Schizophrenic brother was completely cured by Buddhism (精神分裂症)

Introduction

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychotic disorder with a typical onset in early adulthood and a lifetime prevalence of approximately 1%. In addition to the hallmark symptoms of psychosis (delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking), individuals may experience negative symptoms (apathy, loss of emotional expression) and cognitive deficits [1]. Many patients experience symptoms and cognitive deficits refractory to available treatments, and adverse effects of medications are common [1]. This means that scientists are clear with the symptoms but unclear of the underlying causes. In the eyes of Dharma, schizophrenia is a typical disease caused by spirits. The patient is controlled by spirits; all the weird behavior are directed by spirits. Once you are able to permanently let the spirits leave your body, you will be cured. Following is a case in which a brother‘s schizophrenia is successfully cured with the help of his older sister and mother practicing Dharma.

Patient Yue, male, 33 (2001), Jilin, China

In 2001, at the age of 33, my younger brother unfortunately suffered from a mental illness, feeling faint all day, nagging, irritable, and whose behavior was totally different from before. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. My family had no history of mental illness, and we did not know the underlying cause. In desperation, we had to send him to a mental hospital for treatment. Medical therapy did not help, and it increased the financial burden on our family.

In 2015, I was lucky to encounter Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. On March 26, 2015, I joined the Master Jun Hong Lu’s World Buddhism Convention held in Yokohama, Japan. I attended the Dharma conference, and for the first time I witnessed the magic power of Master Lu interpreting totems on the spot.

I was determined to help my brother recover from schizophrenia via Dharma. I encouraged my mother to participate in the rescue effort. At the beginning, she did not believe Dharma would work. I sent her Master Lu’s program videos, blank Little Houses and Guide for reciting Little Houses, and the reports of several successful cases from Japan. After seeing the vivid successful cases, she was so happy and confidently said that Master Lu is our family’s Savior. Guan Yin Bodhisattva will mercifully rescue him.

My mother and I vowed to pay his karmic creditor 800 Little Houses within 2 years and liberate 10,000 fish within 3 years. We prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to bless him to recover soon. If we do not practice Dharma, we will never know how heavy our karma is. We both dreamed of many karmic creditors and a number of reminders for future mishaps, which made us recite Buddhist scriptures slowly. Due to her age, my mother’s memory is poor, and her eyes could not see the recited number on the counter screen clearly. However, she never gave up, and she used matchsticks as a means to count the number of Buddhist scriptures recited. She insisted on reciting Buddhist scriptures daily, paying her own karmic creditors, and helping my brother pay for his.

The path to truth is not smooth. New obstacles pop up. My father convinced my younger sister to prevent us from reciting Buddhist scriptures, but they failed. My mother and I finished reciting 800 Little Houses within a year and a couple months, and they were paid to my brother’s karmic creditor on time. We completed the liberation of 10,000 fish in less than 1 year. In 2016, he left the hospital and went home as a psychologically healthy person, who could take care of himself and live independently. His recovery made my whole family excited and taught a good lesson to my father and sister.

Ever since discharged from the hospital, we have continued to help his creditors. With time, the number of Little Houses we recited has been less and less, with 7 sheets per month recently. In sum, the total number of the Little Houses we recited for his creditors reached up to 4,000. He acquired full faith in Bodhisattva, performed life liberation, and recited scripts occasionally. Now, 5 years later, he not only remains healthy but also has a girlfriend.

My deepest gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!

My deepest gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time!

My deepest gratitude to the Dharma protectors!

My deepest gratitude to the selfless and altruistic Master Jun Hong Lu!

If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I’d like to seek forgiveness from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, and Master Jun Hong Lu.

I’d also like to seek forgiveness from my fellow Buddhist practitioners.

I, not my fellow practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!

Comments: Schizophrenia is usually caused by large spirits (dead humans or large animals) occupying the patient’s body. Large spirits are difficult to ascend to higher realms, and they normally require several thousand Little Houses. Recovery from schizophrenia means creditors have left the body, but new ones may come. Therefore, it is critical to continuously help creditors until karmic debts are completely repaid.

Key facts （WHO，Jan. 10, 2022）

1. Schizophrenia causes psychosis and is associated with considerable disability and may affect all areas of life including personal, family, social, educational, and occupational functioning.

2. Stigma, discrimination, and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia are common.

3. More than two out of three people with psychosis in the world do not receive specialist mental health care.

4. A range of effective care options for people with schizophrenia exist and at least one in three people with schizophrenia will be able to fully recover.

Causes of schizophrenia (National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 2022 )

NAMI suggests that schizophrenia may have four possible causes：

Genetics. Heredity does play a strong role—your likelihood of developing schizophrenia is more than six times higher if you have a close relative, such as a parent or sibling, with the disorder.

Environment. Exposure to viruses or malnutrition before birth, particularly in the first and second trimesters has been shown to increase the risk of schizophrenia. Recent research also suggests a relationship between autoimmune disorders and the development of psychosis.

Brain chemistry. Problems with certain brain chemicals, including neurotransmitters called dopamine and glutamate, may contribute to schizophrenia. Neurotransmitters allow brain cells to communicate with each other. Networks of neurons are likely involved as well.

Substance use.  Some studies have suggested that taking mind-altering drugs during teen years and young adulthood can increase the risk of schizophrenia. A growing body of evidence indicates that smoking marijuana increases the risk of psychotic incidents and the risk of ongoing psychotic experiences. The younger and more frequent the use, the greater the risk.

Please kindly forward this article to those whose relatives are under sufferance of schizophrenia

NAMI estimates that  0.25% to 0.64% of U.S. adults suffer schizophrenia. Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women.

According to the information from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, one seventh of the population will suffer mental disorder (16.6%), and schizophrenia accounts for the 0.7% of the total population.

Forward this article to those whose relatives are under sufferance of schizophrenia , you will accumulate immeasurable merits and virtues.  Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda！！！

Would you like to change your destiny?

We will show you how to do the five golden Buddhist practices of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door: (1) making vows, (2) reciting Buddhist scriptures (sutras and mantras),  (3) performing life liberation, (4) reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, and (5) Repentance.

引言

精神分裂症是一种慢性精神病性障碍，典型发病于成年早期，终生患病率约为 1%。除了精神病的标志性症状（妄想、幻觉、思维障碍）外，个体还可能出现负面症状（冷漠、情绪表达缺失）和认知缺陷 [1]。许多患者会出现现有医疗体系难以治愈的症状和认知缺陷，并且发生对药物的不良反应很常见[1]。这意味着医生们清楚症状，但不清楚致病原因。从佛法的角度来看，精神分裂症是典型的灵性病。病人被灵性控制；所有奇怪的行为都是由灵性主导的。一旦能够永久地让灵性离开身体，你就恢复健康。以下是一位患有精神分裂症的弟弟通过姐姐和母亲运用佛法成功治愈的案例。

原文如下：

精神分裂症的弟弟是我和母亲学佛路上的逆增上缘

顶礼南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！

顶礼十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法金刚菩萨！

顶礼弘法度众舍身忘我的恩师慈父卢军宏台长！

我分享的题目是：精神分裂症的弟弟是我和母亲学佛路上的逆增上缘

我有幸得闻佛法，沐浴佛光已五年有余。今天我怀着激动与感恩的心情在这里与大家分享我的学佛经历与感悟，祈愿观世音菩萨加持保佑，我的分享能让更多有缘人聆听后受益开悟，早日学佛念经，忏悔业障，消业还债，改变命运！

在我闻到佛法的2016年前，也就是弟弟34岁那年，他不幸罹患了精神方面的疾病。整天昏昏噩噩，唠叨不停，烦躁不堪，跟以前判若两人。父母家人面对弟弟的这种状况，都深深地陷入焦虑痛苦之中，但是又无能为力，无计可施！当时对于还没有接触到佛法的我们来说，无法理解这种疾病为什么会出现在我们家里。家族并没有精神方面疾病史，更无从知道病因。万般无奈之下只能把弟弟送到精神病院治疗。这实在是不得已而为之啊！入住精神病院之后，弟弟的病情并未有多大的好转，同时也加重了经济负担。这些都让母亲及家人们更加痛苦。作为姐姐，关键时刻我更是不愿放弃弟弟，为了减轻父母经济上和精神上的负担，远在日本的我自愿担负起弟弟的治疗费用和生活所需。我几乎每天打电话安慰母亲，听弟弟唠叨，虽然心情焦虑不安，但是只要能让弟弟稍感安心，我都尽力满足他的一切要求。

外伤病好治，精神疾患难医啊！弟弟的病情时好时坏，全家人都笼罩在忧郁的氛围之中，被困扰着，折磨着……不知何日是个头！我远在异国他乡，承受的痛苦焦虑巨大，身体和精神渐渐地出现了状况，而且精神也陷入了悲观无助之中！看不见希望！毫不夸张地说这是我们家的至暗时期！

苦难变成了我学佛的逆增上缘。感恩观世音菩萨慈悲救度，让沉浸在痛苦中无法自拔的我在最无助的时候闻到了佛法！2015年3月26日是我终生难忘的日子！卢军宏台长的世界佛友见面会在日本横滨召开，我和朋友一起参加了法会，也第一次亲眼见证了师父看图腾的神奇。从那一刻起，我对学习佛法产生了极大的信心。我坚信佛法的伟大神奇，法力无边。我坚信只有佛法能救助弟弟和家人们，让我们全家得解脱！

法会结束后，我结缘了几乎所有的佛书，回到家里迫不及待地查找自己需要的相关资料，特别是治愈精神方面疾病案例的资料，期望能够通过师父的图腾视频开示讲解，了解到解决问题的方法。师父明确指出精神疾病属于业障病或灵性病，运用心灵法门三大法宝许愿，念经，放生可以治愈。犹如久旱逢甘露，至暗遇明灯。万般惊喜之中我打电话告诉妈妈，我们全家有救了！可是，妈妈的反应并没有我想象的那么喜悦和激动。她不太敢相信，通过学佛念经就能够改变现状。尽管如此，我并没有灰心气馁，我还是把法会结缘回来的空白经文组合及《念诵指南》、还有治愈案例等相关书籍邮寄给她，希望妈妈能认真聆听观看卢台长的图腾视频和开示，对心灵法门升起信心，快快步入法门、学佛念经改变命运……感恩观世音菩萨的保佑，感恩台长师父的加持，当妈妈阅读了案例后，态度大为转变。她高兴得像个孩子一样说台长菩萨就是我家的大救星！妈妈跪在观世音菩萨像前，感动地语无伦次，妈妈说她已流干眼泪心如死灰。但感恩慈悲的观世音菩萨没有忘记我们，终于来救度我们全家啦！

感恩观世音菩萨，让妈妈的佛缘快速成熟，尤其听到妈妈感人肺腑的心声让我也是泪水长流！内心充满了激动和期待！

佛法赋予我们无限的希望！从此，我和妈妈开始运用三大法宝，许愿共同给弟弟的要经者念诵800張经文组合，2年完成。三年内放生1万条鱼，祈求菩萨保佑弟弟身体早日康复。患病的弟弟成为我与妈妈学佛路上的増上缘！可是修行的道路没有想像中的一帆风顺。当开始念诵经文组合的时侯，就梦到很多的要经者和很多可怕的预示梦境，我和妈妈深刻意识到自身业障非常的深重，阻碍很大。这也是我们念不出经文组合的主要原因。可是性格坚强的妈妈并没有因为自己岁数大、记忆力差而气馁，想方设法克服困难，眼睛看不清记数器，就用火柴棒一个一个来记数，坚持做功课、念经文组合消业还债。

我记得当时在妈妈要坚持不住的时候，爸爸联合不信佛的妹妹，企图说服我，以各种理由让我劝妈妈放弃念经。来自家庭的阻力动摇不了我和妈妈对佛法的信心，因为我和妈妈坚信只有跟随卢台长的指引，才能离苦得乐！修行的脚步从未停止，我们相信观世音菩萨，相信师父。困难是阻碍修行的软肋，你强它就弱，认准的路就要坚定地走下去！坚定的决心与信念激励着妈妈和我从400張经文组合念到800張，1万条鱼的愿力也一并行愿完成！

感恩心灵法門，感恩台长师父，三大法宝创造了奇迹。入院多年的弟弟终于在我和妈妈共同努力、精进学佛的第二年，走出精神病院回到家里，像正常人一样能够自理、独立生活！弟弟的变化让全家人都非常兴奋，也给爸爸和妹妹上了生动的一课！

这一次我和妈妈通过自身的努力，亲自验证了佛法的伟大和心灵法门的真实不虚。至今我们学佛历经了5年，这期间母亲一直给弟弟的要经者烧送经文组合。弟弟不但身体恢复好了，还找到了如意的女朋友。如果不学佛的话，这简直都是不可能的事情啊！现在妈妈乐得合不拢嘴！回想当初，如果我们不坚信佛法，持有一点点怀疑态度，再被不信佛的家人阻止，那么弟弟会在痛苦的深渊中沉沦一辈子，更不会有我和妈妈今天的幸福和喜悦。现在我们每天坚持学佛念经，法喜充满，我的两个女儿也因为佛法受益无穷，健康快乐地成长着！

自从弟弟病好之后，家里人也对心灵法门充满了信心。

去年9月家庭学佛成员又壮大了。我成功度化了大姐和弟弟学佛念经，现在家里一共有四人在修习佛法。年前爸爸患重病时，我们四人团结一致一起为父亲许愿、念经、放生。院方断定的爸爸很难康复的疾病，一个月内我们合力为他放生三次，经文组合的张数恰是爸爸年纪的双倍。三大法宝再创奇迹，在短短一个月时间内爸爸出院了，这让我们又一次见证了佛法的伟大神奇！恢复期间，医院嘱咐要在家静养，可是爸爸浑身都是劲，没几天就出去买菜，跟本看不出是个需要静养的病人。感恩观世音菩萨！感恩台长师父！是如此殊胜灵验的法门救度我们，救度有缘众生！

佛法改命，真实不虚。現在的家和5年前的家，有着翻天覆地的变化。父母在，家就在，有家的孩子就是宝！我和大姐在《白话佛法》智慧的教导下知因明理，好好孝敬父母，让父母有一个安稳、平静的祥和晚年。更法喜的是，2021年1月8日，我父母的家中（也就是我的家中）和大姐的家中都设了佛台，让我多年来想设立大佛台的愿望梦想成真！

我们把菩萨请回家中，我们心中更加有了依靠，每天法喜充满。我的父母每天念经，身体健康，精神愉悦。我的家人都在学佛念经！我也会更加努力精进，坚持每天学习师父的心血之作《白话佛法》，学菩萨，做菩萨的千手千眼弘扬心灵法门，广度有缘。一花独放不是春，百花齐放春满园，我要将如此灵验殊胜的心灵法门分享给大家！愿更多有缘人走入心灵法门，跟随台长师父，善用三大法宝，学佛改运，见证奇迹！

再次感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨，感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法金刚菩萨！感恩弘法度众舍身忘我的恩师慈父卢军宏台长！

如果在分享过程中有不如理不如法之处，祈请大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅！请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨慈悲原谅！请龙天护法金刚菩萨慈悲原谅！请恩师慈父慈悲原谅！请师兄们批评指正！我自己的业障自己背，不让聆听的师兄们背！

关于精神分裂症的四个关键事实（世界卫生组织，2022年1月10日公布）

1. 精神分裂症会导致精神病，相当大的一部分获取残疾资格的人与精神分裂症有关。精神分裂症可能会影响到生活的所有方面，包括个人、家庭、社会、接受教育以及工作。

2. 精神分裂症患者遭受污辱、歧视和人权侵犯的现象普遍存在。

3. 世界上超过三分之二的精神病患者没能得到专业的精神卫生护理。

4. 针对精神分裂症患者的有效护理是有的，如能善用至少三分之一的患者能够完全康复。

精神分裂症的原因（美国精神疾病联盟，2022 年）

美国精神疾病联盟认为精神分裂症有四种可能的原因：

遗传：遗传起着重要作用——如果您有近亲（例如父母或兄弟姐妹）患有精神分裂症，您患精神分裂症的可能性会高出六倍以上。

环境：出生前接触病毒或营养不良，特别是在妊娠早期和中期，已被证明会增加患精神分裂症的风险。最近的研究还表明自身免疫性疾病与精神病发展之间存在关系。

脑化学：某些大脑化学物质的问题，包括称为多巴胺和谷氨酸的神经递质，可能会导致精神分裂症。神经递质允许脑细胞相互交流。神经元网络也可能参与其中。

药物：在青少年时期和青年时期服用改变思维的药物会增加患精神分裂症的风险。越来越多的证据表明，吸食大麻会增加精神病事件的风险和持续精神病经历的风险。使用越年轻、越频繁，风险就越大。

请将本文慈悲转发给精神分裂症患者家属

全国精神疾病联盟估计 0.25% 到 0.64% 的美国成年人患有精神分裂症。尽管精神分裂症可以发生在任何年龄，但男性的平均发病年龄往往是十几岁到二十岁出头，女性是二十几岁到三十岁出头。

根据中国疾病预防控制中心的信息，七分之一的人口会出现精神障碍（16.6%），精神分裂症占总人口的0.7%。

请转发这篇文章给精神分裂症者家属，您会积累无量功德。救人一命，胜造七级浮屠！！！
