向内找

珍惜修炼机缘 (AM 4th sharing)

L YQ

尊敬的师尊好！

各位同修大家好！

今天很高兴有机会和大家交流自己多年来的修炼体会。回顾这一路，有过困难和迷茫，也有突破执着、明白法理后的喜悦。每当在矛盾和考验中发现自己的不足，并在法中重新认识自己、改变自己时，我都更加体会到修炼机缘的珍贵。

下面，我从三个方面与大家分享自己的修炼体会。

第一部分：遇到问题时，真正向内找

修炼中的考验往往体现在日常小事中。遇到问题时，能否把自己当作修炼人，放下情绪，首先向内找，是我需要不断修炼的。

有一次，我要到较远的地方参加集体活动，便发信息询问一位同修是否有顺风车可以搭乘。同修回复说，她自己也是坐别人的车去的，随后指出我平时与人相处时有指责别人、要求别人，自己做不到时又说别人的问题，性格也比较强势。

看到这些话，我心里很不好受。我觉得自己只是问有没有座位，怎么反而谈起了我的性格？我也回想自己与这位同修平时相处得还可以，为什么她会这样看我？当时，我的第一反应是觉得委屈，有些不理解。

过了一会儿，我慢慢静下心来，想到自己是修炼人，遇到矛盾应该先向内找。我开始反思：平时与同修相处时，我是不是有时说话不注意？是不是认为自己的出发点是好的，就忽略了别人的感受？同修的提醒也让我有机会重新审视自己。

我逐渐认识到，别人怎么看我并不是最重要的，重要的是自己是否真的存在这些问题。如果存在，就应该改变，而不是一听到别人说自己不好，就觉得委屈，急于辩解。即使当时不能完全理解对方的话，也可以先放下自己的情绪，看看自己有哪些地方需要改进。

于是，我回复同修：“谢谢你的提醒，以后我会注意。”发出信息后，心里反而轻松了一些。我体会到，当自己不再一味想着解释和证明自己，而是愿意接受提醒、反思自己时，心态就会发生变化。不过，接受提醒不能只停留在口头上，还要在日常相处中留意自己的言行，真正改变自己。

师父在《转法轮》中开示：

“都是常人中的状态，谁今天惹你了，谁惹你生气了，谁对你不好了，突然间对你出言不逊了，就看你怎么对待这些问题。”

师父的法让我认识到，遇到矛盾时，不能只看别人怎么对待自己，更要看看自己的心动了没有。当听到不爱听的话时，自己是否急于辩解？是否只希望别人看到自己的好，却不愿意面对自己的不足？

师父在《二零零六年加拿大法会讲法》中开示：

“常人所有不好的心，你各种执着，你都得放下去。怕人说，是不是个执着？光想听好听的，这怎么可能呢？就是要说点你不爱听的，看你会不会动心。”

回想这件事，我很感谢同修的提醒，让我看到自己以前可能没有注意到的问题，这也让我想起师父在《洪吟三》〈谁是谁非〉中开示：

“修炼人
自找过
各种人心去的多　
大关小关别想落　
对的是他
错的是我
争什么”

我认识到，修炼人遇到问题时，首先应该想到的不是“别人为什么这样对我”，而是自己还有哪些地方没有做好。向内找不是口头上说一说，而是要在矛盾中真正放下自我，从自己的思想和言行中查找不足，并在以后的相处中逐步改正。只有这样，才能把遇到的矛盾转化为提高自己的机会。

第二部分：在魔难中守住正念

多年来，我曾有过几次意外摔倒的经历。回想当时的情景，这些突如其来的考验至今还让我印象深刻。每次事后回想，我都对师父的慈悲保护充满感恩，也促使自己反思修炼中还有哪些不足。

第一次摔倒，是我下班后骑自行车回家时。当时我在下坡转弯时突然向前摔了出去。事情发生得很快，我心里的第一念就是：“我是修炼人，没事。”

爬起来后，我看到自行车倒在身后，腿部关节有些淤青，头部着地时也听到一声响，但没有感到其他异常，便扶起自行车骑回家。这次意外让我感到事情发生得很突然，也让我开始反思自己在日常生活中是否还有需要注意和改进的地方。

第二次摔倒是在三年前。那时，我独自到居民区投放真相资料。那天天气炎热，走了很长时间，我虽然感到疲劳，但想到民众能早些拿到资料、了解真相， 还是很高兴，也鼓励自己坚持下去。

就在一条街上转身时，我突然脸朝地面摔倒，感觉身后似乎有一股力量推了我一下。当时我的头脑很清醒，心里想到：“我是大法弟子！没事！”

我立即爬起来，发现左手擦破了一点皮，正在流血，便摸了摸脸，确认没有受伤。那一刻，我再次感恩师父的保护。

第三次摔倒是在今年初。我在外地准备出门去机场时，因为地面积雪，一脚滑倒，整个人仰面摔在地上。身旁的两位同修都吓了一跳，我立即发出一念：“我是修炼人！没事！”同修一边一个把我扶起来，关心地问我怎么样。我回答说：“没事！”

回顾这三次经历，我体会到，遇到突发情况时，

自己的第一念很重要。我当时想到的是：“我是修炼人！没事！”每次平安走过来，我都感恩师父的慈悲保护。同时，我也提醒自己，不能因为有师父的保护就放松对自己的要求，更不能只在事情发生后才想到反思。

这些经历促使我思考，自己是否还有许多没有修好的地方，是否在平时的修炼中做得不够。修炼不能抱有侥幸心理，也不能因为事情看似意外而忽略深入查找自己的不足。今后，我要更加严格地用修炼人的标准要求自己，在日常生活中注意自己的思想和行为，及时查找不足，不断提高自己，走好正法修炼的路。

第三部分：在突破人念中坚定救人的信心

从2000年开始，我一直参与本地市中心的固定真相点，向民众讲真相。多年来，我一直坚持参与这个项目，但在过程中也逐渐发现，自己并不是始终保持着最初的热情。有时到了活动时间就照常出门，做事变得按部就班，甚至有些麻木。出门前偶尔会感到孤单、辛苦，甚至不太想去。

可是到了现场，看到民众主动接资料、了解真相，或在明白真相后表示支持，我的心态就会改变，感到自己今天来对了，也重新找回了最初的热情。

这使我开始反思：为什么坚持了这么多年，自己有时还会感到麻木，甚至不想出门？我认识到，这与自己的懒惰心和求安逸的心有关。熟悉了每天要做的事，就容易把坚持当成习以为常，忘了珍惜每一次救人的机会。

我体会到，修炼不能只是机械地完成事情，更要时刻保持正念，记住自己为什么去真相点。即使每天只有一个人来接资料、了解真相，也值得我用心去做。当我能够突破懒惰和安逸，真正走出去时，救人的信心也会更加坚定。

随着自己继续参与，我又遇到了新的考验。因为不会英语，当民众提出问题时，我常常无法回答和解释，心里很苦恼，甚至怀疑自己是否适合继续留在这里，一度产生了打退堂鼓的念头。

但想到这个地方每天有许多民众来往，如果我离开，而当时又没有其他同修在这里，这个位置就可能空下来，少了一个让民众接触资料、了解真相的机会，我又有些放不下。

在想离开与不愿离开之间，我的思想反复摇摆。一方面担心自己能力有限，另一方面又不愿因为自己的困难而放弃这个救人的机会。

后来，我慢慢静下来，用法理对照自己。我认识到，语言上的困难确实存在，但真正让自己动摇的，还有顾虑心和怕困难的心。如果因为不会英语，就认为自己做不了、应该离开，其实也是在用人的标准衡量事情。我开始明白，不能只因为自己有做不到的地方，就否定自己还是可以做好的事情。

于是，面对想了解真相的民众，我不再只想着自己讲不出来，而是尽力用自己能做到的方式帮助对方。我把资料递给他们，请他们仔细阅读，也坦诚地说明自己不会英语。

让我感动的是，很多民众都很理解，有人拍拍我的肩膀说没关系，有人向我竖起大拇指。这些善意的回应让我看到，即使自己的能力有限，只要不是因为困难而退缩，还是可以尽力做好自己能做的事。这段经历也让我重新思考，自己是否总是先看到做不到的地方，却忽略了自己还是可以付出的部分。

在克服语言困难的同时，我在讲真相的过程中也遇到过其他考验。有些中国人接过资料后，一边走一边撕掉；有的人用恶狠狠的眼神瞪我，甚至说出威胁的话。遇到这些情况时，我心里也会害怕、紧张，甚至产生退缩的念头。

但随着不断学法、对照自己，我逐渐认识到，不能因为别人的一个举动、一个眼神或几句威胁，就让自己动摇。真正需要面对和克服的，是自己遇到这些情况时产生的怕心。想到还有许多民众需要了解真相，我就提醒自己不能忘记来真相点的初衷，不能因为一时的压力和干扰而放弃。

回顾这些年的经历，我逐渐认识到，表面上是在克服活动中的困难，实际上也是在面对和修去自己的执着。从最初的懒惰、求安逸，到因为语言困难而犹豫，再到面对恶意时产生怕心，每一种情况都让我看到自己还有哪些地方需要提高。只有在遇到问题时不断向内找，才能逐步突破自身的障碍，更加坚定地做好救人的事。

师父在《远离险恶》中开示：

“不要以为你讲真相了，参加大法的活动了，参加了大法的项目了，就是为大法为师父做了什么了。那是师父叫你们互相救助，互相救人的同时度自己，这是末后众生互相救。这不是为大法做。”

“大法弟子传真相的目地是圆满自己的同时也在魔难中磨练自己从而消业，这使修炼更有意义更伟大。这也不是为大法做，是为修炼人自己在做。”

师父的这段法让我更加明白，参与救人项目不等于自己就修好了自己。救人的同时，也要不断修去自身的执着，在困难和考验中提高自己。坚持做事固然重要，但也要在过程中真正修炼自己，不能只停留在做了多少事情上。

回顾这些年的修炼，我看到自己在矛盾和困难面前还有需要提高的地方。今后，我要更加珍惜师父赐予的修炼机会，在法中不断修正自己，坚定地做好救人的事，不辜负师父的慈悲苦度。

以上是我有限层次的交流，不足之处，敬请同修慈悲指正。

谢谢师尊！

谢谢同修！

English Translation:

Cherishing the Precious Opportunity to Cultivate

L Yq

Respected Master, greetings!

Fellow practitioners, greetings!

I am very happy to have this opportunity to share my cultivation experiences over the years. Looking back on this journey, I have experienced difficulties and confusion, as well as the joy of breaking through attachments and gaining a deeper understanding of the Fa. Whenever I discover my shortcomings amid conflicts and tests, and re-examine and change myself according to the Fa, I come to appreciate even more how precious this opportunity to cultivate is.

I would like to share my cultivation experiences with you in three areas.

Part One: Truly Looking Inward When Problems Arise

Tests in cultivation often appear in the small, everyday things we encounter. When problems arise, whether I can regard myself as a cultivator, put aside my emotions, and first look inward is something I need to continue cultivating.

On one occasion, I needed to travel quite a distance to attend a group activity, so I messaged a fellow practitioner to ask whether there was a car I could get a lift in. She replied that she was also travelling in someone else’s car. She then pointed out that, in my interactions with others, I sometimes criticised and made demands of people, yet when I could not meet the same standards myself, I would point out other people’s problems. She also said that I tended to be rather forceful in my manner.

Reading these words made me feel very uncomfortable. I thought I had simply asked whether there was a spare seat, so why was my personality being brought into the conversation? I also reflected that I generally got along quite well with this practitioner, so why did she see me this way? My first reaction was to feel aggrieved and somewhat confused.

After a while, I gradually calmed down and remembered that I was a cultivator and should look inward first when conflicts arise. I began to reflect: Was I sometimes careless in the way I spoke to fellow practitioners? Did I sometimes assume that, because my intentions were good, I could overlook other people’s feelings? Her reminder gave me an opportunity to examine myself again.

I gradually came to understand that how others see me is not the most important thing. What matters is whether I really have these shortcomings. If I do, I should change rather than feel wronged and rush to defend myself whenever someone points out something negative about me. Even if I cannot fully understand what the other person says at the time, I can first put aside my emotions and consider what I need to improve.

So I replied to the practitioner, “Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention to this in the future.” After sending the message, I actually felt more at ease. I realised that when I stop focusing on explaining and proving myself, and instead become willing to accept reminders and reflect on my shortcomings, my state of mind changes. However, accepting a reminder must not remain merely words. I also need to pay attention to my words and actions in everyday interactions and genuinely change myself.

Master taught in Zhuan Falun:

“Everything will assume the form of everyday situations, such as someone may have irritated you today, someone has upset you, someone has mistreated you, or someone suddenly speaks to you disrespectfully. It is to see how you will react to these issues.”

Master’s teaching helped me understand that when conflicts arise, I should not focus only on how others treat me. I should also examine whether my heart has been moved. When I hear something I do not like, am I eager to defend myself? Do I want others to see only my good points while being unwilling to face my shortcomings?

Master taught in Teaching the Fa at the 2006 Canada Fa Conference:

“Isn’t not wanting to hear criticism an attachment? You want to hear only pleasant things, but how could that be? [Arrangements are made] exactly to have others say unpleasant things and see if you are moved.”

Looking back on this incident, I am grateful for my fellow practitioner’s reminder, which helped me recognise problems I might not have noticed before. It also reminded me of Master’s teaching in Hong Yin III, in the poem “Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong”:

“As a cultivator
One always looks for one’s own faults
’Tis the Way to get rid of attachments most effectively
There’s no way to skip ordeals, big or small
[During a conflict, if you can remember:]
“He’s right,
And I’m wrong,”
What’s to dispute?”

I came to understand that when a problem arises, a cultivator should not first think, “Why is this person treating me like this?” Instead, I should ask myself what I have not done well. Looking inward is not simply something to say. It means genuinely letting go of self amid conflicts, examining the shortcomings in my thoughts and actions, and gradually correcting them in my future interactions. Only then can conflicts become opportunities for improvement.

Part Two: Maintaining Righteous Thoughts Amid Tribulations

Over the years, I have experienced several unexpected falls. Looking back, these sudden tests have left a deep impression on me. Each time I reflect on what happened, I feel deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate protection. These experiences have also prompted me to examine what I still need to improve in my cultivation.

The first fall happened when I was riding my bicycle home after work. As I was turning on a downhill slope, I suddenly fell forward. It happened very quickly, and my first thought was, “I am a cultivator. I am fine.”

After getting up, I saw my bicycle lying behind me. Some of the joints in my legs were bruised, and I had heard a sound when my head hit the ground. However, I did not notice any other unusual symptoms, so I picked up my bicycle and rode home. This accident made me realise how suddenly something can happen, and it also prompted me to reflect on whether there were things in my daily life that I needed to pay more attention to and improve.

The second fall happened three years ago. I was distributing truth-clarification materials by myself in a residential area. The weather was hot, and I had been walking for a long time. Although I felt tired, I was happy thinking that people could receive the materials sooner and learn the truth. I encouraged myself to keep going.

As I turned around on a street, I suddenly fell face-first onto the ground. I felt as though a force behind me had pushed me. My mind was clear, and I thought, “I am a Dafa disciple! I am fine!”

I immediately got up and discovered that the skin on my left hand had been scraped and was bleeding. I felt my face to make sure I had not injured it. At that moment, I was once again grateful for Master’s protection.

The third fall happened early this year. I was away from home and preparing to leave for the airport. Because the ground was covered with snow, my foot slipped and I fell backwards onto the ground. The two fellow practitioners beside me were startled. I immediately sent forth the thought, “I am a cultivator! I am fine!” One practitioner helped me up from each side and asked with concern how I was. I replied, “I’m fine!”

Looking back on these three experiences, I have come to realise how important the first thought is when something unexpected happens: “I am a cultivator! I am fine!” Each time I came through safely, I felt grateful for Master’s compassionate protection. At the same time, I remind myself that I must not relax my standards because I believe Master is protecting me. Nor should I wait until something happens before reflecting on myself.

These experiences have led me to consider whether there are still many aspects of myself that I have not cultivated well, and whether I have fallen short in my daily cultivation. I must not rely on luck in cultivation, nor overlook the need to examine my shortcomings deeply simply because something appears to have happened by accident. From now on, I need to hold myself to higher standards as a cultivator, pay attention to my thoughts and actions in everyday life, identify my shortcomings promptly, continually improve myself, and walk well the path of cultivation during Fa-rectification.

Part Three: Strengthening My Confidence in Saving People by Breaking Through Human Notions

Since 2000, I have consistently participated in a regular truth-clarification site in the city centre, where we explain the facts to the public. Over the years, I have continued to take part in this project, but I gradually noticed that I did not always maintain the same enthusiasm I had at the beginning. Sometimes, I would simply leave home when it was time for the activity and carry out my tasks routinely, even becoming somewhat numb to them. Before leaving, I would occasionally feel lonely and tired, or even reluctant to go.

However, once I arrived at the site and saw people willingly accepting our materials, learning the truth, or expressing support after understanding the facts, my state of mind would change. I would feel that coming that day had been worthwhile, and I would rediscover the enthusiasm I had at the beginning.

This made me reflect: Why, after so many years of persistence, did I sometimes still feel numb or even reluctant to leave home? I realised that this was related to my laziness and desire for comfort. When we become familiar with our daily tasks, it is easy to take our persistence for granted and forget to cherish every opportunity to save people.

I came to understand that cultivation is not simply about mechanically completing tasks. I must maintain righteous thoughts at all times and remember why I go to the truth-clarification site. Even if only one person comes to accept materials and learn the truth that day, it is still worth making a sincere effort. When I can overcome laziness and the desire for comfort and genuinely go out to participate, my confidence in saving people becomes stronger.

As I continued participating, however, I encountered another test. Because I could not speak English, I often could not answer or explain things when members of the public asked questions. This troubled me greatly. I even wondered whether I was suited to continue working at the site, and for a time I considered giving up.

But then I thought about how many people passed through this location every day. If I left and no other fellow practitioner was there at the time, this spot might be left unattended, reducing people’s opportunities to encounter our materials and learn the truth. I found it difficult to let go of the responsibility.

My thoughts repeatedly wavered between wanting to leave and being unwilling to leave. On the one hand, I worried that my abilities were limited. On the other hand, I did not want to give up this opportunity to save people simply because I faced difficulties.

Later, I gradually calmed down and examined myself against the Fa. I realised that the language barrier was real, but what truly caused me to waver were also my concerns and fear of difficulties. If I assumed that I could not do the work and should leave simply because I could not speak English, I was measuring the situation by the standards of an ordinary person. I began to understand that I should not dismiss everything I could still do well simply because there were things I could not do.

So, when members of the public wanted to learn the truth, I stopped focusing only on my inability to explain things verbally and instead did my best to help them in whatever way I could. I handed them the materials, encouraged them to read them carefully, and honestly explained that I could not speak English.

What touched me was that many people were understanding. Some patted me on the shoulder and said it was all right, while others gave me a thumbs-up. Their kind responses helped me see that even if my abilities were limited, I could still do my best as long as I did not retreat in the face of difficulties. This experience also made me reconsider whether I had always focused first on what I could not do while overlooking what I could still contribute.

While overcoming the language barrier, I also encountered other tests when clarifying the truth. Some Chinese people took the materials and tore them up as they walked away. Others glared at me with hostile expressions and even made threatening remarks. In these situations, I sometimes felt afraid and nervous, and even had thoughts of backing away.

However, through continually studying the Fa and examining myself against it, I gradually realised that I must not allow a person’s action, a hostile look, or a few threatening words to shake me. What I truly needed to face and overcome was the fear that arose within me in such situations. Thinking of the many people who still needed to learn the truth, I reminded myself not to forget why I had come to the truth-clarification site in the first place, and not to give up because of temporary pressure or interference.

Looking back on these years, I gradually came to understand that, on the surface, I was overcoming difficulties in carrying out the activities, but in reality, I was also confronting and removing my own attachments. From laziness and the pursuit of comfort at the beginning, to hesitation because of the language barrier, and then to fear when facing hostility, each situation revealed areas in which I still needed to improve. Only by continually looking inward when problems arise can I gradually break through my own barriers and become more steadfast in doing the work of saving people.

Master taught in Stay Far Away from Peril:

“Don’t think that just because you’ve clarified the truth, attended some Dafa activities, or participated in Dafa projects that you’ve done something for Dafa or for Master. That’s Master telling you to mutually save and help each other, to save others while saving yourself—this is sentient beings saving each other at the end times. This is not done for Dafa’s sake. ”

“The purpose of Dafa disciples spreading the truth is to be able to temper themselves amid tribulations and thus shed karma while consummating themselves, and this makes practicing cultivation even more meaningful and magnificent. This isn’t done for Dafa, either; it’s done for the cultivators themselves. ”

These teachings from Master have helped me understand more clearly that participating in projects to save people does not mean that I have already cultivated myself well. While saving people, I must also continually remove my own attachments and improve myself through difficulties and tests. Persisting in carrying out tasks is important, but I must also genuinely cultivate myself throughout the process rather than focusing only on how much I have done.

Looking back on my cultivation over the years, I can see that I still have room to improve when facing conflicts and difficulties. From now on, I will cherish even more the cultivation opportunities bestowed upon me by Master, continually correct myself according to the Fa, remain steadfast in doing the work of saving people, and not disappoint Master, who has compassionately endured so much to save us.

The above reflects my limited understanding at my current level. Please kindly point out anything that is inappropriate.

Thank you, Master!

Thank you, fellow practitioners!

在协调放映真相电影中的修炼体悟 (AM 1st sharing)

H. S.

慈悲伟大的师尊好！

各位同修大家好！

时间飞快，转眼间2026年已过大半。在此回顾我过去一年的修炼历程，向師尊匯報，與同修分享。

第一部分：遇到矛盾向内找，在学法中真正提高

《坚不可摧》开始线上放映后，我悟到，这部纪录片既可讲清中共跨国镇压真相，也是墨尔本同修加强整体配合的好机会。之後的全球放映交流給我很大啟發，这部纪录片更可以成为推广神韵演出的利器。我和同修把相关情况在青年学法小组做了更新，便开始了墨尔本的放映筹备工作。

这个新项目，涉及多个环节，加上团队临时组建，实际推进中难免出现沟通和配合上的问题。一次，一项推广设计迟迟没有進展，我心里對其中一位負責人产生了抱怨。在线上会议中，該同修又针对某任务反复提问，我觉得他完全可以自己查资料而不是在這裡浪費大家的時間，因此直接对该同修发起火来。

師父在《大法弟子必须学法》中開示：

“所以我过去讲，大法弟子作为一个修炼人，看问题和人应该是反过来的。有的人觉的碰到不高兴的事了就不高兴了，那你不就是个人吗？有什么区别呢？碰到不高兴的事的时候，正好是你修自己的时候、修心的时候。”

静下心来向内找，我看到自己当时的表现很不善。

首先我觉得自己在电影放映项目上付出很多，既带着大家做，也承担了很多琐碎的事务，因此理所当然的认为 “我付出的多，大家就应该按我的想法来配合”。當這種希望別人配合自己的心被不同意見衝擊時，那顆不平衡的心就跳了出來。

一次大组学法中，同修交流到师父在《转法轮》“妒嫉心”一节中多次講到“心里不平衡”的法。我悟到，原來自己一直放不下的不平衡，与妒嫉心有关。继续向内找，我找到了自己的真实想法：当时这名同修在放映项目中不如我承担的多，但有时他会指点评价，这次又反复提出要求和问题，我颇為不服，总想用我的理来說服他。想到这兒我又看到了自己的争斗心！正如师父在《转法轮》中開示：

“真正修道的人当中也有这个反映，互相之间不服气，争斗心不去，也容易产生妒嫉心。”

我很惊讶，這顆心包装的如此隱蔽，是被自认为的正念正行参与项目的修炼状态所掩盖。感恩师父的点化！

我还找到自己有颗证实自我的心。我希望通过把项目做好，证明自己的想法和能力。可我的能力本身就是师父给的。一个项目能够顺利完成，离不开參與同修的共同付出和整体配合。如果把正法项目中的成绩归到自己身上，證實自我，那岂不是贪天之功吗？

在發生冲突后的一次大组学法中，我读到师父在《转法轮》第三讲中〈老师给了学员一些什么〉的一段法：

“真正修炼就得对你负责任，这些人自修也同样可得，但必须是真修的，我们把这些东西都给真修者。我讲了，得真正把你当弟子带的。”

我读到这里，眼泪在眼眶中打转。师父把我们当真正的弟子，为我们负责，也为我们铺好了修炼的路。那么，我是不是真正的真修弟子？我有没有真正按照法的要求修自己？

我随后在大组交流中坦诚交流了自己的问题，并向同修道歉。这个过程让我认识到，修炼不是看誰做了多少事情、参加了多少项目，修炼人只有学好法才能在矛盾中找自己，去掉执著。

师父在《二零一五年纽约法会讲法》中開示：

“有人在修炼上看上去很精進，也在学法，也在炼功，可是哪，不向内找。不向内找啊，大家想想，那不就是常人嘛。常人谁向内找啊？常人哪有向内找的？碰到任何矛盾，我得想想我自己哪错了，真的想明白了，跟人家说声对不起。”

这次矛盾让我更清楚：真正的向内找，不只是知道道理，而是在事情发生时，能不能把自己当作修炼人。只有不断学好法、修好自己，才能在每一次过关中真正提高。

第二部分：比学比修，找回修炼如初的状态

在筹备纪录片《坚不可摧》的初期，有同修提议大家每天在群里更新自己的学法、炼功和发正念情况。起初，我只是把它当成一项任务，觉得每天完成就好，并没有认真从修炼的角度去认识。

坚持了一段时间后，我慢慢感受到，这种看似形式上的坚持，实际上是在提醒自己把修炼真正落实到每天。几个星期、一个多月下来，我发现自己在遇到矛盾时，能够比以前更快的想到向内找。

我越来越发现，自己平时很多想法其实都是常人的观念：怎么看同修、怎么判断事情，往往不自觉的夹杂着自己的执着。通过持续学法，我开始提醒自己，遇到问题首先应该问：“我哪里不对啦？还有什么执着没有放下？”

这段时间，我有时学《转法轮》，有时读《洪吟》和师父的其他经文。随着不断学法，我越来越感受到师父对弟子的慈悲与看护。有时读着读着就流下眼泪，那种感受很难用语言表达，我很清楚，师父一直在给弟子机会、加持和看护。

我也认识到，师父把修炼提高的机会安排在我们的日常生活当中。工作、学习、生活，与同修配合、面对矛盾，经历的一件件琐事和烦恼，其实都是为了帮助我们提高。而坚持学法、炼功、发正念，不仅仅是为了群内情况更新，更是让我们增添正念且每天能保持好的修炼状态。只有把法真正放在心里，遇到问题时才能向内找，在心性考验中去掉人心执着，做到实修。

在推广过程中，有几位青年同修在看到需要分担的工作量很大时，每次都能默默的配合并积极主动的完成电影推广的各项具体工作，让项目按计划顺利进展。

这些同修的默默付出让我看到他们可贵的修炼状态：珍惜身边的有缘人及每一次讲真相的机会；面对整体的需要不是等别人的安排，而是主动承担、配合，不仅是“我要做什么”，而是“要我做什么”。

来到海外二十多年，我一直参与在讲真相的第一线，也参与了不少大法项目，可讲真相对我已变成一些项目中的例行习惯，缺少了使命感和责任感；而在圆容整体上，我更期待的是别人能配合我，而不是我配合别人。

我开始重新思考什么是圆容配合。在大法项目中，个人能力固然重要，但更重要的是能不能放下自我，主动承担。如果每位同修都能视自己为大法中的一个粒子，那汇聚起来的才是整体的力量。

师父在《洪吟一》<实修>中開示：

学法得法
比学比修
事事对照
做到是修

我悟到，不是比谁做的多、谁参与的项目重要，而是看到同修的精進状态，反观自己、找到不足并修自己。

第三部分：误解中修自己，结善缘 ，传真相

放映电影筹备期间，我们联系了不少社会各界人士，包括一位颇具影响力的嘉宾。影片结束、问答刚开始时，有一位嘉宾和我沟通，因为他误解了我们对他的活动安排，因此感到非常不满。

我第一念觉的很不可思议， 我以为我一开始邀请他时已经解释清楚了，为什么现在产生了这个误解呢？因此在问答期间， 我想把他请到场外向他解释清楚。可突然， 我头脑中想起了师父在《对澳洲学员讲法》中的法理，我悟到：修炼人和常人闹矛盾，肯定是大法弟子的错，于是我先放下情绪，主动向他承认是我没有做好。

活动结束后，我更当面坦承自己在邀请过程中考虑不周。可他并没有打算缓和局面，而是愤愤的离开了。第二天上午， 我又发短信给他表达了真诚歉意。

当晚，他主动给我打电话，说自己进一步了解了法轮功在海外所面对的问题，并给了我很多建议。不久前，我就关于跨国镇压的国会问询联络他时，他也表示，愿意以个人名义呈递自己所了解的事实，让更多人了解中共跨国镇压的真相。  

师父在《芝加哥法会》讲法中开示：

“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。”

从修炼人的角度看，一件看似不愉快的事情，可能正是让自己去掉执着、提高心性的机会。放下争辩、先向内找，事情却出现了转机。

经过团队的不懈努力，在纪录片《坚不可摧》墨尔本首映上，我们成功邀请到了来自不同领域的社会主流人士。

在电影放映后的会面中，一位议员主动提出帮助我们联系他熟悉的几个社区服务中心，推荐法轮大法义务教功活动；另一位则主动把我们介绍给本地团体，并鼓励我们将中共的渗透和跨国镇压等信息，传播给更多本地社团，集结正义的力量。

大法弟子在常人社会中修炼，而这个社会本身就是我们接触众生、讲清真相、证实大法的舞台。我们不能只是等待有缘人来到面前，而要主动走出去，在工作、生活和社区中广结善缘。

第四部分：去除维护自己的心 圓容整体

在两年前，我们开始了墨尔本每周一次的青年组面对面学法交流。小组成立初期，我也邀请在主流社会工作的同修来分享修炼心得，以及在工作和生活环境中讲真相的经历。每次学法后，青年同修们都积极交流，分享自己在生活、工作和大法项目中的修炼体悟。话题从个人修炼到整体配合，从家庭关到圆容周边环境。大家常常交流得十分投入，不知不觉便已深夜。同修们都非常珍惜这个学法交流的环境。一位全职工作的年轻妈妈曾说，每周最盼望的，就是周五晚上来和大家一起在法上交流。

长期的学法与交流，也让同修之间的配合越来越默契。两年来，大家在弘法项目中更加理解、包容和彼此支持。在师尊的加持下，青年同修各展所长，“八仙过海，各显神通”， 特别在社区洪法、讲真相及电影放映中主动参与，成为主力。

这次纪录片《坚不可摧》放映结束后，在青年组学法交流中，同修们提出了一些改进意见。一位同修把这次放映和去年纪录片《国有器官》的放映做了比较，并表示现场组织考虑不周，用的人力过多等。而我当时耳中听到的却全是同修言语间的指责，心中也随之泛起了波澜，心想：“去年是在社区、图书馆，这次是专业电影院放映，能一样吗？再说，让多一些同修参与，是让有条件的同修通过实践，日后会更成熟并主动承担。” 我甚至想：“你看到的只是现场活动中的一环，很多提前的准备、协调和沟通等工作你都没参与，根本不了解整个过程。”我几次试图插话解释，因此连同修发言都没完整听进去。

回家路上我问自己，为什么听到不同意见时第一念是解释；为什么没听完同修的意见就全部否定，而不是先想自己哪里需要提高？为什么一旦别人指出问题，先想到的是“他不了解情况”？为什么希望别人看到自己的付出，却不愿意面对不足？问着问着， 我看到了自己的执着。因为我做电影放映的时间长， 自认为比别人懂的多，从而第一时间就对同修意见加以排斥。这种心理让我无法正面汲取经验，片面理解同修的想法，自然也就看不到同修身上的闪光点和长处。

师父在《亚太地区学员会议讲法》中開示：

“要把大家都能够协调在一起，不断在法上提高，形成一个正的环境，使大法弟子讲清真相、救度众生、抑制迫害这些证实法的事情做的好。”

我悟到，整体配合过程中一定会有分歧，而在不同意见中相互提醒、补充，共同在法上提高，这就是修炼。有人发现问题、提出建议，也要有人虚心倾听、接受改进。若只愿听顺耳的话，却排斥让自己不舒服的意见，就很难真正形成一个圆容不破的整体。

向内找不是等到自己明白错了才找，而是在心里刚刚产生不平、委屈、急于解释的时候，就应该警觉。如果我真的修到了无条件向内找的境界，放下了只愿听好话的心，同修所谓“评价性”的发言也就不会在我心中形成负面影响了。

师父在《 二零零二年波士顿法会讲法》中開示：

“当然啦，矛盾出现时，有一些争论，我觉的也不一定是坏事，因为你在修炼中，就是要去掉你执著的心，在修炼中你就是要提高，那么就得表现出你那些个没去掉的常人之心来，把它去掉。”

现在回头看，同修就像一面镜子。当我觉的对方看的不全面时，也许真正需要面对的，恰恰是自己不愿意看到的一面。放下维护和证实自己的心，把不同意见当成修炼中的提醒，我想，这才是这次经历留给我最宝贵的收获。

结语

通过协调纪录片《坚不可摧》墨尔本首映，我深刻体会到，作为本地大法弟子，能够参与这样的项目，是一份珍贵的缘分和责任。我很珍惜与同修们的配合，在一次次的磨合中彼此提醒、共同提高，也一起把真相带给更多有缘人。也正是在这个过程中，我一次次看到自己的不足，在矛盾中向内找，在法上提高。

最后，我想以师父在《 二零一五年美国西部法会讲法》中的一段讲法与同修共勉：

“现在人都得表态，大法弟子在讲真相中、在救人中，那个生命的表现就定下了他的未来。”

希望在今后修炼的路上，與同修比学比修，共同精進，救度更多的众生。

以上交流因层次有限， 难免有不当之处， 请同修慈悲指正。

感恩师尊！

谢谢同修！

Cultivation Realisations While Coordinating Screenings of a Truth-Clarifying Film

H. S.

Greetings, compassionate and great Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!

Time flies, and more than half of 2026 has already gone by. I’d like to look back over my cultivation journey of the past year, report to Master and share with my fellow practitioners.

Part One: Looking within when conflicts arise, and truly improving through studying the Fa

After the online screenings of Unbroken began, I realised that this documentary could both clarify the truth about the CCP’s transnational repression and be a good opportunity for Melbourne practitioners to strengthen their overall cooperation. The global screening sharing meeting that followed inspired me greatly, and I saw that the film could also become a powerful tool for promoting Shen Yun performances. A fellow practitioner and I updated the youth Fa-study group on the situation, and then began preparing for screenings in Melbourne.

This new project involved many different steps, and because the team was put together at short notice, communication and coordination problems were bound to come up as we went. On one occasion, a promotional design had stalled for a long time, and I developed resentment for one of the people responsible. In an online meeting, that practitioner repeatedly asked questions about a task. I felt he could easily have looked up the information himself rather than waste everyone’s time, so I lost my temper at him directly.

Master taught in Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa:

“I have thus said before that Dafa disciples, being cultivators, should view problems in the opposite manner from how human beings do. Some people are unhappy when they meet with unpleasant things. Then aren’t you a human being? How are you any different? When you encounter unpleasant things, it is precisely time to cultivate yourself, to cultivate your mind.”

When I calmed down and looked within, I saw that my behaviour at the time had been very unkind. Even if the way the practitioner asked his questions was inappropriate, my first reaction shouldn’t have been to reject and oppose him. Digging deeper, I found that I felt a sense of unfairness.

First, I felt I had put a lot into the film screening project, both leading everyone and taking on plenty of fiddly tasks, so I took it for granted that “I’ve contributed more, so everyone should cooperate according to my ideas.” When this hope for others to cooperate with me ran up against differing opinions, that sense of unfairness popped out.

During a group Fa-study session, a fellow practitioner shared about the passages in the “Jealousy” section of Zhuan Falun where Master speaks of “finding things unfair” multiple times. I realised that the sense of unfairness that I’d never been able to let go of was connected to jealousy. As I kept looking within, I found what I was really thinking: this practitioner had taken on less than me in the screening project, yet sometimes he gave directions and comments, and this time he’d repeatedly made demands and raised questions. I felt quite annoyed and was unwilling to accept his views, so I kept trying to convince him that my reasoning was right. Thinking of this, I saw my competitive mentality as well! As Master taught in Zhuan Falun,

“This also occurs among true cultivators, for mutual disrespect and not eliminating the attachment to competitiveness can both easily lead to jealousy.”

I was surprised at how well this attachment had been disguised, hidden behind what I took to be a cultivation state of righteous thoughts and actions in the project. I’m grateful to Master for enlightening me!

I also found that I had an attachment of validating myself. I hoped that by doing the project well, I could prove my ideas and abilities. But everything I’m capable of was given to me by Master in the first place. A project can only be completed smoothly through the combined effort and overall cooperation of all the practitioners involved. If I credited the achievements of a Fa-rectification project to myself in order to validate myself, wouldn’t that be taking credit for what the Heavens have accomplished?

During a group Fa-study session after the conflict, I read a passage in Lecture Three of Zhuan Falun, in the section “What Has Teacher Given to Students?”:

“If you are truly cultivating, we must be responsible to you. Those self-taught cultivators will also obtain the same things, but they must be genuine cultivators. We give all these things to true cultivators. I have said that I must truly treat you as my disciples.”

As I read this, tears welled up in my eyes. Master treats us as true disciples, takes responsibility for us, and has laid out the path of cultivation for us. So am I a true cultivator? Have I really been cultivating myself according to the requirements of the Fa?

I then spoke honestly about my problems in the group sharing and apologised to the fellow practitioner. This process helped me realise that cultivation isn’t about who has done how much work or how many projects they’ve joined. Only by studying the Fa well can a cultivator look within when conflicts arise and let go of attachments.

Master taught in Fa Teaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference:

“Some people appear to be quite diligent as they cultivate, studying the Fa and doing the exercises, but they don’t look within. But if you don’t look within, think about it, aren’t you an ordinary person then? Does any ordinary person look within? Which ordinary person can look within? Suppose someone tries to reflect on where he did wrong in any disagreement he comes across, and apologizes to the other party after figuring things out…”

This conflict made it clearer to me that truly looking within isn’t just about knowing the principle. It’s about whether I can treat myself as a cultivator when things actually happen. Only by consistently studying the Fa well and cultivating myself well can I truly improve through each trial.

Part Two: Let each and every thing be measured against the Fa, and keep going with the same heart from the beginning all the way to the end

In the early stages of preparing for Unbroken, a fellow practitioner suggested that everyone post a daily update in the group chat on their Fa-study, exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. At first I treated it simply as a task. I figured it was enough to tick it off each day, and I didn’t think about it seriously from a cultivation perspective.

After keeping it up for a while, I gradually came to feel that this seemingly formal routine was actually reminding me to put cultivation into practice every day. After several weeks, then over a month, I noticed that when conflicts arose, I could think of looking within faster than before.

I gradually realised that many of my everyday thoughts were really everyday people’s notions. How I saw fellow practitioners and how I judged things were often mixed, without my realising, with my own attachments. Through studying the Fa consistently, I began reminding myself that when a problem comes up, the first thing to ask is: “Where did I go wrong? What attachments haven’t I let go of yet?”

During this period, I sometimes studied Zhuan Falun, and sometimes read Hong Yin and Master’s other teachings. As I kept studying the Fa, I felt more and more of Master’s compassion and care for his disciples. Sometimes I’d be reading and find tears running down my face. The feeling is hard to put into words, but I knew clearly that Master has always been giving his disciples opportunities, support and protection.

I also realised that Master arranges opportunities for us to improve in our daily lives. Work, study, family life, cooperating with fellow practitioners and facing conflicts, all the small matters and worries we go through, are in fact there to help us improve. And keeping up with Fa-study, the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts is not just for the sake of the group updates. It strengthens our righteous thoughts and helps us keep a good cultivation state every day. Only when we truly hold the Fa in our hearts can we look within when problems arise, let go of human attachments during xinxing tests, and cultivate in a solid way.

During the promotion work, when a few young practitioners saw how large the workload was, they quietly cooperated every time and took the initiative to complete the many specific tasks of promoting the film, which kept the project running smoothly and on schedule.

Their quiet dedication showed me their admirable cultivation state: they cherish the people with a predestined relationship around them and every chance to clarify the truth. Faced with what the whole group needed, they didn’t wait to be assigned tasks but stepped up and cooperated. Their attitude was not “What do I want to do?” but, “What needs to be done, and what am I needed to do?”

I’ve been overseas for more than twenty years and have been on the front line of clarifying the truth the whole time, and I’ve taken part in quite a few Dafa projects. But clarifying the truth had become a routine habit in some projects for me, lacking a sense of mission and responsibility. And when it came to harmonising our group as a whole, I was more hoping that others would cooperate with me than that I would cooperate with them.

I began to rethink what harmonising cooperation really means. In Dafa projects, personal ability certainly matters, but what matters more is whether I can let go of myself and take the initiative to shoulder responsibility. If every practitioner sees themselves as a particle of Dafa, then what comes together is the strength of the whole.

Master taught in “Solid Cultivation” in Hong Yin:

“Study the Fa and gain the Fa,

Focus on how you study and cultivate,

Let each and every thing be measured against the Fa.

Only then, with that, is it actually cultivation.”

I realised that it’s not about comparing who has done more or whose project is more important. It’s about seeing a fellow practitioner’s diligent state, then reflecting on myself, finding my shortcomings and cultivating myself.

Part Three: Cultivating myself through a misunderstanding, forming good connections and clarifying the truth

While preparing for the screening, we contacted quite a few people from different sectors of society, including a fairly influential guest. Just after the screening ended and the Q&A had begun, he came to speak with me. He had misunderstood the arrangements we’d made for his part in the event, and he was very unhappy about it.

My first reaction was disbelief. I thought I’d explained everything clearly when I first invited him, so why was there a misunderstanding now? During the Q&A, I wanted to ask him to come outside and explain things to him properly. But suddenly, I remembered a principle Master taught in Fa Teaching to Australian Practitioners, and I realised that when a cultivator has a conflict with an everyday person, the Dafa disciple must be at fault. So I put my emotions aside and took the initiative to admit to him that it was my fault.

After the event, I admitted to him face to face that I hadn’t been thorough enough with the invitation details. He had no intention of smoothing things over, though, and left angrily. The next morning, I sent him a text message expressing my sincere apology.

That evening, he rang me himself. He said he’d gained a deeper understanding of the problems Falun Gong faces overseas, and he gave me a lot of suggestions. Not long ago, when I contacted him about the parliamentary inquiry into transnational repression, he said he was willing to present the facts he knew in a personal capacity, so that more people could understand the truth about the CCP’s transnational repression.

Master taught in To the Chicago Fa Conference:

“Whatever you experience during your cultivation—whether good or bad—is good, for it comes about only because you are cultivating.”

From a cultivator’s perspective, something that seems unpleasant may be exactly the opportunity to let go of an attachment and raise one’s xinxing. When I put aside arguing and looked within first, things took a turn.

Thanks to the team’s tireless efforts, we successfully invited prominent members of the community from a range of fields to attend the Melbourne premiere of Unbroken.

In the conversations after the screening, one councillor from a city offered to connect us with several community service centres he knew, so we could introduce the free Falun Dafa exercise workshops. Another councillor introduced us to local groups and encouraged us to share information about the CCP’s infiltration and transnational repression with more local community organisations, to bring together the forces of justice.

Dafa disciples cultivate within ordinary society, and this society is itself the stage on which we reach sentient beings, clarify the truth and validate Dafa. We can’t just wait for predestined people to come to us. We need to go out proactively and form good connections widely, in our workplaces, our daily lives and our communities.

Part Four: Letting go of the attachment to defending myself, and harmonising one body

Two years ago, we began holding weekly face-to-face Fa-study and sharing sessions for the young practitioners group in Melbourne. When the group was first established, I also invited practitioners working in mainstream society to share their cultivation experiences, as well as their experiences of clarifying the truth in their workplaces and daily lives. After each Fa-study session, the young practitioners would share enthusiastically about what they had realised in cultivation in their daily lives, work and Dafa projects. Topics ranged from personal cultivation to cooperating as a whole, and from passing family tribulations to harmonising the environment around us. We were often so absorbed that it was late at night before we knew it. Everyone really cherished this environment for studying the Fa and sharing. One young mum who works full time once said that what she looked forward to most each week was coming along on Friday nights to share with everyone on the Fa.

Over time, studying the Fa and sharing together has also made our cooperation more and more seamless. Over these two years, everyone has become more understanding, tolerant and supportive of each other in Dafa projects. With Master’s support, the young practitioners have each shown their strengths, in the spirit of “the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own powers,” and have taken the initiative especially in promoting Dafa in the community, clarifying the truth and the film screenings, becoming the main force.

After the Unbroken screening, the practitioners put forward some suggestions for improvement at the youth practitioners’ group Fa-study and sharing. One practitioner compared this screening with last year’s State Organs screening, and said the on-site organisation hadn’t been thought through carefully enough and that too many volunteers had been involved. But all I could hear in my fellow practitioner’s words was criticism, and my heart began to stir. I thought to myself: “Last year’s screening was in a community venue and a library, and this time it was a professional cinema. How can they be compared? Besides, getting more practitioners involved lets those who are capable gain experience, so they’ll become more mature and take on responsibility themselves later.” I even thought: “You’ve only seen one part of what happened on the day. You weren’t involved in all the preparation, coordination and communication beforehand, so you don’t understand the whole process at all.” I tried several times to interrupt and explain myself, and as a result, I didn’t even fully take in what my fellow practitioner was saying.

On the way home, I asked myself: why, when I heard a different opinion, was my first thought to explain? Why did I reject the practitioner’s view entirely before even hearing it out, instead of first thinking about where I needed to improve? Why, as soon as someone pointed out a problem, did I immediately think, “He doesn’t know the situation.” Why did I want others to see how much I’d contributed, but not want to face my shortcomings? As I kept questioning, I saw my attachment. Because I’d been involved in film screenings for longer, I assumed I knew more than others and instinctively rejected my fellow practitioner’s feedback. This mindset prevented me from gaining the right insights from what had happened. As a result, I interpreted my fellow practitioner’s thinking one-sidedly and naturally failed to see their strengths and good qualities.

Master taught in Fa Teaching Given at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Practitioners:

“You need to coordinate in a way that allows people to work together, and you need to continually improve based on Fa and form a healthy environment, so that Dafa disciples can do well the things of validating Fa, like clarifying the truth, saving sentient beings, and restraining the persecution.”

I realised that disagreements are bound to arise when cooperating as one body, and that reminding and complementing one another amid differing opinions, and improving together on the Fa, is itself cultivation. When someone spots a problem and makes a suggestion, someone else has to listen humbly and be willing to improve. If I only want to hear pleasing words and push away opinions that make me uncomfortable, it’s very hard to form a truly all-harmonising-and-never-failing body.

Looking within doesn’t mean waiting until I understand I’m wrong. It means being alert the moment feelings of unfairness, hurt or an urge to explain begin to rise in my heart. If I had truly reached the level of looking within unconditionally and let go of the attachment to hearing pleasing words, then what my fellow practitioners said, however “evaluative” it sounded, wouldn’t have a negative effect on me.

Master taught in Fa Teaching at the 2002 Boston Fa Conference:

“Of course, I don’t think it’s necessarily bad that you have arguments when conflicts arise. That’s because in cultivation what you have to do is get rid of attachments, and in cultivation what you have to do is improve yourself. So those ordinary human attachments of yours have to be exposed so that you can get rid of them.”

Looking back now, fellow practitioners are like a mirror. When I feel the other person isn’t seeing things fully, what I really need to face may be exactly the side of myself I don’t want to see. Letting go of the attachment to defending and validating myself, and treating differing opinions as reminders in cultivation, is, I think, the most valuable thing I gained from this experience.

Conclusion

Through coordinating the Melbourne premiere of Unbroken, I’ve come to deeply appreciate that, as a local Dafa disciple, being able to take part in a project like this is both a precious predestined opportunity and a responsibility. I treasure cooperating with my fellow practitioners, reminding one another and improving together through the ups and downs of our cooperation, and bringing the truth to more people with a predestined relationship. It was also through this process that I saw my shortcomings again and again, looked within when conflicts arose, and improved on the Fa.

Finally, I’d like to share a passage from Master’s Fa Teaching at the 2015 West Coast Fa Conference as encouragement for us all:

“People now must give their stance. How a being acts as Dafa disciples clarify the facts and save people determines his or her future.”

I hope that, as we continue on our cultivation paths, we can learn from and encourage one another in studying the Fa and cultivating, strive diligently to improve together, and save more sentient beings.

Given my limited understanding at my current level of cultivation, there may inevitably be shortcomings in this sharing. I kindly ask my fellow practitioners to point them out with compassion.

Grateful to Master!

Thank you, fellow practitioners!
