「总结的学问 总结是很重要的事情，千万不能草草结论。 应认真在自己的生命经历中找出动力、找出趋向于善的力量、找出人性的美好。 」

《心之勇士》第48页，第88则 -

Therefore, the Arts and Culture Department also relies on the teachings of our virtuous Gurus and organized a debrief for the 2023 auspicious joy. Three of the volunteers were invited to share their reflections on their learning experiences which cultivated their faith.  They include Brother Huang Xiang Neng (one of the emcees), Lamrim class Monitor, Sister Lin Su Min (one of the performers) and Sister Qiu Li Hua (Group Lead of the Reception group.

Mega rejoice to them as these are very helpful to the 40 volunteers present. In this way, we will not be drowned in the empty consciousness of non-observation. And it helps us to discover the achievements of life and the value of life.

They allow everyone to receive the supreme blessings, teachings and benefits of the Buddha. They summarized their volunteering experiences according to the teachings, and the performers and each of the supporters initiate a virtue and a loss. This is an excellent method to pay homage to the Triple Gems Grateful for these precious reflections as they will allow us to achieve faster and higher spiritual attainment. Grateful to our lineage masters for the advice not to take the debrief lightly. The thorough reflection allows us to :
1. Find out the motivation
2. Find out the power that tends to be good
3. Find out the beauty of human nature (Buddha nature)

所以，文化艺术处也依止善知识的教导为2023年吉祥悦做结行总结。

有三位义工分享学习心得及修信念恩。他们包括:  祥能师兄，素敏班长及莉花师姐。

深深随喜他们的总结，很有力地帮助在场的40位出席的义工。这样才不会淹没在无观察识里空过。 而且帮助我们发现活过的成绩、生命的价值。

他们让大家可以得到师长佛陀无上的加持、教导与饶益。 随喜他们为大家依照教理，认真地思惟总结自己，表演者与每一位护持人员发起的一德、损减一过之处。这是切身直接对师长三宝修信念恩的极佳方便。

深深随喜大家通过护持及总结让信心能增长，则修行的成就会更快更高。 所以千万不能草草结论。

感恩善知识让弟子们懂得总结的好处，

透由认真总结：
1、找出动力
2、找出趋向于善的力量
3、找出人性的美好（佛性）

Our ANC Director, Sister Irene Lee expressed her gratefulness to all the Main Organising Teams who have served and supported the annual ANC Joyous Rhapsody Concerts since 2018. Not forgetting, the cadres and students volunteer of the Arts and Cultural Department, the performers of Joyous Rhapsody, all the warriors behind the scenes, who year after year make offerings of voice and music to the Triple Gems, Bodhisattvas, and lineage masters.

All these efforts benefit all sentient beings including themselves on their Bodhi path. It is truly admirable. Deeply grateful to everyone.

A walk down memory lane slideshow was also created for the performers and all volunteers.

文化艺术处，李宗矜处长也感恩从2018至今护持的所有总护持团队，文化艺术处的干部们及义工同学们，吉祥悦的表演者，台前幕后的勇士们，年复一年的音声供养三宝佛菩萨与师长，作师随喜，自立利他。真的太让人敬佩。深深感恩大家，有您们真好!
