走在助师正法兑现誓约路上的修炼体会
文：澳大利亚大法弟子
尊敬的师父好！各位同修好！
师父说：“师父领進门，修行在个人，全看你自己如何去修。能不能修，全看你自己能不能忍受，能不能付出，能不能吃苦。如能横下一条心，什么困难也挡不住，我说那就没问题。”[1]一年又过去了，我在助师正法、兑现誓约的修炼过程中走的磕磕绊绊，幸运的是我们是正法时期的大法弟子，只要向内找，不断修去人心，提高心性，加强正念，就会在慈悲伟大的师尊呵护下，一直前行。
一、珍惜师父留给我们的集体学法，集体炼功的大法洪传形式
师父说：“集体学法是我给大家留下来的，集体炼功是我给大家留下来的，除了迫害极其严重的情况下，中国大陆之外其它地区都得这样做。”[2]
我本身是一个安逸心比较重的人，更不是一个喜欢早起的人，但是因为又要上班又要做媒体讲真相项目，常常不能保证每天的学法和炼功。
大概在两年半前，为了改变这个不好状态，在修炼上有个突破，除了还是正常参加每周二当地小组学法和周六的悉尼集体大学法之外，我就克服懒惰的心，坚持每天早晨五点半和本地学法小组的几个同修一起在网上学一讲法，学完法后自己根据时间再争取炼动功或打坐，能炼多少是多少，八点去上班。这样一直坚持把学法炼功作为迎接新一天修炼的开始，我感到前所未有的充实，心里非常踏实。
现在我能更好的合理安排好工作和修炼时间。每天下午五点下班回家吃过饭忙完家务后，我再做媒体讲真相项目效果就更好，感觉心态更稳，不会象以前那样纠结自己还没学法炼功而莫名烦恼。通常做完节目是晚上十点以后了。尽管我每天睡眠约五小时，白天上班，却觉得比以前精力更充沛。
去年疫情开始后，不能如往常那样去景点讲真相了。所以如果没有发信箱和一些特殊的事情，我通常在休息日周三和周末，都会和小组同修去住处附近的公园炼功。户外炼功看似简单平常，其实也是一个魔炼、提高心性的修炼过程，也是去除自己安逸心的好机会。
譬如，冬天天冷风大，夏天天热，有时苍蝇、蚊子也围着你转，站在草地上炼功蚂蚁虫子也来跟你捣乱，这些小事都会干扰你的正念，搅的你心不静。但想到我们大法弟子在户外炼功是为了传播大法真相，不是为了我们自己，我就会坚持下来。在户外炼功时，有时会有有缘人来学功，或者坐在公园看着我们炼功，还有来征签的，也有马路上过往的车辆鸣笛称赞的。户外炼功确实可以让世人看到大法的美好祥和，对世人了解大法真相奠定一个好的基础。
二、扭转观念看似坏事变好事
去年八月份的一天，我的右腿突然非常疼痛，整个大腿筋扭着疼，腿不能弯，一弯就钻心刺痛。当时自己的第一念动了常人念，想到每天上班要站着，冬天石灰地很凉，一定是腿着凉了，就用电吹风吹，穿上很厚的袜子和保暖裤，但是疼痛一点都没有缓解，不用说双盘就连散盘坐在那儿都会很疼。这时我心里很着急，正念最差的时候居然去商店买了两贴膏药，想着可能今晚贴上明天就好了，就能盘腿了。然而我仅存的一点正念当时告诉自己不能这么做，另外空间不知道有多少双眼睛都在盯着呢，如果我贴上膏药了，就承认是病了，可能再也盘不上了。
我也反思自己，为什么会受到这样的干扰？首先我默认它就是病了，就用了常人的处理方式，用各种保暖热敷，自己都感觉不出来。我否定了自己这些不正的念头后，从自己的心性上找，修炼至今还有很多很多的执著心，自己在修炼上需要提高心性了，同时发正念否定一切旧势力安排的干扰，不承认它。
我先散盘坐着学法，一直坐到两腿都麻了没有知觉了，我再试着往上搬腿。这样过了一段时间，渐渐的变好一点，但最多就是双盘半小时还痛的全身冒汗，有时晚上睡觉都会疼醒，并没有解决根本问题。因为自己的注意力还是关注在疼不疼上，抱着有求之心。
慈悲的师父看到弟子有这颗想要做好的心，在我学法时就点悟弟子。师父说：“修炼中无论你们遇到好事与不好的事，都是好事，因为那是你们修炼了才出现的。修炼者不能带着人心、带着业债、带着执著圆满。”[3]
是啊，我怎么一直把它看成是个大坏事呢，从来没想过这是个好事，是不是应该转变一下观念，想想这何尝不是个好事呢，因为自己平时怕吃苦，在家打坐很少去坚持双盘一小时，这次腿这么疼，一定是因为平时自己的松懈，业力积攒多了，只能用这种自己还能承受的方式去补上。
师父说：“修炼的人是反过来看问题的，把这些魔难、痛苦都视为提高的好机会，都是好事，让它多来、快来，自己好提高的快。”[4]
师父这段法点醒了我，我不再去琢磨疼的原因和怎样才能不疼了，它疼它的，我干我的，都把它当成是个大好事，继续去做好应该做的。大法就是这般神奇超常，无求而自得。当我提高了心性，不再去执著腿痛时，腿奇迹般地就一点不疼了，又能双盘一小时了，不修炼的常人真的是很难理解，修炼人的好坏一念会带来如此不同的结果。
师父说：“只要你提高心性，就能过的去，就怕你自己不想过，想过就能过的去。” [1]
师父还说：“难忍能忍，难行能行” [1]。经常感到我们有慈悲的师尊呵护，是何等的幸运！如果不精進何颜面对师尊和自己世界的众生！这次过关中也体会到修炼人在自己平时的修炼中真的不能懈怠，每天的学法、炼功和发正念，都是在常人的这个大染缸中洗净自己，所以不能放松，不要人为的给自己制造修炼路上的障碍。
三、工作场所就是自己的修炼场所
师尊说：“你们修炼的形式就是在常人社会中修，不同阶层、不同职业都能够修炼，而且身在不同的社会、利用不同的职业在世界的各个角落中证实着法、救度着众生，都在利用着现在的这种社会形式修炼着。”[5]
很羡慕那些不用上班，把全身心精力都投入到各种讲真相活动上的同修。自己没有那么多时间就更应该利用自身的条件抓紧做得更好一点去弥补。我工作的单位西人多、年轻人多，比较容易讲真相，大部分人都能接受。因为单位人多，休息时间各不相同，我就用午休时间给同时间休息的同事讲真相征签，有几十人都签了名，下班后又和单位老板讲真相，他也签了。
圣诞节我们公司一个大客户老板来单位并特意过来对我的工作表示感谢，我负责包装他们公司的订单。每个月都有上万的订单，要按照不同产品和数量包装纸袋邮寄。每个月的工作报告出来，我的出错率都是非常非常的低，只是一两个，最近八月和九月都没有任何错误。这个客户对我的工作特别满意，我就抓住机会对他讲了真相，并把放在单位的莲花和真相资料送给他。
因为单位建立了脸书群组，每天的人员工作安排都贴在单位脸书上，单位的一些通知也都在脸书上发布。我就邀请单位的同事作为脸书好友，这样个人脸书上贴的真相文章和视频他们就可以看到。同时也注意交替上传一些常人感兴趣的生活内容，上传一些生活中的日常相片等，而不是千篇一律都是真相文章，让常人能够理解大法弟子并不是苦行僧，我们的日常生活也是快乐丰富多彩的，但我们自己明白我们的心并不执著于此。
母亲节时我把五、六十朵莲花和资料放在午餐休息室祝大家母亲节快乐！并拍了照片放在单位脸书上，告诉大家可以把美丽的莲花送给自己的母亲、家人和朋友。这样做后，莲花一下就拿没了，还有没拿到或想多拿几朵的同事，又过来问我是否可以再多带一些来。
最近公司来了一位新的电脑工程师，看他像中国人我就主动过去和他说话。我们互相加了脸书做为好友。之后在脸书上和他聊天，帮他做了“三退”（退出中共党、团、队）。他在公司做了没多久就离开了，他告诉我工作压力太大，他辞职了。我知道是师父把有缘人领到我身边。感谢师父！
自己在讲真相上比较用心，但有时就会只注重怎么炼没有注重怎么修，只是为讲真相而讲真相，没有去注意实修自己，我悟道在平时的工作和生活环境中都要归正自己的一思一念。其实我的工作场所就是自己的修炼场所，需要自己在这个环境中修炼自己，提高自己，工作中的人都是要救度的众生，对于常人的工作，也要尽心尽职，任劳任怨，时刻提醒自己是大法弟子，替别人着想，自己的言行就在证实法。
四、救人急，做个为他的生命
今天的众生都是为大法而来，同修们都是在加快脚步多救人，我感到不能松懈，应该和同修一样，尽量把时间多用在救人讲真相上。为了多救人，有些同修参与了去海边做反迫害征签，我一开始只是在购物街上征签，但周日人并不多，而且有些大商场门前也有限制，不能站在外面。就想自己是不是也应该去海边征签？
但一开始就被人心障碍着，想着别人在海边晒太阳、放松，我上去征签会不会打扰别人？向内找深挖自己，是因为我有爱面子的心。我摆正了救度众生的基点后，自己不是去求签名，而是给这个生命得救的机会。突破了人念，我每周日和家人同修去海边征签时，自己也能大方得体的上去打招呼讲真相征签了，效果也很好。经常感到人神就是一念之差。不断加强神念，去掉人念，才能不断精進。
为了能更好的在打电话中讲清真相，几周前我参加了晚间RTC平台开口讲真相打电话培训，使我受益匪浅，感恩师尊给予弟子这个珍贵特殊的修炼机会！感谢协调和培训同修的无私辛苦付出！八天的培训让我看到了自己修炼上的太多不足。
师父说：“我还要告诉你们，其实你们以前的本性是建立在为我为私的基础上的，你们今后做事就是要先想到别人，修成无私无我，先他后我的正觉，所以你们今后做什么说什么也得为别人，以至为后人着想啊！为大法的永世不变着想啊！”[6]
以前往国内打电话讲真相，我一直断断续续不能坚持，现在悟到是自己隐藏着不易觉察的私心。给众生讲真相的时候遇到不退的，我会觉得反正给你讲了，那你不退没有办法了，没有更多的去想怎么能够更好地提升讲清真相的质量。通过培训，现在我明白付出多少，得到多少。只有用心去多看、多记、多练、多讲，真正为众生着想，才能更好地提升救人的效果。
通过培训我还悟到，以前我做大法弟子应做的三件事，有时候好象是为自己做一样，自己每天都在忙着做讲真相的事，但是自己动的第一念是：哦我今天还没讲真相呢；我要讲真相；我要怎样做……。
我参与媒体讲真相项目也好；发报纸、征签也好；社交媒体讲真相也好；或碰到有缘的众生讲真相也好，从表面上看，我似乎把自己每一天的讲真相活动都安排的满满的，没落下，但真正围绕着讲真相这一切事情，自己动的第一念都是离不开我。
因为为了自己不落下，所以我也会克服各种困难去参加各种讲真相的活动。因为知道正法时期大法弟子必须做好三件事，这是自己的使命，必须讲真相救人，必须兑现自己的誓约，否则不可能圆满。
但是这一切都没有跳出为我为私的基点，我在这个为私的框框中去试图做好三件事。正是因为没有跳出这个“私”字，所以生不出慈悲心来。我感觉自己经常把打电话看成一种压力，是一种无可奈何，必须要硬着头皮去做的事情。或者，我满足于今天已经做了别的讲真相的事情了，不用去打电话了。
我意识到自己不是想多抓紧时间去救人，不是想到无数无数与我们有缘的众生，正期盼着我们赶快去救他们，使他们所代表的天体免于被淘汰和毁灭的悲惨结局。
其实，这些众生真的是很可怜，他们和我们一样，当初也是冒着天胆来到这肮脏的三界，也是想拯救他们所代表的天体。只是他们在这场大戏中被安排扮演的是不明真相的众生。
此生我能成为大法弟子是多么的幸运！我就更要完成好自己的使命，真正修成一个为他、无私无我，先他后我的正觉。师父说：“大法弟子是人类得救的唯一希望。”[7]
当我想到可贵的中国人等待了千万年，就是为今天明白真相时，我再拿起电话向他们讲真相时，正念就强了，我带着一颗慈悲的心去珍惜每一个号码、每一段缘分和师尊的苦心安排；我不再去执著“三退”的数字，而是渴望众生能真正明白真相。感恩师尊给予弟子这样的机缘去救度众生、助师正法，给予弟子正法时期大法弟子的荣耀！
最后以师父的讲法与同修共勉。
“修炼路不同
都在大法中
万事无执着
脚下路自通”[8]
以上是自己所在层次的有限体会，请同修慈悲指正！
感恩师尊！
感谢同修！

====================
The experience of cultivating on the path of helping Master in Fa-rectification and fulfilling my vows
By a Falun Dafa Chinese practitioner in Australia
Greetings Revered Master! Greetings fellow practitioners!
Master said,
“The master takes you through the entrance, and cultivation is up to you, yourself. It all depends upon how you, yourself cultivate. Whether you can cultivate all depends upon whether you can endure, sacrifice, and suffer. If you can commit your mind, no difficulties can stop you. I would say that there’s no problem.” (Lecture four, Zhuan Falun)
This past year, in the course of my practice of helping Master to Fa-rectification and fulfill my vows hasn’t been smooth sailing. But fortunately, as Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, we can still charge forward with our great and compassionate Master’s help. It is all possible so long as we look within, get rid of attachments, improve our xinxing and strengthen our righteous thoughts.
1. Cherishing the group format of Fa study and exercises Master has left us to spread Dafa
Master said,
“Group Fa study is what I left for everyone, and group exercise is what I left for everyone. Other than in situations of severe persecution, it should be done this way in other areas outside mainland China.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2016 New York Fa Conference”)
As I struggle to get up early and have to attend my everyday person job and truth clarification projects, I often can’t spare time for Fa study and exercises.
About two and a half years ago, in order to overcome this bad state and have a breakthrough in cultivation, I decided to read Dafa books with several practitioners online at 5:30 am every morning. After studying the Fa, I would do the meditation or standing exercises as long as time allowed and left for work at 8:00 am. I also attended my regular local group Fa study on Tuesdays and the Sydney’s larger group Fa study on Saturdays. By insisting on starting my day with Fa study and exercises, I feel more fulfilled and solid in my heart than ever.
I can balance my work and cultivation much better now. After finishing work at 5:00pm, I would have dinner and complete my chores and then work on truth-clarification projects. This way, I felt more stable, and the result of my work was much better. In the past, I would obsess over the fact that I hadn’t read or exercised yet and feel worried. Usually, I’d finish this program after 10:00pm. Even though this left me 5 hours of sleep each day, I felt more energetic at work than in the past.
Since the pandemic started last year, I couldn’t clarify the truth at tourist sites anymore. So, on my days off and on weekends where I didn’t have other Dafa related work to attend do, I would exercise at a park with local fellow practitioners. Outdoor exercises may seem simple, but the experience itself is also a cultivation process, and a good opportunity to improve my xinxing and remove my attachment to comfort.
For example, you endure the cold winds of winter, the heat of summer, and pests like flies, mosquitoes and ants come to disrupt you as you exercise in the grass. All these little things will interfere with your righteous thoughts and stir your mind. But when I remember that we exercise outdoors to spread the truth for Dafa, and not for ourselves, I persevere. During outdoor exercises, sometimes predestined people would come to learn, sit and watch, or sign the petition, with passing-by cars beeping their horns in support. Outdoor practice can indeed display the beauty and peace of Dafa and lay a good foundation for people to learn the truth about Dafa.
2. Change notion, seemingly bad things are seen as good things
In August last year, my right leg suddenly grew very painful, as if my whole tendon was twisted. I couldn’t bend my leg, as attempting would cause a stabbing pain. The first thought I had was a human thought: “the limestone floor I stand on at work is very cold in the winter, this must have done some damage to my leg”. So, I would warm up my leg with a hair dryer and wear thick socks and pants. However, it didn’t alleviate the discomfort, and doing single cross, let alone double cross, was very painful. When my righteous thoughts was at its worst, I was so anxious that I went to the store and bought two plasters to help me recover. However, my only remaining righteous thought told me not to, as I didn’t know in other dimensions how many eyes were watching me. Using the plaster would be an act of admitting I was sick, so I may never be able to cross my legs again.
I tried to reflect on why this bothered me so much. First of all, I regarded it as a sickness, and thus dealt with it in an everyday person’s fashion, keeping my body warm with various ways. After I denied these improper thoughts of mine, I examined my xinxing, and realized that I still have many attachments. I needed to improve my xinxing and sending righteous thoughts to deny all the interferences of the old forces.
I started reading Dafa books with my legs loosely crossed, until both of my legs were numb. Then I tried to move my legs up. After a period of time, it gradually became better, as I could double cross my legs for half an hour. However, this came with great pain that would cause me to sweat all over and wake me up at night. The problem hadn’t fundamentally resolved, as I was still so focused on the pain.
Seeing my efforts, compassionate Master gave me a hint as I read “To the Chicago Fa Conference”.
Master said,
“Whatever you experience during your cultivation–whether good or bad–is good, for it comes about only because you are cultivating. A cultivator cannot achieve Consummation when laden with human thoughts, laden with karmic debts, or laden with attachments.” (“To the Chicago Fa Conference”)
That’s right! Why had I always regarded it as a bad thing? Maybe I should change this notion and consider it as a good thing. Being afraid of the hardship, I hardly ever completed the one-hour meditation in full lotus position. I guess the pain I had to endure was making up for what I had escaped in the past.
Master said,
“Cultivators look at things in just the opposite way. They see tribulations and suffering as good opportunities for improvement. [To cultivators] these are all good things, and the more there are and the faster they come, the faster the improvement.” (“Teaching the Fa in the San Francisco, 2005”)
Master’s words awakened me. I was no longer transfixed on the cause of the pain and how to stop it; I took it as a great thing and continued to do what I should do and do it well. Dafa is so miraculous and transcendent, and gaining without pursuit is the principle. After I had improved my xinxing and no longer paid attention to the pain, it miraculously stopped, and I was able to complete the whole hour in double lotus position again. It is really difficult for everyday people to understand the results that a thought of a practitioner can yield.
Master said,
“As long as you improve your xinxing, you can overcome them. Unless you, yourself do not want to do so, you can make it, provided you want to overcome them.” (Lecture four, Zhuan Falun)
Master said,
“When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Lecture nine, Zhuan Falun)
I often think of how lucky we are to have a compassionate Master to take care of us. If we are not diligent, how could we face our revered Master and the sentient beings in our own world? Through this tribulation, I learned that practitioners really can’t slack off in their own practice. Daily Fa study, exercises and sending righteous thoughts are our ways to cleanse ourselves in this big dye vat of everyday people, therefore, we shouldn’t slack off and create obstacles for ourselves in our cultivation path.
3. The workplace is a place of cultivation
Master said,
“The form that your cultivation takes has one cultivate in ordinary human society, and people in different social classes or different professions can all cultivate; and as you reside in different societies and make use of the different professions you are in to validate the Fa and save sentient beings in every corner of the world, you are utilizing this present form of society to cultivate.” (“Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan” from Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. X)
I envy those who don’t have to work and can devote all their energy to truth-clarification. Since I don’t have much time, I must make good use of it to compensate. There are many Westerners and young people at my work, so it is relatively easy to clarify the facts there. Most people can accept it. The staff members at work have lunch at different times, so I clarify the facts to those who have lunch when I do. A few dozen people have signed the petition, and I also clarified the facts to my boss, and he has signed the petition.
At Christmas time, a boss of an important customer especially turned up at my workplace to express his gratitude for my work. I am responsible for packing their company orders. Every month, there are tens of thousands of orders; my role is preparing the paper packaging with their respective products and organising the quantities. The monthly work report shows that I have a very low error rate, just one or two, with no errors in my August and September reports. Since this customer was particularly satisfied with my work, I took the opportunity to clarify the facts to him and gave him a lotus flower and truth-clarification materials.
My work unit had established a Facebook group where the daily schedule of staff members was posted, along with some notices. I invited my work colleagues to be my Facebook friends so they could see the truth-clarification articles and videos I had posted on my account. I also took care to alternate this content with photos from my daily life, so my colleagues could see that Dafa disciples weren’t ascetics. Our daily life is also happy and colourful, although we ourselves are not overly obsessed with these things.
On Mother’s Day I placed about 50 to 60 lotus flowers and some materials in the lunchroom to celebrate Mother’s Day. I also took a picture and put it on my work unit’s Facebook page, telling everyone that they could give the beautiful lotus flowers to their mothers, family members and friends. After doing so, the lotus flowers were gone in a flash, and colleagues who hadn’t gotten them or wanted more came back to ask if I could bring some more.
Recently, a new computer engineer joined our company. Seeing that he looked Chinese, I took the initiative to talk to him and we added each other on Facebook. After that, I chatted with him over Facebook and helped him withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party and its related organizations. He left the company after a short time as he told me the job was too stressful. I knew it was Master who led this predestined person to me. Thank you Master!
Although I was quite attentive in clarifying the facts, I sometimes didn’t prioritise my self-cultivation. I realized that I needed to rectify every thought of mine amidst my daily work and life environment. My workplace is an environment for cultivation, so I need to cultivate and improve myself there and help save these sentient beings. I need to put my heart into my everyday job and always remind myself that I am a Dafa disciple who thinks for others. My words and actions are to validate the Fa.
4. Hurrying to save sentient beings and becoming altruistic
Today’s beings are all here for Dafa. Fellow practitioners are speeding up to save more sentient beings, and I feel I should spend more time saving sentient beings and not slack off. In order to reach more people, some fellow practitioners are going to the beach to collect signatures for the END CCP petition. At first, I only collected signatures on streets with shops, but they were quite empty on Sundays. With restrictions in place in front of some big malls, I couldn’t collect signatures there. I wondered if I should also go to the beach to collect signatures.
But my human notions were stopping me. I thought to myself: people are sunbathing and relaxing at the beach, wouldn’t I be disturbing them? I looked within and dug deeper to learn I had an attachment to saving face. From the point of view of saving sentient beings, I was not asking them for signature, instead I was offering them the chance to be saved. After breaking through that notion, I was able to collect signatures without feeling embarrassed and the result was quite good. I often feel that one thought can determine if one is a human or divine being. Only through strengthening the divine thoughts and getting rid of the human thoughts can we continue to improve.
In order to clarify the facts better over the phone, I participated in the training run by the RTC phone team a few weeks ago which has benefited me greatly. I am grateful for this precious cultivation opportunity that Master has given me. Thanks to the coordinator and trainers’ selfless contributions, the eight-day training helped me to see many shortcomings in my own cultivation.
Master said,
“I also want to tell you that your nature in the past was actually based on egotism and selfishness. From now on, whatever you do, you should consider others first, so as to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism. So from now on, whatever you do or whatever you say, you must consider others—or even future generations—along with Dafa’s eternal stability.” (“Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature”, Essentials for Further Advancement)
I came to realise that I was unable to persist in making phone calls to China in the past due to an attachment to self. Whilst clarifying the facts to sentient beings, if they didn’t agree to quit, I would think to myself: “I have told you anyway, there is nothing I can do if you don’t quit”. I wouldn’t focus on improving the quality of my clarification. Through the training, I understood that the effort I put in determined the result I’d get. Only through more reading, memorizing, practicing, speaking, and truly thinking of sentient beings, can we improve our effect of saving people.
Through the training, I also realized that although I did the three things, but sometimes I did it as if I was doing it for myself. Though I was busy doing things every day, but the first thought I had was “oh I haven’t clarified the facts today yet; I want to clarify the fact; I want to do it in a certain way…”
Whether it was participating in media projects, distributing newspapers, collecting signatures, clarifying facts through social media or doing it face to face, I always had a full schedule every day in truth-clarification activities without fail. However, my first thought still revolved around me, myself.
In order not to fall behind, I would overcome all kinds of difficulties to participate in various truth-clarification activities, as I knew that as a Fa-rectification-period Dafa disciple, I had to complete the three things. I knew my mission was to clarify the facts to save people in order to fulfil my vow, or consummation wouldn’t be possible.
But all this was rooted in a base of selfishness, and I was trying to do the three things in this frame of mind. As I hadn’t stepped out of “selfishness,” I was not able to have compassion. I felt that I often viewed making phone calls as a pressure, as something that I had no choice but to do. Sometimes, I was happy that I had already done other truth-clarification work and didn’t have to make phone calls that day.
I realized that I wasn’t seizing time to save people or considering the countless predestined beings awaiting us to save them, freeing the celestial bodies they represent from the tragic end of being eliminated and destroyed.
In fact, these sentient beings are really pitiful. Like us, they left heaven and dared to descend to the filthy three realms to save the heavenly bodies they represent. It is just that they are arranged to play the role of sentient beings who don’t know the truth in this grand show. How lucky I am to be a Dafa disciple in this life! It gives me all the more reason to fulfil my mission and truly cultivate to be a righteous, selfless being who puts others first.
Master said:
“Dafa disciples are humankind’s only hope for salvation.” (“To the Fa Conference of Europe”)
When I thought of the precious Chinese people who have waited millions of years to understand the truth today, my righteous thoughts became stronger. As I picked up the phone again to clarify the facts to them, I cherished every number, every predestined relationship and Master’s painstaking compassionate arrangement. I stopped being attached to the numbers of people quit and longed for all sentient beings to truly understand the truth. Thank you Master for giving me the opportunity to assist you in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings, and for the honour of being a Fa-rectification Dafa disciple.
Finally, I would like to end my sharing with Master’s poem.
Master said,
Unimpeded
The paths of cultivation are varied
But none is outside the Great Law
When one is attached to nothing
The path underfoot is naturally smooth
(Hong Yin II, Translation Version A)
The above is the limited experience at my level, please kindly point out anything improper.
Thank you, Master!
Thank you, fellow practitioners!
