兑现使命 Honour the Master’s grace and fulfil my mission as part of the whole(PM 6th sharing)

沐浴师恩,作为整体中的一个粒子兑现使命(PM 6th sharing)

W Z

尊敬的师父好!

各位同修好!

我是1998年得法的。因为年纪小,当时由父亲带着参加集体学法、炼功。那时,师父讲的很多法理我还不能理解,但真、善、忍三个字却记在了心底。回首二十多年的修炼路,我越来越体会到,师尊的慈悲不仅体现在一次次危难中的保护,更体现在一次次关难中,让我放下自我,做一个真修弟子。

第一部分:在一次次关难中重新走回修炼

因父亲去北京上访被关押迫害,我的修炼中断了。在那段艰难的时期,我因是“法轮功的儿子”而受到歧视。后来,由于缺乏双亲的管束,我也沾染了一些不良的社会习气,甚至被小伙伴拉着参与赌博、打电子游戏。

父亲回来后,我重新走入修炼,开始奋起直追。中考时,我的成绩刚好达到重点高中的录取线。后来,父亲得知一所私立学校高中部为品学兼优的学生提供专项奖学金,免除学费和生活费,我因此有机会继续读高中。

高中期间,我的修炼逐渐精進,也开始向同学讲真相,有同学认同大法好并做了三退。记得高三时,班主任在课堂上说到诋毁大法的话,我很难受,下课后便找他讲真相,他同意不再说了。

我平时成绩一向不错,但高考却没有一次考上。成绩公布那天,听到有人说我考得差、令人失望,我委屈得眼泪直流,恨不得找个地缝钻进去。想到师父在《转法轮》中开示:“苦其心志才是真正提高层次的关键”,经历这次挫折后,高中期间一直无法突破的一小时双盘,我竟然能够坚持下来了。

大学毕业后,我进入一家设计院工作。当时经常需要到非洲动乱地区出差,我也感到那个工作环境在把人往下拉,心里恳求师父帮助我走出困境。后来,妻子来澳洲读书,我也因此有机会获得澳洲和中国的联合奖学金出国。

回首这段经历,我感恩师尊一次次把我拉回来,给我继续修炼的机会,这些经历让我更加珍惜修炼的机缘。而这份奖学金,也成为我后来面临的一场考验。

第二部分:苦其心志:在失去中学会放下

读博期间,我没有全职参与媒体工作,但一直深度参与希望之声澳洲生活台的项目,见证了媒体从广播节目、网站、手机App的发展,到大型推广活动的开展,直至后来转向YouTube平台。媒体发展得越来越好时,负责人曾希望我全职加入。

然而,妻子并不理解我在大法媒体的工作,常因我深夜或周末到媒体值班而与我争吵。到我博士毕业时,我们的婚姻一度面临破裂。后来妻子回国生宝宝,这个关我也并没有真正过去。

后来,我有机会到西澳从事博士后研究工作。头两年,我逐渐放下了急于出名、多发表第一作者文章的心,开始踏踏实实地做好工作。可是,第三年,辛辛苦苦写了两年多的文章却被老板拿走了。因为心里极度不平衡,我始终放不下,工作做得很吃力,老板也感受到了我的状态,给我的压力越来越大。这样的纠结和苦闷又持续了一年。

后来,我逐渐认识到,自己不能总是把心放在个人得失上。

我想到了师父在《纽约法会讲法》中开示:

“对于物质利益,对钱追求的心那么强是修炼吗?我告诉大家,这个钱是对修炼人的最大障碍。”

我开始反思自己对工作成果、名利和个人付出的执著。放下怨恨后,我的工作心态逐渐稳定下来。

一次,一篇我排名第三的合作文章需要修改。我不再计较个人得失,而是专注稿件质量。另一位排名第二的同事多次想当第一作者,我坦然地告诉他,我没有意见,可出乎意料的是,老板最后让我当了第一作者,我自己的另外一篇文章也顺利被接收。

我从中体会到,修炼中的提高不能只看自己最终得到了什么,更要看面对得失时,自己的心是否发生了变化。以前,我很难接受辛苦付出却没有得到相应回报;后来,我能够在合作中先考虑怎样把事情做好,不再把个人得失看得那么重。这个变化让我明白,真正需要改变的是自己的心。

第三部分:坚定正念:在巨大压力面前选择师尊安排的路

分开三年后没有见面的妻子和两岁多的宝宝来澳洲与我短暂团聚后,又回国了。年底时,妻子希望我回中国,这样就可以免去归还中国政府资助的近五十万元人民币生活费,还能省下钱来买房子。我告诉她,我不能回去。妻子对此非常不理解,提出离婚并放弃澳洲绿卡。

与此同时,一个本以为十拿九稳的西澳本地工作申请也被拒绝了。几件事接连发生,我感到巨大的压力,一度想买机票回国,父亲同修劝我也听不进去。

父亲无奈之下,向当年和他一起去天安门证实法的同修求助。电话接通后,那位同修结合自己的经历,提醒我不要对中共抱幻想,也分享了师尊在《二零零五年加拿大法会讲法》中的一句法:“一个不动能制万动。”

这句让我一下找到了方向。我告诉自己,什么都别想动了我,就听师尊的。

我又想起师父在《二零零三年元宵节讲法》中开示:

“我是李洪志的弟子,其它的安排都不要、都不承认,它们就不敢干,就都能解决。你真能做到,不是嘴上说而是行为上要做到,师父一定为你做主。”

坚定了这颗心后,事情逐渐有了转机。妻子回心转意,答应带宝宝来澳洲生活,后来父母和亲朋也帮我凑齐了需要归还的生活费。

我体会到,正念不只是在平时说自己相信师父,而是在巨大的现实压力面前,仍然能够作出符合自己修炼选择的决定。那时我面临婚姻、经济和工作的多重压力,曾经动摇过,但在同修的提醒下,我重新坚定了自己的选择。

这件事带来的心性冲击并没有马上结束。之后,我多年前的旧症复发,浑身奇痒无比,持续了两三个月。白天上班时还好,一下班回家就开始发作,晚上无法休息,周末白天在家也是如此。起初我还用大蒜煮水喝,后来痒起来时,我就夜里起来炼功。那段时间,每当我抱轮时,都感到法轮在两臂之间、手心里高速旋转,炼完功后,痒就消下去了。这是我修炼多年从未有过的感受,我知道自己经历了一个大关,也更加感恩师尊的慈悲鼓励。

第四部分:放下自我:在为他人着想中找到自己的位置

到了博士后工作的第五年,我在研究中有了新的突破。此前两三年进展不大的难题,后来我逐渐找到了思路,理解了几个前沿问题之间的关联,也找到了相应的解决办法,老板对我的工作有了认可。

与此同时,希望之声澳洲生活台网站多年运营中遗留的技术问题,以及遭到中共黑客网络攻击后时常瘫痪的问题,也需要解决。我借助人工智能自学,逐步找到了解决办法。征得大家同意后,我独立完成了当初加入媒体时设想的目标,让网站能够持续运行,并兼顾扩展、安全和成本。

师父在《洛杉矶市法会讲法》中开示:

“那么也就是说呢,不论你在哪一个领域里,你的技能方面能够提高那是你不断的使自己境界提高后的表现,表现上是你在做好人、在修心,从人的角度上来讲你在变成好人,由于学法内修你做的越来越好,神就会给你应有的智慧、给你灵感,让你在学习中明白很多、让你创造出更好的东西、让你技术更高、让你超越。”

回顾这段博士后经历,我从最初执著论文署名,到放不下工作成果的得失,再到怨恨老板的不公,后来逐渐能够放下个人得失,认真做好自己该做的事情。我体会到,修炼中的提高不仅体现在思想认识上,也会反映在实际行动中:当我不再一味关注自己是否得到认可,而是想着怎样把事情做好时,工作状态也发生了变化。

随着科研难题的攻克,老板希望我离开。我当时仍然留恋高校的工作,放不下这份饭碗。师父在讲法中曾以和尚的碗作比喻,谈到人对物质利益的执著。我再次认识到,自己虽然在工作上有所进步,但对职位和工作环境仍有留恋。

当我逐渐放下这颗执著心后,悉尼出现了一个适合我的岗位。回悉尼后,我很快学会了视频剪辑,现在每周都能制作产出视频。

回头看,我曾经以为,科研、网站管理、人工智能和视频剪辑等技能,都是自己一步步积累起来的能力。现在我更能体会到,这些能力也可以在整体需要时发挥作用。回到悉尼后,我能够与媒体同修配合,在项目中承担自己可以承担的责任。

我越来越认识到,一个粒子虽然很小,能力也有限,但如果能够摆正自己的位置,不计个人得失,在整体需要时承担责任,就能发挥自己的作用。我需要放下的,不只是对工作、名利和个人生活的执著,也包括总是从自己的角度考虑问题的习惯。能否把自己放在整体之中,考虑怎样配合同修、做好项目,是我还要不断修炼提高的。

第五部分:在项目中修心,在做好工作中兑现使命

我们的视频项目团队刚开始组建时,大家对节目方向有不同看法。有同修提出很多好的意见,也有人觉得选题应该贴近生活,或应该加入更多讲真相的内容。协调人会后问我的意见,我回答说,您定了方向就行。我认识到,媒体项目需要大家相互配合,不能只考虑自己的想法。

近期制作悉尼七·二〇集会反迫害的视频时,协调人计划把现场采访与节目内容结合起来,希望达到更好的效果。我事先看了其他大媒体制作的相关视频,发现质量很高、效果很好,自己还没开始做,就产生了畏难情绪。

制作过程中,大家对现场视频素材如何选择和运用有不同意见;稿件中的个别名词表述也引起了争议,需要进一步核实和调整;录音缺少主播串词,需要补录;有些素材与文稿中的事实内容也不够贴合。

面对这些问题,我越来越着急,越想尽快做出来,反而越做不下去。看到团队中还有许多事情没有落实,我心里更是拧劲。消极的一面甚至安慰自己:他们都还没做好,我剪不出来也没关系。但我知道,这件事是我应该做的,不能因为困难就退缩。

到了原定发布时间,视频仍然没有完成。我原以为协调人会第一时间催促我,没想到她为了把节目做好,整理了各方面的意见,并逐一找相关同修落实。这反而提醒了我:我不能总盯着别人还有什么没做好,而应该先把自己该做的做好。

我静下心来学法、向内找,发现自己有急于把事情完成的急躁心,也有怕麻烦、不愿面对不同意见的心,还有希望把事情做好、得到协调人认可的心。认识到这些问题后,我重新开始编辑,用心理解稿件内容,深入寻找合适的素材。

这时,同修补充了录音,也提供了新的现场视频。我顺着一位同修提出的思路,找到了难得的历史真相资料。经过大家的配合,我们最终在七·二〇之前发布了视频,对讲清真相起到了很大作用。

这次经历让我看到,遇到困难时,我容易急于求成,也容易把注意力放在别人做得不够好的地方。只有静下心来向内找,改变自己的状态,才能真正把事情做好。当我不再一味要求别人配合自己的节奏,而是愿意理解问题、接受意见、主动寻找办法时,事情才能逐渐推进。

现在,团队的视频质量在慢慢提高。我体会到,这不仅是制作技术的进步,也离不开大家都愿意用心把节目做好、相互配合的努力。对我来说,做好项目不只是完成一项工作,更是一个不断发现自己、放下自我、学会与同修配合的修炼过程。

回顾自己的修炼路,从童年时修炼中断,到后来在工作、家庭和项目中经历一次次考验,我越来越体会到师尊的慈悲。师尊给了我生命和修炼的机缘,也让我在不同的关难中看到自己的不足。过去,我容易把注意力放在个人的发展、得失和能力上;现在,我希望自己能够更多地考虑整体需要,在师尊安排的修炼路上做好自己该做的事情。

一个粒子虽小,但只要能够摆正位置、放下个人得失、与整体配合,就能发挥应有的作用。今后,我要继续修好自己,坚定正念,在媒体项目中尽力承担责任,不辜负师尊的慈悲苦度。

最后,想以师父《洪吟二》中的法与大家共勉:

理智醒觉

少息自省添正念
明析不足再精進

个人修炼层次有限,不当之处,请慈悲指正。

谢谢师尊!谢谢同修!

Bathed in Master’s Grace: Fulfilling My Mission as a Particle of the Whole Body

W Z

Greetings, revered Master!

Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I began practising Falun Dafa in 1998. I was still a child, and my father took me to group Fa study and exercises. Although I could not yet understand many of the Fa principles Master taught, the words Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance took root in my heart. Looking back on more than twenty years of cultivation, I have come to appreciate more deeply that Master’s compassion is reflected not only in protecting me time and again in moments of danger, but also in helping me let go of self through each trial and tribulation and become a disciple who truly cultivates.

Part One: Returning to Cultivation Through Trials and Tribulations

My cultivation was interrupted when my father was detained and persecuted for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. During that difficult period, I faced discrimination as “the son of a Falun Gong practitioner.” Later, without the guidance and discipline of my parents, I picked up some bad habits. Friends even drew me into gambling and playing video games.

After my father returned, I resumed cultivation and worked hard to catch up. My score on the senior high school entrance examination just met the admission threshold for a leading high school. My father later learned that a private school offered a special scholarship for high school students who excelled in both conduct and academic performance, covering tuition and living expenses. On learning of this opportunity, I gladly enrolled there.

During high school, I gradually became more diligent in cultivation. I remember clarifying the truth to my classmates. Some came to recognise that Dafa was good and renounced their affiliations with the Chinese Communist Party and its two youth organisations. In my final year, my homeroom teacher made remarks in class that slandered Dafa. I felt deeply upset, so I spoke with him after class to clarify the truth. He agreed not to make such remarks again.

Although I had always done well at school, I did not gain admission to university on my first attempt. On the day the results were announced, I heard people say that I had done poorly and let them down. Feeling hurt and wronged, I could not stop crying and wished the ground would swallow me up. I thought of Master’s teaching in Zhuan Falun: “The key to real spiritual progress is to train your will.” After this setback, I found that I could finally sit in the full-lotus position for an hour—something I had been unable to achieve throughout high school.

After graduating from university, I joined a design institute. My work often required travel to areas of Africa affected by unrest. I also felt that the work environment was pulling me down, and in my heart I pleaded with Master to help me find a way out. Later, my wife went to Australia to study. This also opened an opportunity for me to go abroad on a scholarship jointly funded by Australia and China.

Looking back, I am grateful to Master for bringing me back time and again and giving me the opportunity to continue cultivating. These experiences made me treasure that opportunity all the more. The scholarship, however, would later become a test for me.

Part Two: Training the will—Learning to Let Go Through Loss

During my doctoral studies, I did not work for the media full time, but I remained deeply involved in projects at Sound of Hope Australia Life. I witnessed its growth from radio programmes to a website and mobile app, then large-scale promotional events, and eventually a shift to YouTube. As the media outlet continued to develop, the person in charge hoped I would join full time.

My wife, however, did not understand my work for a Dafa media outlet. We often argued when I worked shifts there late at night or on weekends. By the time I completed my doctorate, our marriage had reached the brink of breakdown. My wife later returned to China to have our baby, but I had not truly overcome this trial.

I later had an opportunity to undertake postdoctoral research in Western Australia. During the first two years, I gradually let go of my eagerness to make a name for myself and publish more papers as first author, and began to focus on doing my work well. In the third year, however, my supervisor took away a paper I had spent more than two years painstakingly writing. I felt deeply aggrieved and could not let it go. My work became a struggle. My supervisor sensed my state of mind and put me under increasing pressure. This inner turmoil and distress continued for another year.

Gradually, I came to realise that I could not keep dwelling on personal gain and loss.

I recalled what Master said in Fa Teaching Given in New York City:

“Being so strongly attached to material interests and money—is that cultivation? I can tell you that money is the biggest obstacle for a cultivator.”

I began to reflect on my attachments to the fruits of my work, fame and material gain, and the effort I had personally put in. After I let go of resentment, I gradually regained a steadier attitude towards my work.

On one occasion, a collaborative paper on which I was listed as the third author needed revision. Instead of weighing my personal gains and losses, I focused on the quality of the manuscript. The colleague listed second had repeatedly expressed a wish to be first author. I calmly told him that I had no objection. To my surprise, my supervisor ultimately made me the first author. Another paper of my own was also accepted without difficulty.

This helped me understand that improvement in cultivation cannot be measured only by what I ultimately gain. What matters more is whether my heart changes when I face gain and loss. In the past, I had struggled to accept working hard without receiving a corresponding reward. Later, I became able to put the work first when collaborating with others and to take personal gains and losses less seriously. Through this change, I realised that what truly needed to change was my own heart.

Part Three: Holding Firm to Righteous Thoughts Under Immense Pressure—Choosing the Path Master Arranged

After three years apart, my wife came to Australia with our child, who was just over two. We had a brief reunion before they returned to China. Towards the end of the year, she wanted me to return to China so that I would not have to repay nearly RMB 500,000 in living expenses funded by the Chinese government, and we could save the money towards buying a home. I told her that I could not go back. She found this very hard to understand. She asked for a divorce, and wanted to give up her Australian permanent residency.

At the same time, I was turned down for a local job in Western Australia that I had felt almost certain of securing. With one setback following another, I felt immense pressure. At one point, I wanted to buy a ticket back to China and would not listen even when my father, a fellow practitioner, tried to dissuade me.

At a loss, my father turned to a fellow practitioner who had gone with him to Tiananmen Square years earlier to validate the Fa. During our phone conversation, the practitioner drew on personal experience to remind me not to harbour illusions about the Chinese Communist Party, and also shared a passage from Master’s Fa Teaching Given at the 2005 Canada Fa Conference: “by remaining unmoved you could handle all situations.”

These words immediately helped me find my bearings. I told myself that I would let nothing sway me; I would follow Master’s guidance.

I also recalled Master’s words in Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003:

“I’m Li Hongzhi’s disciple, I don’t want other arrangements or acknowledge them—then they won’t dare to do that. So it can all be resolved. When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you.”

Once I had made this firm resolve, things gradually took a turn for the better. My wife had a change of heart and agreed to bring our child to live in Australia. Later, my parents, relatives, and friends also helped me raise the money needed to repay the living expenses.

I came to understand that righteous thoughts mean more than saying in ordinary circumstances that I believe in Master. They also mean being able to make decisions consistent with my commitment to cultivation when faced with immense pressures in daily life. At that time, I was facing difficulties in my marriage, finances, and work all at once, and I had wavered. With a fellow practitioner’s reminder, however, I reaffirmed my choice.

The impact of these events on my xinxing, or character, did not immediately subside. Afterwards, an old ailment from years earlier returned, causing unbearable itching all over my body for two or three months. I was generally fine while at work during the day, but the itching would start as soon as I got home. I could not rest at night, and the same thing happened when I was home during the day on weekends. At first, I boiled garlic in water and drank it. Later, when the itching began, I would get up during the night to do the exercises. During that period, whenever I held the wheel, I felt the Falun spinning rapidly between my arms and in my palms. After I finished the exercises, the itching would subside. I had never experienced such a sensation in all my years of cultivation. I knew I had gone through a major test, and I felt even more grateful for Master’s compassionate encouragement.

Part Four: Letting Go of Self—Finding My Place by Considering Others

By the fifth year of my postdoctoral work, I had made new breakthroughs in my research. I gradually found a way forward on problems with which I had made little progress over the previous two or three years. I came to understand the connections between several questions at the forefront of the field and found ways to resolve them. My supervisor began to acknowledge my work.

Meanwhile, technical problems left over from years of operating the Sound of Hope Australia website needed to be resolved, along with frequent outages following cyberattacks by Chinese Communist Party hackers. With the help of artificial intelligence, I taught myself what I needed to know and gradually found solutions. With everyone’s agreement, I completed the work on my own, fulfilling the goal I had envisioned when I first joined the media project: keeping the website running reliably while taking scalability, security, and cost into account.

Master said in Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles:

“So in other words, whichever field you might be in, when you are able to improve your skills, that is a reflection of your having continually risen in realm. And people can see that you are a good person and someone who cultivates his or her heart and mind. From the vantage point of human beings, you are becoming a good person. As a result of studying the Fa and cultivating your inner self, you do better and better, and gods give you the wisdom you deserve and give you inspiration so that you can come to realize a lot of things while you study, create better things, improve your technique, and reach beyond.”

Looking back on my postdoctoral years, I can see how I was first attached to authorship credit, then to the gains and losses tied to the results of my work, and how I came to resent my supervisor’s unfair treatment. Gradually, I became able to set aside personal gain and loss and conscientiously do what I was responsible for. I came to understand that improvement in cultivation is reflected in both our understanding and our actions. When I stopped focusing solely on whether I received recognition and began thinking about how to do the work well, my approach to work also changed.

As the research problems were resolved, my supervisor wanted me to leave. At the time, I was still attached to my university job—my rice bowl, or livelihood—and could not let it go. In his lectures, Master has used a monk’s bowl as an analogy when discussing people’s attachment to material interests. Once again, I realised that although I had made progress in my work, I was still attached to my position and work environment.

As I gradually let go of this attachment, a suitable position opened up for me in Sydney. After returning to Sydney, I quickly learned video editing, and I can now produce videos every week.

I used to think of my skills in scientific research, website management, artificial intelligence, and video editing as personal abilities I had developed step by step. Now I have a deeper understanding that these skills can also serve the needs of the whole. Since returning to Sydney, I have been able to work with fellow practitioners in the media project and take on the responsibilities I am able to fulfil.

I increasingly understand that even a small particle, with limited abilities, can play its part by finding its proper place, setting aside personal gain and loss, and shouldering responsibility when the whole needs it. What I need to let go of includes my attachments to work, fame, personal gain, and my personal life, as well as the habit of always seeing things from my own perspective. I still need to keep cultivating and improving in how I see myself as part of the whole, cooperate with fellow practitioners, and do our projects well.

Part Five: Cultivating My Heart Through Projects and Fulfilling My Mission by Doing the Work Well

When our video team was first formed, we had differing views on the direction of our programmes. Fellow practitioners offered many good suggestions. Some felt our topics should be more closely connected to everyday life; others thought we should include more content that clarified the truth. After the meeting, the coordinator asked for my opinion. I replied that I would follow the direction she decided on. I understood that a media project requires us to cooperate with one another and consider more than just our own ideas.

Recently, while we were making a video about a rally in Sydney marking July 20 and calling for an end to the persecution, the coordinator planned to combine interviews from the event with the script to make the programme more effective. I first watched related videos produced by other major media outlets and found them excellent in quality and very effective. Before I had even begun, I felt daunted.

During production, we had differing opinions about how to select and use the footage from the rally. Some terms in the script also prompted disagreement and needed to be checked and revised. The audio lacked the presenter’s linking narration, which had to be recorded, and some of the material did not closely match the facts described in the script.

As these problems arose, I grew increasingly anxious. The more I wanted to finish quickly, the harder it became to move forward. Seeing how much the team still had to put in place made me even more frustrated and resistant. A negative part of me even tried to reassure myself: since they had not finished their work, it would be all right if I could not finish the editing either. But I knew this was something I was responsible for, and I could not back away simply because it was difficult.

By the scheduled release time, the video was still unfinished. I had expected the coordinator to press me to finish straight away. Instead, in her efforts to make the programme as good as possible, she gathered everyone’s comments and followed up with the relevant practitioners one by one. This reminded me that I should stop focusing on what others had yet to do and first do my own part well.

I settled down to study the Fa and look within. I found impatience and an eagerness to get the job finished, an attachment to avoiding trouble and a reluctance to deal with different opinions, and a desire to do the work well so that the coordinator would approve of me. Having recognised these attachments, I began editing again, taking care to understand the script and searching thoroughly for suitable material.

By then, fellow practitioners had supplied the additional recordings and new footage from the rally. Following a suggestion from one practitioner, I found some rare material documenting the historical truth. Through everyone’s cooperation, we finally released the video before 20 July, and it played a significant role in clarifying the truth.

This experience showed me that when difficulties arise, I tend to be impatient for results and focus on where others fall short. Only by calming down, looking within, and changing my own state can I truly do the work well. When I stopped insisting that others keep pace with me and became willing to understand the problems, listen to suggestions, and actively look for solutions, things gradually began to move forward.

The quality of our team’s videos is now gradually improving. I see this as the result not only of better production skills, but also of everyone’s willingness to put their hearts into making good programmes and working together. For me, doing a project well means more than completing a task. It is a process of cultivation in which I continually come to understand myself, let go of self, and learn to cooperate with fellow practitioners.

Looking back over my cultivation journey—from its interruption in my childhood to the repeated tests I later encountered at work, in my family, and in projects—I have come to appreciate revered Master’s compassion more and more. Master gave me life and the opportunity to cultivate, and allowed me to see my shortcomings through various trials. In the past, I tended to focus on my own development, gains and losses, and abilities. Now, I hope to consider the needs of the whole more often and do my part well on the cultivation path Master has arranged for me.

Though a particle may be small, it can fulfil its role as long as it finds its proper place, lets go of personal gain and loss, and works in harmony with the whole. From now on, I will continue to cultivate myself well, strengthen my righteous thoughts, and do my utmost to shoulder my responsibilities in the media project, so that I may live up to revered Master’s compassionate efforts and the hardships he has endured to save me.

Finally, I would like to share a passage from Master’s Hong Yin II as encouragement for us all:

Rational and Awake

Pause for a moment of self-reflection, and increase your righteous thoughts

Thoroughly analyze your shortcomings, and progress with renewed diligence.

My cultivation level is limited. Please compassionately point out anything inappropriate in my sharing.

Thank you, revered Master!

Thank you, fellow practitioners!
