(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 19-year-old Japanese Dafa practitioner who is studying at a music school. Before today, because my writing skills were not very good, my sister and mother have always written my cultivation experiences for me. Later, through reading articles on a Dafa website, I realized that writing experience sharing articles is also part of cultivation practice. When I began to write, I found many attachments, so I decided to write this article myself this time. Quite unexpectedly, many human thoughts surfaced in my mind during this process. I was surprised. The following is my cultivation experience of revising and polishing translated articles for a Japanese-language Dafa website. I wish to share it with you all.

I had been in a disheartened state. Then one day my sister helped me to start the task of polishing translated articles for a Dafa website. At the beginning, I couldn't seem to concentrate on the task. I usually read through the article once, roughly changed something, and then that was it. But after reading more of the experience sharing articles I was assigned to polish, I simply realized that I could not do it that way any longer. I also came to understand that I only revised articles, but did not do the three things well. What difference was there between myself and an everyday person revising articles? Since this task is completely different from an everyday person's job, I decided that I must treat it more seriously.

One day during school break, I went to the group practice site to do the exercises, study the Fa, and send forth righteous thoughts. After coming back home, as usual I started my polishing work. But this time I had a very different feeling. I clearly felt that Teacher had opened up my wisdom. It used to take me a long time to correct an article, and it was really hard. But on that day, I picked up speed and my comprehension ability improved. Also, after doing the revisions, I asked myself to double-check it.

Through doing the task of polishing over a period of time, I found that my Chinese comprehension also improved. I can understand almost all of Teachers' audio lectures now. I feel that Teacher is encouraging me. In the past, when I read Zhuan Falun and the recent articles, I could see Teacher's fashen in every word. But recently, besides seeing fashen in every word, I can see a bigger and shining fashen on every page. When I did the exercises in the past, I didn't feel the energy, but now, I almost sweat from the strong energy during practice.

I am trying my best to revise more articles, as I hope the Japanese website will publish more articles. Was it right to always excuse myself from the task because I was tired or busy? Translating and revising articles are also a means to clarify the truth to the public. If we were not diligent enough to do the translation and polishing well, how would sentient beings know what is really going on? Maybe people wish to see more great articles every day. I think that I cannot demand from myself too little. This is not working, but validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. If I try hard to do one more article, maybe more people will be saved. If I can save more people, then I should shorten my current sleeping time, which is already more than enough. Dafa practitioners in Mainland China are working very hard under harsh conditions to save more people. What kind of excuse do I have not to be diligent? I should treat this matter more seriously for the purpose of saving more people. When I realized this, even though I was busy at school, I ended up saving much more time eventually.

Doing the exercises, studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, and revising articles takes a lot of time. On the Internet, there are many Chinese versions of Dafa music. I also record them in Japanese from the Chinese version. This is part of my truth-clarification effort. When clarifying the truth, if we do the three things well, and have the thought to save more sentient beings, we can do well in anything.

Recently, I worked on articles until 2:30 a.m. every night, and got up at 5:55 a.m. I went online and studied the Fa with fellow practitioners every day. In the past, I wasn't able to get up in the early morning. And no matter how long I slept, I always felt tired. Now, even though I go to bed very late, I am able to be up very early without the feeling of sleepiness and tiredness. I feel that my body is really light. My surroundings have also changed for the better. My cultivation and things at school have all gone well. I feel that my determination and perseverance are essential to have. If you feel you can achieve it, then you will. Teacher will also help us. A one-hour Fa-study in the morning melts my mind into the Fa. Attachments that I couldn't overcome in the past are easily eliminated now.

Recently the environment for group Fa-study and exchanging understandings in this Japanese Dafa website team has been stable, and our cultivation state has improved a lot. Every day, the web site provides around ten new articles. However, little by little, the translated articles come in less and less. Sometimes, a practitioner has to translate multiple articles in one day. Ever since I began doing polishing work for the website, I have often looked inward. Once an attachment was found, I eliminated it. Eventually, I retrieved my righteous thoughts in cultivation. In the future, for the improvement of this Japanese Dafa website, I hope all of us encourage each other and strive forward diligently in the Fa.

Above is my personal understanding. I hope that fellow practitioners will point out anything inappropriate. Heshi.
