place. While I was packing up, a man in his forties came over so I explained the “three withdrawals” to him. However before I finished talking he suddenly turned and walked away. My only thought at that moment was to save him, I didn’t just quit so I followed up with that man. The other guy who was waiting for him then started saying to me: “So you practise Falun Gong, I have been observing it for 5 or 6 years now and can’t find you have practised to any high level.”

我心里明白他想刺激我,可我并没有动心。我耐心地对他说:“我修得高不高没什么,我今天找你们做‘三退’,是在救人,千万别落下。”
I knew he just wanted to irritate me, so I kindly responded: “It’s not important whether I am at a high level or not, but today you can’t miss out on this opportunity for me to explain the “Three Withdrawals” which is really going to save your life.”

随后对方又问:“给你多少钱,你们这么卖命?”我说:“没有人给钱。只要是拿钱的,绝不是大法弟子,请你记住:我们是在救人!”
Then this man spoke again: “ How much were you paid to work so hard for this?” I said: “No one pays us, anyone who gets paid to do this is bound to be non-Dafa practitioners. Please remember we are only trying to save people.”

说着说着旁边的第一位男士又搭话了,他问道:“你们法轮功成天说修善,你们做什么善事啦?”我回答他:“您说得真好!有善心的人、有信仰的人,才会说这话。”
At this time, the previous man started asking me: “You Falun Gong practitioners always say you do good things for others. What did you really do?” I replied: “Well said, only people who carry a kind-heart and faith will talk like this.”

那天我的正念特强,心里一点杂念都没有,我就问他:“你说什么是做善事呀?”他答道:“学校啊、教堂啊,现在澳洲人都这样做慈善,你们做什么啦?”我说:“我今天一见到你,就告诉你‘三退’保平安、躲劫难。‘三退’就是退出中共的‘党、团、队’,你举过拳头发过誓的誓言不吉利。共产党在历次运动中,使得8千万中国人死于非命。天灭中共,我想共产党要是倒台的话,你是它的一员就要受牵连。我说救人,救你这条生命算不算善?是不是慈悲?”
My mind was really righteous that day, without any distraction so I asked back: “What do you refer to as good deeds?” He said: “Schools, churches which nowadays most Australians do these kind of charitable things. What did you do?” I told him: “The first thing when we met I was telling you about “three withdrawals” which actually was to save you and help you stay out of disasters. Quitting CCP, Young League and Young Pioneer membership is to erase the evil vows you made that would bring you much misfortune. In the history of many CCP movements more than 80 million Chinese have died. The heaven will demolish CCP, and its members will suffer from it. I think this is saving people’s lives and can be regarded as good deeds, right?”

听到这儿,他突然一愣:“噢,你这么理解。”随后他们不再吱声了。他俩就说还要谈生意,赶紧走开了。我想他俩就这么走了,这不行,还没给他们退呢,我就乐呵呵的又跟了过去。
After my answer, this man seemed shocked and said: “Oh, this is how you understand it.” They stopped questioning me and made excuses to leave. I thought the purpose hasn’t been achieved, they haven’t quit anything yet, so I walked to the café where they went in.

他们在一家咖啡馆的外面坐了下来,看到我,他们惊讶地说:“哎,你又追过来啦?你这老太太待会儿给结账啊,请喝咖啡。”听他们一说,一看有四把椅子,我也坐了下来。还没等坐下,又有一位年纪轻一点的男士,走了过来,我一看正好三个人,我今天就帮他们一起退了吧。
They saw me in surprise and said: “You old lady are following us and wanting to buy us coffee.” There was another friend of theirs also joined them, so I took advantage of this moment and pulled over a chair and started to explain and make sure they quit CCP.
“三位先生,今天是你们的缘分,我不管你们是做什么的,今天遇到大法弟子,那真的是你们的福分,赶紧做出‘三退’,你们生命才会得救。”接着我就告诉他们为什么要“三退”,中共到底是什么?他们听明白了我的善意相劝,态度全都改变了,最后心服口服的说:“行,都给退了吧。”我给他们起了化名、都做了“三退”,包括两名退了党。
“Gentlemen, it’s our destiny that we met today, no matter what line of works you do, I really think it’s your blessing to meet a Dafa practitioner. Your life can only be saved by erasing your CCP membership.” Then I started the real story about the evil CCP and why Chinese have to withdraw from it. Afterward, they sensed my sincere heart message; they changed their attitude and agreed to withdraw their CCP using an alias.
旁边的小伙子说你北京人真厉害。我说:“不是北京人厉害,是大法弟子就这么正,真的是在救人呀!”
One young guy said: “You Beijing people have a good gift of the gab.” I said: “ It’s not that, it’s Dafa that is so upright and is truly saving people.”

三、佛法威严慈悲救人
3. The Majesty of Buddah-Fa Compassionately Saving Beings
还有一次,在歌剧院附近遇到一群大陆游客在照相,我来到一位手拿手机照相的男士身边,轻声地对他说:“先生,您照您的,不影响您,不知先生听说过‘三退’吗?就是退出中共‘党、团、队’。”这时,他突然转向我,用手机对我录像。
On another instance, I walked toward to a Chinese tourist who was taking photos of the Opera House. I spoke with a soft voice: “Dear sir, have you heard of “Three Withdrawals”?” He immediately turned around and started video-taping me with his smart phone.

我提醒他说:“请把手机关掉、不要照我”,并说:“我不知你现在出于什么心?你要是出于不好的心,会对你不好的。澳洲是讲法律的。”我讲这些话时没带任何怨恨心。正说着一个女士将他推走,并说:“他没照你。”男的也说:“我没照。”然后就走开了。
I requested him not to record me and told him, without any hate or anger, that it’s not good if he did it out of unkind motivation, and reminded him Australia is a law-abiding country. At this time, his female friend came and said he didn’t record me then dragged him away.

后来我回到真相横幅摊位前,看到那位男士也站那。我走过去对他说:“先生,您好,你是刚才照我相的那位吧?你们刚才玩得好吗?”话音未落,他也认出我来了并说:“你还说呢,刚才给你照完了,我的相机就坏了,后来一张照片也没有照上。”
Later after I returned to the stall, that man was also there. I said to him: “Aren’t you the gentleman who did recording of me? Did you have a good time with your friends?” He recognised me and said: “Speaking of that, my camera didn’t work, so I didn’t get any chance to take any photo.”

我笑着问他知道为什么相机会照不出像来吗?我说:“你看你不信也得信,有不好的心,做不好的事就是这样的结果。这个事情可能现世现报对你还是有好处的,你这人缘分还是很大的,退出来保平安、躲劫难,‘三退’真的能够保你平安的。”最后在我的耐心说服下,他终于退了。在讲真相过程中,我不仅让他明白了佛法是威严的,同时也是慈悲的。
I asked him kindly if he knows why. I said: “Looks like it’s time for you to believe that what goes around comes around. It’s actually good that you pay for wrong-doings instantly, which means you have good karmic-relations. You need to quit CCP to avoid catastrophes and stay safe, this is true that quitting CCP can save you.” In the end, he finally agreed to withdraw. During this process, I made him realise that the majesty of Buddah-Fa is serious while Fa is also compassionate.

我感到在修炼中,只有正念正行才能够救了人。作为一个大法弟子不辜负自己的使命,助师正法,救度众生是那么的殊荣和神圣。
I understand that only by carrying strong righteous thoughts in our cultivation are we able to truly save people. As a Dafa practitioner, we must fulfil our vows to assist Master to rectify the Fa and to sacredly save sentient beings.

四、正念救度世中人
4. Saving Sentient Being with Righteous Thoughts
去年遇到一个十八人的旅游团,导游和三、四个人站在那里,这时我想机会来了,就说:“大家好,听说过‘三退’保平安吗?”接着我就大声讲真相。
Last year I met a tourist group of 18 people. I saw a good chance and started to greet them: “Hi, have you all heard of “Three Withdrawals” to stay away from catastrophes?” Then I clarified the truth with my big voice.

导游小伙子说:“知道,知道。”他对其他人说:“你们都退、都退。”这时,这个团里的一个老太太指桑骂槐地指着导游对我说:“你都不知道这小子有多坏,他坏水多着呢、坏着呢。什么保平安?”
The tourist guide said: “We know, we know.” He then turned to the group said: “You all need to withdraw, you all need to withdraw.” Then an old lady among the group started to abuse me sarcastically by pointing at the guide: “You know how bad this young fellow is, he carries a lot of bad tricks. What do you mean by staying safe?”

当时我没动心。我拍拍小伙子的肩膀说:“不管你以前做过什么都不重要,现在你只要退出来,真的能保平安、躲劫难。”他问:“是吗?”我说:“现在马上就给你起名字退出去。”
I didn’t get stirred up and continued: “What you have done before is not crucial, as long as you withdraw your CCP membership, you can truly be protected from disasters and stay safe.” The guide then asked: “Is this for real?” I told him I could create an alias for him to withdraw his CCP membership straight away.

我的正念一上来,那老太太一句话也不说了。这时人越来越多,我就不停的劝“三退”。“你看导游都退了,来一次不容易,咱们都退了吧,平安就是福啊。”最后十多个人一个接一个都退了。后面有一个明白真相的大声喊:“对,退出来保平安。你太棒了!”上车前,他对我竖起大拇指。我知道这是众生得救后明白一面的表现。
I kept my righteous thoughts up and that old lady didn’t speak again. The crowd became big, so I kept on clarifying the reason behind CCP withdrawal and said: “Look, now that the guide has already done it, you all should take advantage of this precious time. Staying safe is a big blessing that is hard to find.” In the end, more than ten people agreed to quit CCP. One person even thumbed up and said: “Good on you, quit CCP to stay safe. You are so great.” Before he got on the bus, he still showed his thumbs-up towards me. I know that’s their knowing side that has understood the truth.

当时这个团里有个律师问:“你们退管用吗?”我说:“人在做,天在看,神都在看着哪。中共为什么走到这一步?那是天意呀。”那天我悟到只要正念上来了,就能把邪念压下去,这个场就能转变过来。
There was a lawyer in the group that also questioned if the CCP withdrawal really works. I told him: “Human beings do things, gods up there see all these very clearly. It’s heaven’s will that CCP will end in a mess.” I enlightened at that time that as long as we carry righteous thoughts it will suppress all evil thoughts and hence turn the situation around.

我明白在讲清真相的过程中,我所遇到的一切关和难都是让我在修炼和救人的路上更加精進。只有多学法,在法理上明白了,才会正念正行。在劝退过程中,也多次修去了我的显示心、争斗心。其实能让众生明白真相得以救度的都是师父在做,过程中弟子能感受到的只有师父的慈悲,真的体会到“弟子正念足,师有回天力”。
I understand during the truth clarification process, all the obstacles and tests are for me to be more diligent in cultivation and in saving more sentient beings. Only by studying the Fa more, enlightening from the Fa, can we act righteously. During the CCP withdrawal truth clarification process, I discovered that my show-off and competitive mentality needed to be eliminates. Actually Master has been helping beings to understand the truth in order to be saved. As a Dafa disciple I can only feel the grand compassion given from Master, and truly realised,  “When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide.” (Hong Yin 2 – “The Master-disciple bond”)

以上是自己的一点粗浅体会,不当之出,敬请慈悲指正。最后以师父的《洪吟二》〈正神〉与同修共勉。
The above are some of my experiences, if there is anything improper, please kindly point it out. Finally I would like to conclude my sharing with Master’s new scripture A Righteous God (Hong Yin 2)
正神
正念正行
精進不停
除乱法鬼
善待众生
A Righteous God
With righteous thoughts and righteous actions
He is diligent without letting up
Eliminating demons that damage the Fa
He is good to all beings

感恩师父!
感谢同修!
Thank you Master!
Thanks fellow practitioners!
