又到了一年一度的开法会的时候了，这是我们每个大法弟子总结自己的一年的修炼过程，向师父汇报，与同修交流的最好时机了。但我几度拿起笔又放下，因为总感觉自己修得不好，离师父的要求差的太远了，也没什么突出的表现。平平淡淡的有什么可写的呢？

A few weeks ago, we all knew the time had come again for the annual Fa conference, which was also the best opportunity for every practitioner to summarise their cultivation journey for the year, report to Master and share with fellow practitioners. I picked up my pen, but put it down several times, because I felt I hadn’t cultivated well and was far behind the requirements Master set for us. I didn’t have any outstanding achievements and I didn’t feel I could write anything because my experiences were so simple and ordinary.

但是在一次大组学法时，我们的协调人说：“大家不要以为写交流稿就是要你做的如何如何好才写，做的不够好就不写了。其实这样你更应该写了，那就写写你哪里做得不好，找找不足，和大家互相交流，互相促進，共同提高，这不更好吗？”

一次在大组交流上，聽到一位在香港参加完天国乐团游行后回来的同修交流，对我触动很大，同时我也很向往，但觉得自己没知识，又不懂乐理，怎么可能加入乐团学习演奏乐器，也只能是想想而已。

I was touched after hearing a sharing from a practitioner who attended the Tian Guo Marching Band parade in Hong Kong, and it made me wish to join the marching band. But I thought that since I didn’t have any knowledge or music, nor did I understand music theory, I wouldn’t be able to join the band and learn an instrument. My wish was just that – a wish.

可能是师父看到我有心，在几天后早上学完法後，A同修问我你想不想進乐团？我说怎么可能，我这么笨学不会，没有信心。A同修是我们墨尔本乐团圆号组的，她说你想学我包你会！就这样没几天同修帮我找到一把圆号，我开始了学习圆号的“修炼之路”。

随着正法進程的快速推進，社会形势不断发生变化，如何看清乱象，守住心性，多救众生，是我们大法弟子这一时期兑现誓约的又一关键时刻。

As the Fa-rectification proceeds rapidly and society is undergoing continuous changes, it is a crucial moment for Dafa disciples to fulfil their vows by seeing the chaos for what it is, upgrading our xinxing, and saving sentient beings.

疫情期间，人与人之间很少接触，这样面对面讲真相救人，就非常难。因此，本地区辅导员找懂网络的同修，帮我们安装网络平台，建立了个人账号，支持我们上网讲真相，助师多救人。

在写交流稿这件事上，我觉得我有一颗利益之心，就是如果写得不好不能被选上，那就是在浪费时间。其实在每天的日常生活中，我浪费了多少珍贵的时间在无谓的事情上，不想写交流稿就是在为自己的安逸和逃避找借口。我想作为大法中的一粒子，每年写一篇交流稿就好像学生每年都要進行一次期末考试一样，无论每道题会做不会做，做的好与不好，都要用一场考试来帮助我们认清自己，从而弥补不足，在所剩不多的时间里努力提高上来、跟上正法進程。 (During the process of writing this paper, I’ve discovered a trace of attachment to personal gain. I was afraid that if I didn’t write well, my paper wouldn’t be selected, and this would be a waste of my time. Actually, during everyday life, I’ve wasted precious time on trivial matters. Not wanting to write this sharing paper is simply an excuse for seeking comfort. I feel that as particles within Dafa, writing an annual sharing paper is just like students taking an annual final exam. …… )

我於2009年在澳洲得法，之前從修煉大法的父母身心上的變化，看到了大法的美好。雖然我那時沒有修煉，但是我把父母告訴我的「法輪大法好，真善忍好」幾個字，始終記在心裡。在2008年、2009年兩次體驗念「九字真言」的威力，化險為夷，促成了我修煉的機緣，我開始真正走入法輪大法的修煉。(I obtained Falun Dafa in Australia in 2009. I saw the beauty of Dafa through the physical and mental changes of my parents who practiced Dafa. Although I did not practice Falun Dafa at that time, I always kept in mind the words my parents told me, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In 2008 and 2009 I experienced the power of reciting the “Nine-Character Mantra”, which turned danger into safety and gave me the opportunity to learn about Falun Dafa. After these instances I began to truly practice Falun Dafa)

為了將真相傳播到澳洲偏遠地區，讓那裡的眾生了解真相，得到大法救度，去年八月二十日，我和昆士蘭同修共5輛真相車，開始了從布里斯本往返凱恩斯的真相之旅，我駕駛的是全車貼膜的解體中共（“END CCP”）的大真相車，同修的車則在車頂固定真相展板，我們沿途通過車輛和展板的信息傳遞真相，每到一個小鎮，就去圖書館送真相書籍，或者去海灘和城鎮發放資料和征簽等。 (In order to clarify the truth in remote areas of Australia, so that the people there can learn about Falun Dafa and have a chance to be saved, in August last year, I went with some practitioners in Queensland on a car tour truth clarification project, from Brisbane to Cairns. I drove a large van that had information about  “End CCP” all over the side panels, the roof and the front and back of the van. …)

师尊在《悉尼法会讲法》中开示：“有人问我，说：老师啊，你教了我们这么多东西，给了我们这么多，你求什么？我说：我什么也不求。我就是来度你的，我就要你那颗向善的心，能够提高上去。”
(Dear Master, and dear fellow practitioners, I obtained Falun Dafa in 1996 after seeing a newspaper advertisement for free classes to teach the Dafa exercises. I also had the honour of attending Master’s first lecture in Australia. 

In Lecture Given at the Conference in Sydney, Master said: “Some people have asked me, “Teacher, you have taught us so many things and given us so many things—what do you seek?” I said, “I seek nothing. I am just here to save you. I just want to see you strive to become a better person and for you to be able to advance and improve yourself.”)
