努力成为精進实修的大法小弟子
文：澳大利亚越南裔大法小弟子
慈悲伟大的师父好！
同修们好！
我是越南裔大法小弟子，今年十岁，我四岁时在越南与家人一起修炼法轮大法。二零一八年来到悉尼后，我進入明慧学校学习中文及舞蹈。在师父的呵护下，我总是尽最大努力去精進实修。
一、学法修炼是我每天最重要的事情
我早上六点半起床后，和妈妈开始学法。我们一起用汉语和越南语学习《转法轮》一个小时左右。晚饭后我先学习中文，做明慧学校的功课或参加学法小组。然后我参加一个在线炼功小组，炼功一个小时。在睡前，妈妈还会给我用越南语讲一些修炼故事或传统文化故事，比如《西游记》，《密勒日巴佛修炼故事》等等。
二、在吹长笛的练习中我学会了珍惜时间
在两年半前，我参加了学校的乐团，我吹长笛，一年多前我师从天国乐团的老师后，开始认真的练习长笛，我希望自己将来成为长笛音乐家，可以演独奏，证实大法。
在开始学长笛时，我无法集中注意力吹笛子，我经常吹不到十分钟就停下，然后就在房子周围跑来跑去。我妈妈看到我太容易分心，就给我看了一段关于时间管理技巧的视频。
我意识到作为大法弟子我们有更多的责任，更多的事情要做，我也不能浪费自己和妈妈的时间。现在，我学会了珍惜时间，我每天用一个半小时，自己站在一个地方专心练习吹长笛，这样，我妈妈也可以安静的做她正在做的事情。
三、牢记师父教诲，戒掉网络游戏
我曾经玩过一种学习数学的游戏，虽然是以学习数学为理由，可是它们也会影响我无法集中注意力做功课。后来妈妈不让我玩了。我知道妈妈是对的，因为当你每天玩一会，慢慢的就上瘾了。
师父说：“现在的电玩都是外星人在控制人搞的。”[1]
师父还告诉我们：“那个玩电脑、打游戏机，起的是同样的作用，一个道理。你戒了，你戒了让我死啊？不干，我非得让你看。不看？不叫你工作、不叫你学习，就叫你思想想去玩它；不看我让你做梦都玩。”[2]
所以我牢记师父的教诲，远离电脑游戏。当然，刚开始要戒掉玩游戏并不容易，因为任何东西在另外空间都是活的。但是我相信只要我有正念，师父就一定会帮我。所以我最后终于戒掉了。
四、在帮做家务时修去执着心
我小的时候，很少做家务。随着我长大，我很快意识到我也应该帮忙做家务。因为我知道，每个家庭成员都应该做家务。我帮妈妈一起洗碗。我还擦桌子、倒垃圾、收衣服和帮忙打理花园。
我现在喜欢做家务。我觉得很受益。而且，我可以去掉一些执着心，比如懒惰和怕心。我以前害怕在做饭时用刀，但现在我可以轻松地使用它。
五、刻苦学习中文，阅读师父原著
为了能阅读师父的《转法轮》原著，我与妈妈一起学中文。在同修的帮助下，我们每天学背、记注音符号。经过半年多，现在，我们都能自己读注音版的中文《转法轮》了。我们还读越南语《转法轮》，这样就能同时了解中文的意思。
感谢明慧学校帮助我提高中文能力。我可以更好的阅读中文，我可以背诵《洪吟》，我可以更流利的阅读《论语》。如果我能掌握汉语，那么我就能掌握三种语言，我就能给更多的人更好的讲真相了。
六、聆听师父教诲，走回传统路
师父说：“走回传统路通天”[3]。我妈妈认为了解中国古代的传统文化，了解过去善良的人如何对待他人，对我有好处。我用越南语读的书或我听到的有声读物，都是关于中国历史上许多伟大人物的。比如：《说岳全传》、《楚汉相争》《封神演义》等等。
另外，我很幸运能在明慧学校学习地道的中国古典舞。它帮助我了解中国古典舞的传统艺术。它还帮助我知道如何表达自己，它教会我如何像一个传统的人一样行事。
七、助师正法，救度众生
师父说：“大法弟子是人类得救的唯一希望。”[4] 我知道我不但要修好自己，还要救度众生。所以，我经常和妈妈参加各种讲真相活动，我自己在学校也利用各种机会讲真相。
每年新州的三到六年级的小学生，都有机会参加“多元文化演讲比赛”，我想这是一个讲真相救人的好机会，所以我参加了比赛，并在演讲中加入讲真相的内容。去年，我只参加了班级的演讲，今年，我想我得做得更好，这样才能有更多的人能听到真相。
我的演讲以澳大利亚国歌中的一句话开始：“我们是一体的，是自由的”。我对比了澳大利亚和共产主义国家的自由状况。我引用法轮功修炼者在中国被迫害的例子，讲述我们的同修在拒绝放弃信仰时被残酷的折磨，共产党是多么的残忍。
这次，我表现的很好，因为我把整个演讲稿都背下来了。我的老师和另外两位老师非常喜欢我的演讲。我的老师告诉我，她最喜欢有关法轮功的部分。我和另外两名同学一起被选中参加学校的比赛。演讲中，三位老师、三个班级的学生，共八十四人听了真相。我还会更加努力，争取下次给更多的人讲真相。
另外，我还制作纸折真相莲花，送到悉尼市政厅前的真相点救度众生。制作莲花的过程比我想象的要长很多，复杂很多，我努力地记住每个步骤。起初，我花了很长时间才能做一个。但是，我没有放弃，我决心要做好莲花。后来，我发现了一种更快的方法，我知道那是师父为了鼓励我，给我的智慧。谢谢师父。每当我做完一盒莲花，妈妈就会把它们拿到真相点去救度众生。在疫情禁足的这段时间，我大约做了两百朵真相莲花，我会做更多的莲花，希望他们能救度越来越多的众生。
我要做个精進实修的大法小弟子，圆满随师父回家！最后我将以师父的一首诗结束我这次的发言。
真修大法
唯此为大
同化大法
它年必成[5]
以上是我的修炼心得体会，如有不当之处，请慈悲指正。
谢谢师父！
谢谢同修！

====================
Striving to become a diligent little Dafa disciple
By a Young Falun Dafa Vietnamese practitioner in Australia
Greeting to revered Master!
Greetings to fellow practitioners!
I’m a young Falun Dafa practitioner from Viet Nam. I am ten years old. When I was four years old, I obtained the Fa with my family in Vietnam. I moved to Sydney in 2018. After coming to Sydney, I started learning Chinese and dance at Minghui School. Under the care of Master, I have always tried my best to cultivate diligently.
1. Studying Fa and doing exercises are the most important things for me every day
After I get up at 6:30 in the morning, I study Fa with my mother. We study Zhuan Falun both in Chinese and Vietnamese for about an hour. After dinner, I study Chinese first, do my homework at Minghui School or join a Fa-study group. Then I joined an online group to do exercises for one hour. Before going to bed, my mother reads me some cultivation stories or traditional cultural stories in Vietnamese, such as Journey to the West, cultivation stories of Milarepa and so on.
2. Learning to cherish time through practicing the flute
I joined my school band two and a half years ago. I played the flute. It was not until I studied with Conductor of Tian Guo Marching Band more than a year ago that I started playing the flute seriously. I hope that I will become a flutist in the future and be able to perform solo and validate Dafa.
When I started learning the flute, I couldn’t concentrate on playing it. I often stopped playing after less than ten minutes and then ran around the house. My mother saw that I was too easily distracted, so she showed me a video about time management techniques.
I realized that as Dafa disciples we have more responsibilities and more things to do, and I can’t waste any of my time or my mum’s time. Now, I have learnt to cherish time. I spend one and a half hours every day standing still to concentrate on practicing flute, so that my mother can quietly do what she is doing.
3. Keeping in mind Master’s teachings and quitting online games
I once played a game to learn mathematics. Although it was for learning mathematics, it also affected my ability to concentrate and do my homework. Later, my mother stopped me from playing it. I know my mother is right, because if we play games for a while every day, we will gradually become addicted to it.
Master said,
“Today’s video games are all made by people who are acting at the prompting of aliens.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the New York Fa Conference Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Dafa’s Spreading”)
Master also said,
“Spending unnecessary time on the computer or playing video games has the same effect; it’s the same idea. If you want to quit, that thing won’t want you to since it would die. And so it will do all in its power to make you engage in those things. And if you try not to, it will interfere with your work or studies by causing your mind to crave them. If you refuse, it might even make you do those things in your dreams.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2019 New York Fa Conference”)
So, I’ve kept in mind Master’s teachings and stayed away from computer games. Of course, at first it was not easy to quit computer games because everything is alive in other dimensions. But I believe as long as I have a righteous mind, Master will definitely help me. In the end, I was able to quit it.
4. Eliminating attachments through helping with housework
When I was younger, I rarely did housework. As I grew older, I quickly realized that I should also help with housework because I know that each family member should do housework. I often wash dishes with my mother. I also clean the table, take out the rubbish, collect washing and help with gardening.
I like doing housework now because I feel it is beneficial. Also, it helps me get rid of some attachments such as laziness and fear. I used to be afraid of using a knife while cooking, but now I can use it easily.
5. Persevering in studying Chinese and reading Master’s original teachings
In order to be able to read the original book Zhuan Falun I learned Chinese with my mother. With the help of a Taiwanese fellow practitioner, we learned Zhuyin [zjew-yen] symbols and tried to memorize those every day. After more than half of a year, now we can read the Zhuyin version of “Zhuan Falun” in Chinese by ourselves. We also read “Zhuan Falun” in Vietnamese so that we can understand the meaning of the Chinese version at the same time.
I thank Minghui School for helping me improve my Chinese. I can read Chinese better now, I can recite “Hong Yin” and “Lun Yu” more fluently. If I can master Chinese, then I can master three languages, and I can clarify the truth to more people.
6. Following Master’s teachings and returning to the traditional path
Master said,
“Return to tradition to connect with the divine.”(“Re-Creation”)
My mum thinks that it is good for me to understand the traditional culture of ancient China and how people treated others kindly in the past. The books I read in Vietnamese or the audiobooks I listen to are about many great figures in Chinese history. For example: Stories of General Yue Fei, The conflicts between Chu and Han, Investiture of the Gods and so on.
I am also very fortunate to be able to learn authentic Chinese classical dance at Minghui School. It helps me understand the traditional art of Chinese classical dance. It also helps me know how to express myself. It teaches me many traditional values.
7. Helping Master in Fa Rectification and saving sentient beings
Master said,
“Dafa disciples are the hope of humankind – the one and only hope.” (“A Congratulatory Letter to the European Fa Conference in Paris”)
I know that I do not only need to cultivate myself well, but also save sentient beings. So I often participate in various truth clarification activities with my mother, and I also use various opportunities to clarify the truth at school.
Every year, students from Year three to six in NSW have the opportunity to participate in a “Multicultural Speech Contest.” I think this is a good opportunity to clarify the truth and save people, so I took part in the contest and included truth clarification content in my speech. Last year, I only took part in the class contest. This year, I thought I have to do better so that more people can hear the truth.
My speech started with a sentence from the Australian national anthem: “We are one and free.” I compared the state of freedom in Australia to that in communist countries. I gave the example of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China and described how our fellow practitioners were cruelly tortured when they refused to give up their faith and how cruel the Communist Party is.
This time, I performed very well because I memorized the entire speech. My teacher and the other two teachers liked my speech very much. My teacher told me that she liked the part about Falun Gong the most. I was selected to participate in the school competition with two other classmates. A total of 84 people including three teachers and three classes heard the truth at the school competition. I will work harder to clarify the truth to more people next time.
In addition, I also make paper truth lotus flowers and distribute them at the truth clarification site in front of Town Hall to save sentient beings. The process of making lotus flowers was much longer and more complicated than I thought. I tried to remember each step. At home, it took me a long time to make one. However, I did not give up, I was determined to do it well. Later, I found a faster way. I knew that Master gave me the wisdom to encourage me. Thank you Master! Whenever I finished a box of lotus flowers, my mother would take them to the truth clarification site to save sentient beings. During the lockdown, I made two hundred lotus flowers. I will make more, and I hope that they can save more sentient beings.
I will try to be a diligent little Dafa disciple, so I can return home with Master!
Finally, I will end my sharing with a poem from Master’s Hong Yin.
Master said,
“Gaining the Fa
Cultivate Dafa with all your heart.
Nothing could be more important.
Become one with Dafa,
And Consummation is, in time, certain.”
(Hong Yin, Translation Version A)
The above is my cultivation experience. If there’s anything inappropriate, please kindly point it out.
Thank you Master!
Thank you, fellow practitioners!
