Eczema afflicting me for over 40 years was cured by Buddhism (湿疹)
I was born in 1974, female, from Jiangsu Province, China.
I would like to share with you my story of curing the skin disease eczema that has afflicted me for more than 40 years in just 3.5 years by practising the four 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.
I hope that my experience will allow me to make good affinity with innumerable sentient beings, and transform countless sentient beings to practise Buddhism!
1. Forty years of stubborn skin disease brought me endless miserable and torment
I was born in 1974. Not long after I was born, my parents noticed my skin was weird. The skin on my face and body first faded, blistered and then festered a little bit. The festering started from a point to a piece, and finally resulted in my inability to be held by my parents. My parents took me to all the major hospitals and doctors and it was diagnosed as eczema. The condition is recurring, stubborn, unable to be cured, and is treatable only with a few common medicines in case of an emergency. When it was severe, my whole body was covered with small blisters that itched so much that I scratched desperately. My parents had to use gloves to wrap my hands all over. I couldn’t sleep well at night, I had no strength during the day, I grew up yellow and skinny, and my skin was always covered with ointment.
My mother heard someone say that eating snakes could cure eczema. After I ate twice, I had more attacks so she gave up. However, terrible bad karma was created.
When I was 38 years old, I had a full-blown skin disease. My palms, the backs of hands and face itched like crazy. I felt like something was crawling on my hands (after studying Buddhism, I realized that this was retribution for eating snakes), and the only way to relieve the itching was to scratch and bleed and then rinse the wound with tap water. A senior dermatology professor looked at my medical history and said: “The skin disease is still severe at your age and you will carry it for life.”
I was desperate after years of eczema plague. Many times I cried from my heart: “Who can save me?” “Who can free me from the torture of this disease?”
2. I was fortunate to encounter Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, and the eczema was improved
It must be the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva who heard my cry and came to save me! Under the guidance of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I was fortunate to meet Dharma practitioner Sun in February 2016 at my newly hired workplace. She said that my skin disease could be relieved by practising the three golden Buddhist practices of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door: making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and performing life liberation.
I was very interested in hearing that. Practitioner Sun then offered me the Buddhist Recitation Collection (Buddhist Scriptures) [1], Introduction to the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door [2], A Guide to Reciting Little Houses [3] and Buddhism in Plain Terms [4], a tape recorder and other Dharma information for free. I felt like if I had found a treasure. That day, I learned to recite the Great Compassion Mantra during my break. When I got home from work, I immediately opened the books and read them one by one. When I saw the real cases published in the book, I felt immense joy and hope. I felt like I had found a therapeutic solution to my illness!
Early the next morning at 5:00, I was awakened by a loud knock on the door, and stepped out to see no one was there. This must be the Dharma Protector reminding me to get up early and recite Buddhist scriptures. It took me a short time to learn to recite Buddhist scriptures and the Little Houses.
After practising Buddhism for more than two months, practitioner Sun took me to liberate fish, and then we went to senior practitioner Pan’s home for a group study of Buddhism in Plain Terms. Pan said, it is imperative for a reciter to be a vegetarian, or the quality of Buddhist scriptures recited will be compromised. I immediately offered Bodhisattva incense in front of the Buddhist altar at Pan’s home. I made a vow to be a vegetarian from now on and forever.
In June 2016, practitioners Sun and Dongsheng helped me set up the Buddhist altar at my home. I made a vow to liberate lives on the first and fifteenth day of every month of the lunar year. Every day, after offering Bodhisattva incense, I felt especially Dharma joy when I sat in front of the Buddhist altar to recite Buddhist scriptures. I recited the Little Houses quickly. Every day, I have the Great Compassion Water to drink. I can sleep more soundly at night, and I wake up less often with itchy skin in the middle of the night. My physique is obviously better than before. I kept listening to Master Lu’s recorded Dharma talks, reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, and repaying my karmic creditors with Little Houses. I swabbed the itchy areas on my face and hands with Great Compassion Water. I also dreamed that Master Lu came to me to bless me in my dreams, which was particularly Dharma joyful.
After a few months, the itchy skin on my face and hands improved greatly, and my skin glowed. My body has changed qualitatively from the inside out. It was as if I was being transformed into a new person. The practitioners who know me are also happy for me when they see my skin improving.
3. By making great vows and performing more merits and virtues my eczema was cured
In 2017, I was 43, entering the age of predestined 369 calamity. In May, my karma broke out. The skin disease on my hands flared up again, resulting in an unbearable itching. I tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep. I wondered: “Did I do something wrong?” One day, practitioner Pan told me that she dreamed that I was the owner of a seafood store in my past life. After hearing this news, I was frozen. Why had I chosen killing instead of another profession in my previous life? It was terrible! What huge karma it created! The evil cause of killing in my past life has caused skin disease in my present life since birth. The money, fame and fortune from past lives could not be carried to this life, but only the karma never leaves my soul, just as Master Lu enlightened in Buddhism in Plain Terms: “nothing can be brought away, only the karma that follows.” When adding the karma of eating snakes while I was a student, which made my life worse than death. Like the Dharma saying: “you create your own karma and suffer the consequences.” I apologize for my evil deeds, and I deeply repent to you, Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
During that time, I experienced karmic obstacles that hindered all aspects of my life. My interpersonal interactions were also very difficult and I was ostracized everywhere. I felt devastated. I resigned from my job and decided to concentrate on reciting Buddhist scriptures at home and keeping liberating lives.
It was because of Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s mercy that I was fortunate to meet practitioner Tang when I accepted Dharma gems. Tang told me, “This is because you lack powerful vows, insufficient merits and virtues. You should conduct more merits and virtues. Make a vow to release more beings according to your financial capability. I realized then that I had not done enough good deeds and merits to resist the onset of killing karma. My karma broke again because of this.
That night, I made a big vow in front of Guan Yin Bodhisattva:
(1) To release fish under slaughter every day of that month, rain or shine;
(2) To pay my creditors 7 Little Houses every day;
(3) To convince sentient beings to practise Buddhism, and offer people Buddhist books whenever I meet them, and show them how to practise Buddhism and recite Buddhist scriptures;
(4) To daily recite 3 times Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance Text to specifically eliminate skin karma.
Within that period of time I was very productive and relaxing, and Buddhist scriptures were recited very smoothly. The most joyous thing was that the skin on my hands was getting better day by day and the skin ulcers were completely under control. It’s amazing how much improvement there is in just one month! They did not itch anymore at night and I could sleep comfortably. A month later, practitioner Sun helped me find a job where I could recite Buddhist scriptures during work. A warm current swept through my heart and I could not stop crying. I felt so happy and grateful, a feeling I had never experienced before in my life. Please accept my deepest gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva for Her merciful saving!
The four golden Buddhist practices, making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, performing life liberation, and reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, are truly efficacious! The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva is so mercy, letting me encounter such a wonderful Dharma Door at my most difficult time. The compassionate benefactor, Master Jun Hong Lu, who gave me hope. I was saved by the Dharma and deeply touched by the selfless and altruistic spirit of my benefactor. I was spurred on by His sincere teachings. Practitioners are not bonded by blood relationships, but our relationships are superior. Hence, I have no reason to be lazy and recessive in Buddhism. I am not afraid of difficulties. With the presence of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva, everything will be fine as long as I recite Buddhist scriptures and pay off my debts.
By December 2019, three and a half years had passed. I have recited a total of 3,500 Little Houses for my karmic creditors, released more than 40,000 lives specifically for skin illness, insisted on reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, and would often calm down to read Buddhism in Plain Terms in detail so that I could understand deeply and thoroughly the true meanings, kept on listening to Master Lu’s programs every day, such as questions and answers about Buddhism, and also watched videos of Dharma conventions regularly. I felt particularly full of Dharma joy. In the process of listening to and reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, I have collected some valuable contents that have played a significant role when giving alms to sentient beings, and certainly have helped me a lot in my own Buddhism journey. By performing the four golden Buddhist practices, making owes, reciting Buddhist scriptures, performing life liberation, and reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, I have completely recovered from my stubborn skin disease that has afflicted me for over 40 years! My sincere gratitude goes out to Great Guan Yin Bodhisattva! I am so grateful to Master Lu, who saved me from eczema torment and suffering for over 40 years!
I am grateful to the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva for bringing such a marvelous Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door into this world. I am also grateful for practicing such a wonderful Dharma Door. In this life, I am lucky to follow the benefactor Master Jun Hong Lu, to cultivate my mind and behaviors. His wise teachings lead me, the ignorant who lost in the Saha world, to be converted so I can find my way home. Once again, I am grateful to the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
I hope that my presentation can wake up your inner Buddha nature, help all sentient beings awaken, be free from suffering and attain happiness.
If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I beg all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions and the Dragon and Heavenly Guardian Bodhisattvas to mercifully forgive. I ask for the forgiveness of my benefactor, Master Lu, to mercifully forgive! I beg my fellow Buddhist practitioners to mercifully forgive and to comment and to correct. I thank you all.
I will be responsible for my own karma! My fellow Buddhist practitioners will not be responsible for my karma! Thanks to the Bodhisattva! Thank you, Master Lu! Thank you all!

运用心灵法门四大法宝成功治愈四十余年的皮肤病顽疾
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！
感恩龙天护法菩萨！
感恩恩师慈父！
感恩师兄们！
我叫YJ，女，1974年出生，来自中国江苏省。
下面我向大家分享用短短的三年半的时间，通过学习XL法门，运用XL法门四大法宝：许愿、念经、放生，诵读《白话佛法》治愈了困扰我40多年的皮肤病顽疾的灵验事例。希望我的分享能广结善缘，广度有缘！
一、多年的皮肤病顽疾带给我无尽的困扰与折磨
70年代出生的我，出生没有多久，父母就发现我的皮肤异样，脸上和身体的皮肤先褪皮，起小泡后一点点溃烂，溃烂由点连成片，最后抱也不能抱。父母带着我看遍了各大医院，确诊为湿疹。这个病反复发作，非常顽固，各家医院都无法医治，只能配点常用药应急。在皮肤病发作厉害的时候，全身长满了小水泡奇痒无比，我拼命地抓。家人只能用手套把我的手全部包起来。我晚上睡不好，白天没有精神，从小面黄肌瘦，皮肤上总是涂满了药膏。
我妈妈听别人说吃蛇可以治我的皮肤病。我吃了两次后发作得更加厉害，家人也就作罢了。但是，可怕的恶业也造下了。
在我38岁那年，皮肤病顽疾全面发作。我的双手的手心、手背和脸上奇痒无比。我的手上就像有东西在手上爬（学佛后才知道这就是吃蛇的报应)，只有抓出血再拿自来水冲才能缓解痒的症状。有位资深皮肤科教授看了我的病史后说：“你的皮肤病到你现在这年龄段还不好，将要携带终身”。
常年被皮肤病困扰的我彻底绝望了。多少次我从内心发出深深的呼唤：谁能救救我？谁能把我从这种病痛的折磨中解脱出来啊？！
二、有幸结缘心灵法门，皮肤病顽疾得到改善
一定是大慈大悲救苦救难的覌世音菩萨听到了我声声的呼唤，菩萨来救度我了！在大慈大悲覌世音菩萨的指引下，2016年2月在新的工作单位我有幸认识了孙佛友。她说，我的皮肤病可以通过心灵法门三大法宝许愿、念经、放生来缓解。我听了非常感兴趣。孙师兄就把《经文念诵合集》、《心灵法门入门手册》、《佛教经典组合念诵指南》还有《白话佛法》，录音机等法宝免费结缘给我。我如获至宝。当天，在休息时间我照着经书学念《大悲咒》。下班回到家，我马上把师兄结缘我的书一一打开阅读。看到书上一篇一篇的真实的案例分享，我感到无比的喜悦，心中升起了无限的希望。我觉得我的病有救了！ 第二天一大早5点，我就被很大的敲门声敲醒，出门看却没人。现在想来，肯定是护法神菩萨提醒我起来念经了。我用很短的时间就学会了念经和念经文组合。
学佛两个多月后，有一天孙师兄带我去放生，放生后来到老潘师兄家共修。老潘师兄说：念经的人最好是吃全素，要不念出来的经文质量会打折扣的。我马上在老潘师兄家里的佛台前上香，许愿我吃全素。
2016年6月，孙师兄帮我联系旭日东升师兄帮助我设了佛台。我发愿每月初一、十五放生。每天上好香，我坐佛台前念经时觉得特别法喜，念诵经文组合的速度也很快。每天，我还能喝到覌世音菩萨加持过的大悲水，晚上睡觉也踏实了，半夜被皮肤痒醒的次数也减少了，体质明显比以前好很多了。我坚持听恩师的录音开示，坚持读诵《白话佛法》，坚持给自己的要经者烧送经文组合。脸上和手上瘙痒的地方，我用大悲水擦洗。我还梦见师父来我梦里加持我，特别法喜。几个月下来，我脸上和手上的皮肤瘙痒情况大大的改善，身体上皮肤也有光泽了。由于坚持吃全素，我的身体从里到外有了质的改变。我像变了一个人一样似的。认识我的师兄们看到我的皮肤变好也都为我高兴。
三、加大愿力与功德，四十多年的皮肤病得康复
2017年我43岁，恰逢年龄的369关劫。5月份，我的业障爆发。我手上的皮肤病再次发作瘙痒难忍。我夜不能寐、辗转反侧。我在想：难道我哪里做错了吗？一天，老潘师兄告诉我，她梦见我前世是开海鲜店的老板。听到这个消息时我呆住了。我什么不好做去做这杀业？太可怕了！要造多大的业呀！前世的杀业恶因造成今世受皮肤病痛苦的果报。前世的钱财名利都带不到今世，唯有业障不离身。正像师父在《白话佛法》中开示的那样：万般带不走，只有业随身啊！ 再加上我学生时期又造下吃蛇的业障让我生不如死。正所谓自己造因自己受果报，因果报应何尝饶过谁？覌世音菩萨妈妈我错了，我全部跟覌世音菩萨妈妈深深的忏悔！
那段时间业障缠身，也让我的人生处处受阻，遇事不顺。人际交往也障碍重重非常不顺，处处被他人排挤，我要崩溃了。工作单位又不让我念经，我毅然辞职，决定在家安心地念经，坚持放生。
是覌世音菩萨妈妈慈悲，在一次结缘法宝的时候，有幸认识唐师兄。唐师兄告诉我：这是你的愿力不够、功德不够。要多做功德。根据自己的经济能力许愿多放生。师兄的提醒让我认识到：正是自己善德、功德做得不够，抵挡不住杀业的果报，才导致我的业障再次爆发啊。
当晚上香时，我在覌世音菩萨妈妈面前再次许下大愿:
1、当月每天放生，去菜市场救刀下鱼，风雨无阻。
2、每天烧送7张经文组合给自己的要经者。
3、出门多多度人，遇人就发佛法书籍给他们，度他们学佛念经。
4、每天的功课针对皮肤病的业障念诵3遍《礼佛大忏悔文》忏悔
那段时间我过得特别充实轻松，经文也念的特别顺畅。最法喜的是我手上的皮肤一天比一天有好转，皮肤上的溃烂完全控制住了。短短一个月有那么大的好转，太不可思议了！晚上也不痒了，觉也睡的踏实了。一个月后孙师兄又帮助我找到一份可以念经的工作，心里有股暖流让我止不住流下了眼泪，感到了这辈子从未有过的轻松幸福。太感恩覌世音菩萨慈悲救度我！
心灵法门的四大法宝许愿、念经、放生、读《白话佛法》真实不虚呀！大慈大悲的覌世音菩萨妈妈慈悲！让我在最最困难的时候遇见这么好的法门，遇见这幺慈悲的恩师慈父卢军宏台长，给了我希望。菩萨的妙法救度了我，恩师无我利他的精神深深的触动着我，恩师的谆谆教诲鞭策着我，师兄们不是亲人胜似亲人关爱着我，我还有什么理由懈怠、退缩？再难我也不怕，有覌世音菩萨妈妈在，只要我好好念经还债，一切都会好起来。
截至2019年12月，就这样在三年半的时间里，我共为自己的要经者念诵经文组合3500张，针对皮肤病放生40000多条生命，坚持读诵《白话佛法》，还经常会静下心来细读《白话佛法》，使自己能够理解，更深入透彻地理解师父的《白话佛法》真正的含义，每天坚持听师父的开示和佛学问答，还经常看师父法会视频，真是特别法喜。在听、看、读《白话佛法》的过程中，我将一些宝贵资料收藏起来，这些资料在法布施和渡人时都起到了重要作用，对我自身的学佛旅程也有很大的帮助。通过四大法宝念经、许愿、放生、读诵《白话佛法》，让我40多年的皮肤病顽疾彻底康复了！无比感恩我们伟大的覌世音菩萨！感恩恩师慈父！把我从40多年的皮肤病的困扰和折磨中拯救了出来！
感恩南无大慈大悲覌世音菩萨把这么好的心灵法门带到人间，让我能够学习到如此殊胜的心灵法门，今世又能跟随恩师慈父卢军宏台长修心修行，师父的谆谆教诲，引领着迷失在这娑婆世界里愚痴的我，让我的人生展开了新的旅程，让我心有所皈依，找到了回家的路。再次感恩大慈大悲的覌世音菩萨妈妈！
希望我今天的分享能够启迪大家的佛性，能让有缘众生早日破迷开悟，离苦得乐，感恩大家。
在分享过程中如有不如理不如法的地方，请南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感覌世音菩萨慈悲原谅！请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅！请恩师慈父慈悲原谅！请师兄们原谅及批评指正，感恩大家。我的业障自己背！不让师兄们背！感恩菩萨！感恩师父！感恩大家！
