在走入社区讲清真相中实修提高

在走入社区讲清真相中实修提高 (AM 6th shring)

J Y

尊敬的师父好!

各位同修大家好!

我是1996年在澳洲得法的大法弟子,在我们社区已经生活了近28年。最近一年多在商场和社区活动中与世人接触,对我来说不仅是洪法和讲清真相的过程,也是不断发现执着、改变自己、突破自己的修炼过程。许多过去没有意识到的执着,在与常人接触、与同修配合的过程中暴露出来,也让我对救人和修炼有了更深的体会。下面和大家分享这段时间的修炼心得。

第一部分:在为他人着想中建立信任

我是与各商场管理部门沟通的联系人。我很清楚,与他们建立信任关系,是我们能够长期在商场洪法、救人的重要基础。

世人如何看待我们,与我们的言行和修炼状态密切相关。不是我们说了什么,而是我们实际做了什么。我们的心性、修炼状态会从一言一行中表现出来。如果他们能感受到我们的真诚、善良、平和,以及为他人着想、服务社区的心,就会从我们的表现中看到大法的美好,也愿意支持我们。

这一年多来,我不断地向不同的商场申请免费的洪法展位,将顾客对学炼法轮大法的兴趣以及洪法活动照片反馈给每个商场的管理部门,并感谢他们的支持。每一封邮件,每一次见面,我都认真对待。即使彼此已经熟悉了,我也提醒自己不能放松要求,相处中本着谦卑和感恩的心态去对待身边的人。

慢慢地,我们与商场管理人员建立了信任。保安和其他工作人员对我们都很友善,有时因为其他大法活动需要调整时间,他们也会主动帮助我们。

师父在《精進要旨》〈佛性无漏〉中开示:

“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!”

我体会到,我们的行为也是真相。在一次次真诚的接触中,真心为他人着想,真正为众生考虑,世人就会通过我们认识到大法的美好。在救人的过程中,不断地同化大法,提升自己,救人这条路才会越走越宽。

第二部分:放下对结果的执着,珍惜与世人结缘的机会

在商场洪法时,每天有很多人经过展位,但真正停下来了解的人并不多。刚开始,我比较在意有多少人停下来、听了真相,又有多少人留下联系方式准备学功。

去年刚开始的几次洪法,就有将近七十人登记想学功。于是,我们在八月份安排了两次教功班。虽然用短信反复通知时间和地点,最后两次教功班却只来了一个人。

这件事对我触动很大。我开始向内找,发现自己有爱面子的心,有执着结果的心。我意识到这些思想不符合法,必须去掉。我们是在讲真相、救人,是在证实法,而不是证实自己有什么好的办法,有什么能力。只有修好自己,才能真正的救了人。

这件事之后,我悟到救人和修炼一样,重要的是过程。讲清大法真相才是我们要用心下功夫的地方。我们只有用纯净的心对待和珍惜每一位来到展位与大法结缘的世人。

一次,一位年轻女士带着五岁的孩子来到展位。她说自己17岁时曾在悉尼市区接过一份法轮功传单。当时她还小,并不了解法轮功。12年后再次遇到我们,她非常高兴了解了真相,表示愿意到网站进一步了解大法。

我很受感动。一份12年前接下的传单,今天又通过商场展位把缘分接上了。那一刻,我心中充满了对师尊的感恩。让我对“结缘”有了新的理解。我们不能只看眼前的结果。每一个生命都是珍贵的,每一次相遇都可能是世人得救的机缘。

还有一些人告诉我们,他们以前在其他商场见过我们,经过几次观察,才来到展位。他们说,看到我们炼功时,感觉很祥和、平静,能量场让人感到很舒服。

现在已有几千人在我们展位前了解了大法真相,与大法结了缘。有更多的人在一走一过中看到了大法的信息。我在商场多次被世人了解真相后的喜悦和感激所感动。心中充满对师尊的感恩。

师尊在《大纪元会议上讲法》中开示:

“你们一路就是这么走过来的,你们在哪方面走对了、走正了,关着的门就得开,路就会扩宽。”

通过以上经历,我对师父的这段法有了更深的理解。

第三部分:放下急于求成的心,学会站在对方的角度考虑

我们地区已经有10多年跟当地政府没有什么联系了。我心中非常自责,这么多年来没有用心接触当地政府了。我反思以前接触议员时,我们往往直接讲迫害、人权等真相,希望一次讲出尽可能多的内容,也希望对方能提供支持。结果,有些了解我们的议员反而开始回避,使得我们很难真正得到他们的理解和支持。

我一直在思考应该怎么去做好当地政府。2024年我负责约见过几位联邦议员,希望他们支持在两会递交的动议案。该动议呼吁澳大利亚政府采取行动,帮助制止中共对法轮功的持续迫害。

我们首先在当地社区征集地区和教堂民众的签名及神父们的连署签名。约见了几个联邦议员,面对面讲了法轮功真相,递交了当地民众的签名及多位神父的连署签名,表达了当地民众对这个动议案的支持。希望他们代表当地选民支持动议案。尽管他们接待了我们,也听了真相和我们表达的诉求,但动议案在下议院没有通过,在上议院没有被选出讨论。

自2024年来,我们跟当地政府一直在保持联系,尽量让他们了解我们。但开始在商场摆展位后,我悟到,我们可以从另一个角度接触当地议员。我们陆续与议员见面,在喝咖啡这样轻松的环境中,让他们了解我们正在做的事情,也听取他们的建议,同时自然地讲到大法真相。

有一次,我们为约见另一个市政府的议员,去参加了他们的例会,原本想在会议结束后直接约见他们。那天,他们正在给一位几十年来长期服务社区的人颁奖,颁奖词详细介绍了这位人士多年来对社区的贡献,并真诚地表达感谢。

听到这些,我意识到,这件事让我听到绝非偶然。我过去做事有些急于求成、急功近利。我们才刚刚开始为社区做了一些有益的事情,还没有让他们真正看到和感受到我们的真诚、善良以及服务社区的心,就想求得他们的肯定和认同。结果也许适得其反。所以,那一次我们没有马上约见他们,而是继续做好商场洪法,参加社区活动。

随着在社区活动中与议员不断的接触,他们逐渐看到了我们在做什么,也开始了解我们是什么样的人。我也提醒自己,要多听、多观察,根据不同人的情况交流。有时从社区活动谈起,有时谈中国传统文化,有时谈人权和迫害,有时则先表达善意和建立信任。

第四部分:突破顾虑,把想法落实到行动中

去年底,我开始关注脸书,发现许多活跃的社区团体和政府议员都会通过脸书发布活动信息。

在商场面对面洪法,每天经过展位的人虽然很多,但真正停下来了解真相的人毕竟有限。我开始思考,怎样让更多人通过在商场和社区洪法了解大法真相,我想到通过社交媒体做为一个拓展的窗口。

刚开始做脸书视频和帖子时,我有些担心商场经理是否能够接受我们把展位上的活动照片和视频发布出去。于是,我跟一位经常见面的商场经理说明自己的想法,希望更多人看到我们在免费教功、从中受益。没想到她非常支持,我的顾虑一下就放下了。我悟到,只要弟子有心去做,师父会把一切都安排好。

从五月初开始,我陆续在脸书上发布商场洪法活动的照片、视频和帖子。每场活动,我都会从一百多张现场照片中挑选,剪辑、撰写文字。认真用心做每一个视频,每一个帖子。希望看到的世人能够正面感受到大法的美好,以及社区民众对大法的支持。

帖子发布后,我会查看观看量和点赞的情况,了解世人喜欢什么内容,怎样才能让更多人的愿意看。为了让更多的人能够访问这个页面,就需要进一步丰富页面的内容。于是,我除了介绍我们地区的商场及社区的洪法活动外,也开始分享大法弟子在其他社区的活动情况。

我发现,越来越多的世人开始关注我们的页面。其中,大法弟子的舞蹈队和天国乐团的两个视频的总观看人数超过三万两千,总点赞人数超过三千三百。观看和点赞的人来自十多个国家和地区。

现在我们的视频和帖子观看和点赞人数不断地增多。这让我认识到,这条路是可行的。一个帖子或视频,不管有多少人关注,但有缘人都有可能看到。也许一个人偶然看到一张照片或一段文字,当时没有留意,但未来某一天,他可能会再次接触到大法,与大法结缘。

因此,我开始把我们的页面看成另一个与世人结缘的窗口。我明白,这对我个人来说也是在修炼上的一种突破。突破现有的状态。为了救人的需要,在做好原有事情的同时承担更多责任。我坚信只要自己有意愿去做,只要走在证实法的路上,师尊一定会加持弟子。

第五部分:克服安逸与畏难,主动提高自己

虽然我在澳洲生活了三十多年,但英文表达能力还是比较有限。长期以来,除了去讲真相的时候,我都不太愿意主动跟西方人交流,总觉得自己的英文能力不足,也没有真正想去突破。

曾经在商场推广神韵时,我有意识地提高英文能力,如阅读神韵网站的英文介绍、看观众反馈等;然而现在到商场面对世人需要讲清大法的真相时,我意识到原有的英文能力还不够,必须再进一步提高。

于是,除了阅读讲真相资料,我开始读英文《法轮功》和《大圆满法》,希望能用英文表达修炼方面的内容和自己对修炼的认识。做家务时,我也听英文《九评共产党》、《魔鬼在统治着我们的世界》以及干净世界的一些英文节目,慢慢培养自己的英文语感。

一段时间以后,我发现自己用英文表达时越来越自然了,面对不同的问题,也能够从不同角度进行交流了。面对各种肤色的人,不同年龄的人,我都不再感到陌生,跟他们交流的时侯就像跟亲人说话一样。我知道,这是师父在加持弟子,因为弟子有想要救人的心。

第六部分:向内找,放下自我,在整体配合中提高

这一年多做商场和社区洪法,也让我对配合有了更深的认识。

从去年七月到今年十月,我们做了73次免费的商场洪法活动,参加了3次社区活动,也参与了6次市政府举办的活动,接触了4个地方政府。数字本身并不重要,真正让我感受深的是,在这过程中如何与同修配合、如何修自己。

有时一天需要做两个商场,一个商场只有两个人承担。主要参与的四位同修平均年龄超过60岁,我自己也64岁了,一天站五个小时确实比较辛苦。在这样的环境中,我发现自己有一个比较明显的问题:看到别人做得不够好时,心里会埋怨,希望别人按照自己的方式做;事情不符合自己的想法时,心里也容易不舒服。

向内找以后,我发现真正需要改变的不是别人,而是自己。

每个人都有自己的特点,也有需要提高的地方。如果总盯着别人的不足,就容易产生埋怨和间隔;如果先看看自己还能多做什么,主动承担责任,很多事情反而会变得简单。

随着做的事情越来越多,大家的分工也逐渐明确。有的同修负责讲真相,有的炼功,有的拍照,彼此补充、互相支持。

我体会到,真正的配合不是要求别人改变,而是自己先放下自我,把整体放在前面。当自我少一些,对别人多一些理解和包容时,过去很在意的一些事情,慢慢也就没有那么重要了。

这一年多走入社区,我体会到,这一切并不是因为我们个人有什么能力,而是有师父的慈悲加持。也许我们从天上下来时,彼此之间有约,才有这一段一起证实大法、救度众生的机缘。

在救人的同时,我们也在修炼自己;只有不断修好自己,才能更好地完成自己的使命。

感恩慈悲伟大的师父给我们修炼和救人的机会!感恩同修之间彼此珍惜、互相配合!

最后,我想以师父《致参加台湾法会的大法弟子》中的一段法,与同修共勉:

“修炼是严肃的,是你们在兑现誓约,是生命的更新,是再造圣者的过程。无论生命来自何方,在这历史关键时刻,众生都在选择自己的未来。大法弟子就是要把得救的希望传递给人,把可救的生命带上回归之路。”

谢谢慈悲伟大的师尊!

谢谢同修!

English translation:

Genuinely Cultivate and Elevate Myself While Clarifying the Truth in the Community

J Y

Revered Master, greetings!

Hello, fellow practitioners!

I obtained the Fa in Australia in 1996 and have lived in my community for nearly 28 years. Over the past year or so, I have been engaging with people at shopping centres and community events. For me, this has been not only an opportunity to introduce Falun Dafa and clarify the truth, but also a process of continually recognizing my attachments, changing myself, and making breakthroughs in my cultivation.

Many attachments that I had not previously recognized have surfaced through interactions with everyday people and cooperation with fellow practitioners. These experiences have also deepened my understanding of saving people and cultivation.

I would like to share some of my cultivation experiences from this period.

Part One: Building Trust by Being Considerate of Others

I serve as the main point of contact with the management teams of various shopping centres. I understand clearly that building relationships of trust with them is an important foundation for our long-term efforts to introduce Falun Dafa and save sentient beings at these venues.

How people perceive us is closely related to our behavior and cultivation state. What matters is not what we say, but what we do. Our xinxing and cultivation state are reflected in our every word and action. If people can sense our sincerity, kindness, and calmness, as well as our consideration for others and our commitment to serving the community, they will see the beauty of Dafa through our conduct and be willing to support us.

Over the past year or so, I have continually applied for free information booths at different shopping centres. I have shared with each management team feedback about shoppers’ interest in learning Falun Dafa, along with photos of our outreach activities, and expressed my gratitude for their support. I take every email and every meeting seriously. Even when we have become familiar with one another, I remind myself not to lower my standards. I strive to treat those around me with humility and gratitude.

Gradually, we have built trusting relationships with shopping centre management. Security guards and other staff members have been friendly toward us. Sometimes, when other Dafa activities require us to adjust our schedules, they even take the initiative to help us.

Master teaches us in “Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature” of Essentials for Further Advancement:

“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.”

I’ve come to realize that our own conduct is also a way of clarifying the truth. Through our sincere interactions with people, by genuinely thinking of others and keeping sentient beings’ best interests at heart, we can help people see the beauty of Dafa through us. As we continue to assimilate ourselves to Dafa and improve our cultivation while saving people, the path of saving sentient beings will become wider.

Part Two: Letting Go of Pursuit of Results and Cherishing Every Opportunity to Form a Connection with Sentient Beings

When we promote Dafa at shopping centers, many people pass by our booth each day, but relatively few stop to learn more. At first, I was quite concerned about how many people stopped, how many listened to us explain the truth, and how many left their contact details because they wanted to learn the exercises.

During our first few truth-clarification activities last year, nearly 70 people signed up to learn the exercises. So we arranged two exercise classes in August. We sent repeated text messages reminding them of the times and locations, but in the end, only one person showed up across both classes.

This really struck me. I began to look within and realized that I had an attachment to saving face and an attachment to the pursuit of results. I understood that these thoughts were not in line with the Fa and that I needed to let them go. We are clarifying the truth and saving people; we are validating the Fa, not proving that we have good methods or special abilities. Only by cultivating ourselves well can we truly save people.

After this experience, I came to understand that, just as in cultivation, the process of saving people is what matters most. What we really need to put our hearts into is clarifying the truth about Dafa. We need to approach every person who comes to our booth with a pure heart and cherish every person who has come to form a connection with Dafa.

One day, a young woman came to our booth with her five-year-old child. She told us that when she was 17, she had received a Falun Gong flyer in downtown Sydney. She was still young at the time and didn’t really understand what Falun Gong was. Twelve years later, when she encountered us again, she was delighted to learn the truth and said she would visit our website to learn more about Dafa.

I was deeply moved. A connection that began with a flyer she had accepted 12 years earlier had been renewed through our booth at the shopping centre. At that moment, my heart was filled with gratitude to Master. It also gave me a new understanding of what it means by “predestined relationship.” We shouldn’t focus only on the immediate results. Every life is precious, and every encounter may be an opportunity for someone to be saved.

Some other people have told us that they had seen us at different shopping centres before and had watched us a few times before finally approaching our booth. They said that when they saw us doing the exercises, they felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and that the energy field around us felt very comfortable.

By now, thousands of people have learned the truth about Dafa at our booth and formed a connection with Dafa. Many more have seen information about Dafa as they passed by. Time and again at the shopping centre, I have been touched by the joy and gratitude people express after learning the truth. My heart is filled with gratitude to Master. I have come to a deeper understanding of Master’s teachings in “Fa Teaching Given at the Epoch Times Meeting” (Collected Teachings Given Around the World, Volume X):

“Your journey is one where if you can take correct, right steps, the doors before you that were once shut will open and the road will become wide.”

Part Three: Letting Go of the Desire for Quick Results and Learning to See Things From Others’ Perspectives

For more than 10 years, our local group had little contact with the local government. I felt deeply regretful. I realized that for all those years, I hadn’t made a sincere effort to reach out to our local government.

Looking back at how we used to approach elected representatives, I realized that we often went straight into explaining the persecution and human rights abuses, hoping to cover as much as possible in a single meeting and that they would offer their support. As a result, some representatives who already knew us began to avoid us, making it difficult for us to gain their genuine understanding and support.

I kept thinking about how we could do a better job of reaching out to our local government. In 2024, I was responsible for arranging meetings with several federal MPs to ask for their support for a motion submitted to both houses of Parliament. The motion called on the Australian government to take action to help end the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing persecution of Falun Gong.

We first gathered signatures from local residents across several communities, including churchgoers, as well as joint signatures from several priests. We then met with several federal MPs, explained the truth about Falun Gong face to face, and presented the signatures collected from local residents and the priests’ joint statement. We wanted to show that people in the community supported the motion and hoped the MPs would support it on behalf of their constituents. Although they met with us, listened to what we had to say, and heard our requests, the motion was not passed in the House of Representatives and was not selected for debate in the Senate.

Since 2024, we have maintained contact with our local government representatives and done our best to help them understand us. But after we began setting up booths at shopping centres, I came to see that there was another way to approach local MPs and councillors. We gradually arranged meetings with them in relaxed settings, such as over coffee. This gave them a chance to learn about what we were doing and share their suggestions, while also allowing us to introduce the truth about Dafa naturally.

On one occasion, we attended a council meeting in another local government area, hoping to arrange a meeting with one of the councillors afterward. That day, the council was presenting an award to someone who had served the community for decades. The citation gave a detailed account of the person’s contributions over the years and expressed sincere appreciation for their service.

As I listened, I realized there was a reason I had heard this that day. In the past, I had been too eager to get things done and too focused on achieving immediate results. We had only just begun doing some good things for the community, yet we already wanted the authorities to recognize and approve of us, before they had truly seen and felt our sincerity, kindness, and commitment to serving the community. That approach could easily backfire.

So, instead of trying to arrange a meeting with the councillors right away, we continued our efforts to introduce Dafa at shopping centres and took part in community events.

As we interacted with elected representatives more often at these events, they gradually began to see what we were doing and get a better sense of who we were. I also reminded myself to listen more, observe more, and adapt my approach to each person. Sometimes I would start by talking about community activities; other times, I would discuss traditional Chinese culture or human rights and the persecution. In some cases, the best place to begin was simply by showing goodwill and building trust.

Part Four: Overcoming Hesitation and Putting Ideas into Action

Toward the end of last year, I started paying attention to Facebook and noticed that many active community groups and local elected representatives used it to share information about their events.

Although many people passed by our booth each day when we introduced Dafa face to face at shopping centres, only a limited number stopped to learn the truth. I began thinking about how we could help more people learn the truth about Dafa through our activities at shopping centres and in the community. That was when I thought of using social media as another way to reach people.

When I first started making Facebook videos and posts, I was a little concerned about whether the shopping centre managers would be comfortable with us sharing photos and videos of our activities at the booth. So I explained my idea to a shopping centre manager I often saw, telling her that I hoped more people could see how we offered free instruction in the exercises and how people benefited from it. To my surprise, she was very supportive, and my concerns immediately fell away. I realized that as long as we, as Dafa disciples, sincerely want to do something, Master will arrange everything for us.

Starting in early May, I began posting photos, videos, and updates about our activities at shopping centres on Facebook. For each event, I would go through more than a hundred photos, select the best ones, edit the footage, and write the accompanying text. I put care and effort into every video and every post, hoping that people who saw them would gain a positive impression of the beauty of Dafa and the support it receives from the community.

After publishing each post, I would check the number of views and likes to understand what people were interested in and how we could encourage more people to engage with our content. I realized that if I wanted more people to visit the page, I needed to make its content more varied. So, in addition to sharing our local activities at shopping centres and in the community, I began posting about activities organized by Dafa disciples in other communities as well.

I noticed that more people were starting to follow our page. Two videos, one featuring the Dafa disciples’ dance troupe and the other the Tian Guo Marching Band, together received more than 32,000 views and over 3,300 likes. The viewers and people who liked the videos came from more than a dozen countries and regions.

The number of views and likes on our videos and posts continues to grow. This has shown me that social media is a viable way to reach people. No matter how many people see a particular post or video, someone who has a predestined relationship with Dafa may come across it. Perhaps someone will happen to see a photo or a few lines of text without paying much attention at the time. But one day, they may encounter Dafa again and form a connection with it.

I have therefore come to see our page as another channel through which people can form a connection with Dafa. I also understand that this has been a breakthrough in my own cultivation—a chance to move beyond my previous limitations. To meet the needs of saving sentient beings, I need to take on more responsibility while continuing to do the work I have already committed to. I firmly believe that as long as I am willing to act and keep walking the path of validating the Fa, Master will surely strengthen and support me.

Part Five: Overcoming Comfort and Fear of Difficulty to Improve Myself Proactively

Although I have lived in Australia for more than 30 years, my ability to express myself in English is still quite limited. For a long time, apart from when I went out to clarify the truth, I was reluctant to initiate conversations with Westerners. I always felt that my English wasn’t good enough, and I had never really made a determined effort to overcome this limitation.

When we promoted Shen Yun at shopping centres in the past, I made a conscious effort to improve my English by reading the English descriptions on the Shen Yun website and looking at audience feedback. But now that I was speaking face to face with people at shopping centres and needed to clarify the truth about Dafa, I realized that my existing English skills were not enough. I needed to improve further.

So, in addition to reading English truth clarification materials, I began reading the English editions of Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun, hoping to become more capable of expressing cultivation-related ideas and sharing my own understanding of cultivation in English. While doing housework, I also listened to the English versions of The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World, along with English-language programs on Gan Jing World. Little by little, I worked on developing a better feel for the English language.

After some time, I noticed that expressing myself in English was becoming more natural. I was also able to approach different questions from different angles and carry on more varied conversations. People of different ethnic backgrounds and ages no longer felt unfamiliar to me. Talking with them began to feel as natural as talking with family. I knew this was Master strengthening me because I had the sincere desire to save people.

Part Six: Looking Within, Letting Go of Ego, and Improving Through Working Together as One Body

Over the past year, my experience of introducing Dafa at shopping centres and in the community has also deepened my understanding of cooperation.

From July last year through October this year, we held 73 free exercise instruction sessions at shopping centres, participated in three community events, and took part in six events organized by local councils. We also reached out to four local governments. The numbers themselves are not what matters most. What left the deepest impression on me was how to work with fellow practitioners and cultivate myself throughout the process.

Sometimes we needed to run activities at two shopping centres in one day, with only two practitioners available to manage each booth. The four practitioners who participated most regularly were over 60 on average, and I was 64 myself. Standing for five hours a day in the shopping mall was certainly tiring. In these circumstances, I discovered an obvious problem in myself: when I felt others weren’t doing things well enough, I would become resentful and want them to do things my way. When things didn’t go according to my wishes, I would also feel uncomfortable.

When I looked within, I realized that the person who truly needed to change was not someone else, but me.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as areas where they need to improve. If I constantly focus on other people’s shortcomings, it is easy to develop resentment and create distance between us. But if I first ask myself what more I can do and take the initiative to shoulder responsibility, many things become much easier.

As our activities increased, we gradually became clearer about how to divide up the work. Some practitioners focused on clarifying the truth, others demonstrated the exercises, and others took photos. We complemented one another’s efforts and supported each other.

I came to understand that genuine cooperation does not mean expecting others to change. It means letting go of my ego first and putting the needs of the group as a whole ahead of my own. When I focus less on myself and show more understanding and tolerance toward others, things that once bothered me so much gradually become less important.

Over the past year, as I have gone out into the community more, I have come to realize that none of this is possible because of any special abilities we possess. It is all thanks to Master’s compassionate support. Perhaps we made vows together to do so before descending from heaven, which is why we have this opportunity to work together to validate the Fa and save sentient beings.

As we save people, we are also cultivating ourselves. Only by continually improving our own cultivation can we better fulfill our missions.

I am grateful to our compassionate and great Master for giving us the opportunity to cultivate and save sentient beings! I am also grateful that fellow practitioners cherish one another and work together in mutual support.

Finally, I would like to share Master’s teachings in “To the Dafa Disciples Attending the Conference in Taiwan” as quoted below, for us to reflect on together:

“Spiritual practice is a serious affair. It is a process of fulfilling your vows, of renewing your being, and of becoming a holy being, re-molded, once more. Every life is choosing its future during this critical historic moment, regardless of his or her origin. Dafa disciples have to make the opportunity of salvation known to people, and guide the beings who can still be saved onto the path that will take them back to their heavenly home.”

Thank you, compassionate and great Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
