Editor’s note: Before discovering Dharma, the author endured 10 years of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 6 years of myasthenia gravis (MG), the latter leaving her bedridden. However, after practicing Buddhism, both SLE and MG were cured. Furthermore, her husband’s high blood sugar normalized, his gout healed, her brother’s 20-year psoriasis was cured, and her mom’s Alzheimer’s disease and chronic nephritis also disappeared. Even her mom’s advanced gastric cancer was cured. Additionally, the positive impact of her practice extended to transforming her relatives and many other sentient beings into Buddhists.
1. I have completely recovered from systemic lupus erythematosus and myasthenia gravis
I am from Shanghai, China. When I was a child, I suffered from a facial hemangioma and underwent major surgery; my body often had nodules and lymphomas; I often suffered from habitual colds, and my fever eventually led to pneumonia. Each time it took more than a month to recover. Severe anemia resulted from my immunocompromised, with thrombocytopenia. I often fainted on the road.
When I was at school, I often took sick leave. After work, the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and myasthenia gravis (MG) pushed me into despair. Because of muscle weakness, my fingers don’t have the strength to work properly on the garment line. The supervisor sympathized with me and arranged for me a lighter job: stamping the certificate of conformity of the manufactured products. However, I couldn’t even lift a small stamp with my hand. Once I could not take off my pants when I used the toilet, so I had to ask my colleagues for help. My working life is 33 years, but my sick leave is 23 years.
When I was around 30 years old, SLE and MG affected my heart beating and my lungs breathing. I couldn’t lie on my back, so I could only half lie on the bed. Due to muscle weakness, the gallbladder was atrophied, bile was unable to discharge, and gallbladder pain was extremely painful. The uterus shrank, and period blood couldn’t be excreted through the uterus. Therefore, I had to undergo surgery to remove both the gallbladder and the uterus. SLE skin disease required long-term use of hormones and drugs, which damaged liver and kidney function, and caused oral ulcers and periodontitis, making eating extremely painful.
As time passes, the condition becomes worse and worse. I had pain all over, chest tightness, shortness of breath, weakened immunity, and I was very prone to colds and fevers. Later, the illness gradually developed to the point where I couldn’t move my whole body and collapsed on the bed. I couldn’t take care of myself, and couldn’t even hold a piece of paper. My husband had to go to work, and after returning home, he had to undertake heavy housework, take care of the children, and take care of me. I could only lie on the bed and watch all this helplessly. Helplessness and indescribable pain in my heart let tears soak my cheeks.
In desperation, I starved myself to death. As a result, my family sent me to the hospital with needles all over my body. My life was worse than death. In fact, I didn’t even have the ability to die.
My lifespan is at most 15 years over the course of the disease cycle and autoimmunity, according to an expert doctor, and there is no cure for this disease. In other words, my life is 45 years old. It was a bolt out of the blue for me.
Just when I was at the lowest point and most desperate in my life, the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva heard the cry in my heart, rescuing living beings upon hearing their suffering, and let me encounter the Dharma. At that time, in order to save my life, my mother offered incense and prayed to Buddha in every temple she visited. When praying to Guan Yin Bodhisattva on Mount Putuo, she met a Buddhist monk. The Buddhist monk walked to my mother and said to my mother, “Hurry up and save your daughter. Human beings have ‘3 immortal subsouls and 6 mortal subsouls’ (note: ‘3 immortal subsouls and 6 mortal subsouls’ for ‘三魂六魄’ may not be an accurate translation. I will update this term once I find the accurate translation), and your daughter has lost 1 immortal subsoul and 1 mortal subsoul.” Then, the Buddhist monk instructed my mother to teach me how to recite Buddhist scriptures every day.
Following the Buddhist monk’s instructions, I started learning Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures. Since then, my life has ushered in the dawn. On the third day after reciting Buddhist scriptures, I could move my hands and legs. One month later, I could get up and walk around. The doctor exclaimed: This is really a miracle!
In 2014, fortunately, I was fascinated by watching the totem reading video of Master Lu in WeChat (a free messaging and calling app) Moments. From this video, I realized the reason why I had been so sick and difficult in this life. It turned out that this was all caused by my previous life, and I owed too much debt; the experience in this life is actually the punishment I must bear. It is these totem reading videos that saved my physical and spiritual life. I made up my mind to practise the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, and I made a vow to become a vegetarian 5 months later.
If thoughts are sincere, the Buddha will respond. The benevolent Master Lu came to my dream to bless me and teach me how to recite the Little Houses. I get up at 4 o’clock every day to do my daily recitation. I read Buddhism in Plain Terms, listen to Master Lu’s lecture recordings, release lives, spread Dharma, and transform people with fellow Dharma practitioners. I could recite more than 8 Little Houses every day without distracting thoughts and later reached 10-13 sheets per day. Every time I encountered a problem, Master Lu’s Dharmakaya gave me advice in my dream.
Three months later, my family accidentally discovered that I “ate faster than before”. Only then did I realize that the oral ulcers and periodontitis that had accompanied me for many years had healed. During the Spring Festival of 2017, Guan Yin Bodhisattva came to my dream and removed the egg-sized tumor in my armpit. A few months later, I discovered by accident that the tumor that had been warned by the doctor that it was likely to undergo pathological changes had really disappeared.
Now I am happy. I eat well, sleep well, and don’t need medicine. I am full of energy, and I have no problem lifting 1-2 kilograms or heavier things. All my body indexes are basically up to standard. What is even more astonishing is that during my 3 years studying Buddhism, I attended 13 Dharma Conferences and served as a volunteer at 8 Dharma Conferences.
Fig. 1. In March 2023, I presented a lecture to encourage new Dharma practitioners to have more faith in Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and senior practitioners to cultivate minds and bodies more diligently using my own and my family’s experiences. Standing in front of the room talking for an hour was no longer a problem for me. Can you image I have suffered over 10 years of SLE and 6 years of MG before?
2. My husband’s blood sugar normalized and gout also healed
In 2016, my husband turned 63, entering his 369 predestined calamity age. He normally does not eat snacks, but suddenly had a craving for them, eating from morning to night, and eating snacks before he went to sleep. The more he ate, the thinner he became. I felt something was wrong and took him to the hospital for a checkup. His diagnosis shocked me. His pre-meal blood sugar was 18.2, post-meal blood sugar was 28.2, and a variety of other indexes were bad. He was prescribed many medicines. One of the medicines, metformin tablets, has significant side effects and directly affects liver and kidney health.
There is a saying that “a long illness makes you a good doctor”. In my case, I have been ill for a long time, so I have taken many medicines to treat SLE. SLE was not cured, but the side effects of the medicines caused MG. Hence, I opposed my husband taking too many medicines.
As a result of studying Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, I learned that there are two types of illnesses: physical and karmic (spiritual) illnesses. Physical illnesses can be treated by doctors, but karmic illnesses are very difficult to treat with medicine alone. In order to cure karmic illnesses, one must practice the five golden Buddhist practices: making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, performing life liberation, reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, and repenting of wrongdoings and refraining from doing them. Only by removing karma can karmic (spiritual) illness be cured. As diabetes is also a karmic disease, I convinced my husband to recite Buddhist scriptures for healing.
In the years he has served me, he has witnessed how I have evolved from being a bedridden patient with no strength, needing assistance, to a healthy person who is now frisky and ready to propagate the Dharma. He also felt that our Dharma Door was incredibly efficacious and decided to join me in practicing Buddhism. I can’t tell you how happy I was to see that he was determined to become a vegetarian and recite Buddhist scriptures. In order to encourage him and let him witness Buddhism’s magic, I also quietly helped him recite Little Houses. In less than 3 months, without taking a single pill, his blood sugar dropped from 18.2 to 5.3, completely normal! He witnessed the miracle himself and became more confident in Buddhism. During the past 7 years, he kept reciting Buddhist scriptures, eating vegetarian food and releasing lives. Despite never deliberately avoiding sugar, his blood sugar remains at about 5.3.
What is more surprising is that his gout, which had bothered him for more than 10 years, has been cured.
3. My brother successfully cured his psoriasis after nearly 20 years of suffering
My younger brother is a businessman. In the past, he ate all kinds of raw seafood, unknowingly, and retribution came. He developed psoriasis around 39. He did not have a single piece of intact skin all over his body, making him suffer a lot. He has been to all the major hospitals and used many prescriptions, and spent nearly one million CNY (~$145K US), but his condition is getting serious and deteriorating. Despite my repeated recommendations for him to practice Buddhism, my sister-in-law (wife of my younger brother) has repeatedly refused to do so. She always thought I advocated superstition, and even more disdainfully said: “If everyone gets well after reciting Buddhist scriptures, why do we need the hospital?” In this way, she kept me out again and again.
In 2019, I visited my mother who lives with my younger brother. My mother was 82 years old and believed in Buddhism and recited Buddhist scriptures. She cried and said to me, “Just help your younger brother recite the Little Houses. He now has ulcerated psoriasis wounds all over his body and cannot wear clothes. Even the doctors turn him back and can’t treat him.” I replied, “One must pay one’s own debts. Those who eat food and those who are full. If he is willing to practice Buddhism and recite Buddhist scriptures, I will definitely help him. If he doesn’t recite Buddhist scriptures, I can’t help him.”
Then, I headed to my younger brother’s home. Looking at his bloody wounds, my heart ached and I implored him to recite Buddhist scriptures. I said to him, “Skin diseases are also karmic diseases. Now that the doctors have rebuffed you, the only way to save you is Buddhism. This is the last straw. You listen to your elder sister. Try it first. If reciting Buddhist scriptures for 3 weeks does not work, do not recite. With no other choice, he agreed to try.
After returning home, I prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to save my younger brother and to show my sister-in-law that our Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door is true. Since my brother promised to recite Buddhist scriptures, I helped his karmic creditors with 21 Little Houses. Two weeks later, I visited my younger brother again. He could already put on his clothes. He also showed me that his wounds were gradually healing. Psoriasis receded. It was a miracle I did not expect!
After that, his skin condition got better and better. On the day of his housewarming, relatives and friends congratulated him. They were surprised to see him dressed in short clothes and pants. He has not worn short clothes and pants for many years because of psoriasis. “Why are you wearing short clothes and pants today? “Everyone asked him where he got his psoriasis cured, and how it was cured. Both my mother and my younger brother answered that they thanked me for awakening him to practice Buddhism and recite Buddhist scriptures so that he could be reborn. My younger brother’s Dharma presentation has caused my relatives to believe in Buddhism and add me to their WeChat one after another. They followed me to practice Buddhism. It was really Dharma joyous!
4. Mother survived 77 and 79 age-associated predestined calamities, was cured of Alzheimer’s disease, and no longer required dialysis
In 2015, my mother was 78 years old. Master Lu enlightened us that 77 and 79 are both predestined calamity ages, so my mother had already entered a dangerous period of her life. On the third day of the Spring Festival, she suddenly fell out of bed, unconscious, and pooped on her pants. She was rushed to the hospital emergency room where a CT scan revealed a brain stem infarction. The doctor said the brain infarction location was not good, and we had to be prepared. Winter is a period of high incidence of heart and brain diseases, so hospital beds are tight. In this emergency, I made a vow to heaven on the spot in the hospital: “I will release 1200 crucian carp, 49 turtles, 49 blackfish, recite 108 Little Houses and transfer the merits and virtues of internet Dharma propagation to my mother.” I prayed that Bodhisattva’s mercy would allow my mother to be admitted to the ward so that she could receive better treatment.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the doctor informed us to check in for hospitalization. The families of the patients in the nearby emergency room told us they had been there for 5 days. They had not been admitted to the ward. We came in last night and were admitted to the ward the next day, and they thought we had bribed the doctors. At this point, I really felt the Dharma treasures of “making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and performing life liberation” was so effective! Perhaps my filial piety touched the Bodhisattva, and more surprises came one after another. The day after she was admitted to the hospital, my mother woke up and could move her arms and legs freely. All expensive imported medicines were not needed. Even the doctor said there was a miracle! We used all the money saved from imported medicines for liberating lives.
Although she was discharged from the hospital, she still suffered from the problem of her brain stem infarction. From then on, she got amnesia, mania, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). She quarreled with my brother-in-law at home every day. She suspected my sister-in-law of stealing from her and then poisoning the food she ate. Every day the family was in turmoil. My brothers wanted to commit her to a mental hospital, but I stopped them.
I told my younger brother and sister-in-law to give me 3 weeks to help her recite Buddhist scriptures. If she did not get better, send her to a mental institution according to your suggestion; if she became better, she would continue to live with you. When I got home, I hurriedly offered incense and made a vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva that I would help my mother recite 108 Little Houses for her karmic creditors within 3 weeks, release 1200 fish for her, and transfer 50% of the merits and virtues of my online Dharma propagation to her. After 108 Little Houses were paid, her condition did not improve significantly.
Therefore, I made another vow to recite 108 Little Houses for her karmic creditors. Just after the 42nd Little Houses were paid to her creditors, one morning, she suddenly walked up to my younger brother and sister-in-law as if she were a new person and said to them, “I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you.” My younger brother called me happily, “Mom recovered. Thank you, elder sister! If you hadn’t used Buddhism to save our mother, I don’t know what would have happened to her now.”
Fig. 2. My mom just recovered from AD in 2015. She was reciting Buddhist scriptures with an e-counter on her index finger.
My younger brother also told me that my sister-in-law cried with sadness and regret when she saw that my mother had recovered from AD. My sister-in-law’s parents also suffered from AD. Since she did not believe in Buddhism at the time, they sent their parents to a nursing home one after another. Within 6 months, my sister-in-law’s parents died one after another. Although I had offered her all the Dharma treasures a long time ago, she had no faith in Dharma. She had not practiced, so she missed her filial duty to her parents. Therefore, she was very regretful and grieved.
Through practicing Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures, my mother’s creatinine index has also stabilized. She originally had chronic nephritis and needed blood dialysis, but now she no longer needs it. Although my mother cannot read or write, with my guidance, she now recites Buddhist scriptures herself every day and can recite 1-2 Little Houses.
5. The Three Golden Buddhist Practices are excellent, transforming advanced gastric cancer into gastritis
In 2023, my mother is 86 years old, entering her 369 predestined calamity age. Before the Spring Festival of 2023, my mother’s karma broke out: vomiting and diarrhea, unbearable stomach pain, vomiting from whatever she ate; she could not stop the pain without an infusion every day. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when she was in the emergency room of a general hospital for an infusion suddenly the pain became unbearable and she vomited again. The doctor said, “Call an ambulance and take her to a big hospital!” After a series of tests in the big hospital she was finally diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. So, the doctor arranged a bed for her and prepared her for surgery in a few days. The doctor said that “given the condition, your mother’s stomach cancer existed for at least 10 years.”
I think my mother has advanced stomach cancer. Since she was old and frail, we should not let her suffer surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Master Lu enlightened us that cancer is a spiritual disease, so I should make a big vow. At this point, I thought of Dharma practitioner Dai nearby. The doctor said that her husband was in the advanced stage of thymoma. The tumor was huge and compressed the heart, so he might die immediately. Hospitals could not operate on or do chemotherapy. Practitioner Dai saved her husband by practicing Three Golden Buddhist Practices (making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and performing life liberation). Now her husband, who is also a disciple of Master Lu, has been cured of thymic cancer for 6-7 years. Therefore, I believe that through practicing Three Golden Buddhist Practices of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door of reciting scriptures, making vows and releasing lives, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, my mother will definitely get better.
During the 2023 Spring Festival, our Dharma promotion team was very busy. Practitioners from other places invited us to propagate the Dharma as guest speakers. During those days my mother was in hospital. I was very hesitant about travelling out of town. However, our Dharma propagation date was set long ago. Practitioners from other places had prepared very well for our coming. Fellow practitioners dreamed several times that a Dharma Conference would be held before we arrived there. How could I retreat? How could I let the Bodhisattva and Master down? In the end, I chose to promote Dharma!
When I arrived at the other place, my younger brother told me that our mother was about to have an operation. I wanted to release fish for her, but during the Spring Festival period, many fish peddlers returned home for the New Year. There were no fish on the market. I couldn’t help but be sad and shed tears! However, a fellow practitioner saw a fish peddler in the WeChat Moment who still sold fish. Gratitude to the Bodhisattva for Her mercy and blessing! I asked my fellow practitioners to help me buy 1200 carp, 49 turtles and 49 blackfish and release them for my mother in two days. On the spot, my fellow practitioners also recited the Great Compassion Mantra for my mother. They all prayed and wished my mother a speedy recovery. I also transferred 30% of the merits and virtues of the daily Dharma propagation and 50% of the merits and virtues of the three days of Dharma propagation out of town to my mother. I made a vow to help my mother’s karmic creditors recite 1000 Little Houses in two years. The next day, my fellow practitioners contributed money and volunteered to release another batch of 1200 carp for my mother. They recited the Great Compassion Mantra for her. I was very touched by their profound compassion and unfathomable mercy! I am grateful!
I am grateful to the Bodhisattva for blessing my mother with compassion! A miracle really happened! On the third day, my mother recovered like a normal person and recited the sutra in her hospital bed. The doctor and people in the same ward said, “The old lady is really incredible. How can she be so different from yesterday?
We decided not to let my mother have surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and let her return home. The doctor frightened my younger brother, saying, “Your mother’s illness is so serious that she will be sent back right after discharge.” My younger brother was scared and hesitated. I said, “Don’t be afraid. If our mother has surgery and is covered with tubes, her quality of life will definitely be compromised, so it’s better to let her finish her life well. I’ll take care of her, don’t worry!” Then, I calmly said to my younger brother, “Let our mother be discharged from the hospital! You will take care of her life, and I will help her get rid of her illness!” My brother was so convinced that I would perform another miracle that he agreed to take her home from the hospital to care for her.
After returning home, I repaid my mother’s creditors with Little Houses every day. I released fish on a large scale 2 more times for her. I released some fish that would be slaughtered one after another. I transferred some merits and virtues of Dharma propagation to my mother. The doctor warned her that she could not eat rice but rice porridge after discharge. However, my mother could eat rice normally, and not vomit anymore! My younger brother felt she was even more energetic than in the hospital!
My younger brother was still uneasy and thought she was a brief revival. So, he took our mother to another big hospital for another checkup and gave all the test reports and films to the specialist. Surprisingly, in just over two months, a very large stomach tumor became smaller. In the last film, the tumor could hardly be seen. Finally, the specialist confirmed gastritis. The specialist was shocked, and he said, “Such a patient has never been seen before. It’s unbelievable!”
Fig. 3. My mom is in good condition. Photo was taken in spring 2023 after her stomach cancer healed.
One day, my mother said to my younger brother, “If you plan a trip, avoid double ceasing days (Saturday and Sunday) because your elder sister has to travel to spread the Dharma and do merits and virtues on these days and cannot come to take care of me. The only way to save me is to let her do more merits and virtues.” Now, whenever I say I’m going to spread Dharma, the whole family supports me!
I am truly grateful to the Bodhisattva for curing my mother’s stomach cancer and giving me more motivation to help more sentient beings. Like our Master, I want to make it my mission to spread the Dharma and benefit sentient beings!
Gratitude to the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Gratitude to the selfless and altruistic Master Lu! A proverb says, “A mother makes a home.” It is the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door that saved our whole family and enabled us to practice filial piety for our parents. Recently, I repay my mother’s karmic creditors 14 Little Houses per week and pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to protect my mom safe and sound.
My family, my mother’s family, my husband’s family, and my neighbors, as long as they know me, nearly all of them practice Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. In a dream, Master Lu took me to Guan Yin Citta Pure Land (On the east side of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is Guan Yin Citta Pure Land). Master Lu told me that He was waiting for us in Guan Yin Citta Pure Land. We all are children of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and we all are children of Master Lu. Together, let’s make this marvelous Dharma bloom everywhere.
My deepest gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!
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!
Presenter: Dharma practitioner Zheng, Gratitude and Namaste!
DISCUSSION
In the case of treating SLE, the use of medication led to the development of MG, ultimately resulting in the patient becoming bedridden. The adoption of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door is credited with her recovery. This situation highlights a common paradox in Western medicine when dealing with intractable diseases. Treating the disease may introduce new health issues due to medication side effects, while not treating the disease leads to continued suffering for the patient. In some cases, patients may not be fully informed about the potential side effects of medications. Even when aware, deciding whether to proceed with treatment can be challenging. The presentation suggests that this dilemma arises from a limited understanding of intractable diseases, resulting in treatments that address symptoms rather than the root cause.
The specific example of treating SLE underscores the importance of addressing the root cause rather than focusing solely on symptom management. Ms. Zheng’s experience in navigating these health challenges, despite not having a formal medical education, is presented as a valuable lesson. Her Dharma journey, marked by personal healing and subsequently assisting her husband, brother, and mother in overcoming their illnesses, is framed as a transformative and educational process.
The lessons learned by her had a positive impact on her husband and mother. She intervened when her husband was prescribed medication with potential liver and kidney side effects for high blood sugar, preventing him from taking it. She also canceled her brother’s plan to use medication with side effects for her mother’s AD, opting for an alternative approach. When her mother faced stomach cancer, she avoided the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, following an alternative path. According to Master Lu, these conventional treatments are punishments from underworld for human wrongdoings. Ms. Zheng’s successes are presented as offering a more favorable option for her relatives in managing health challenges.
The encounter with Dharma and the ability to eliminate karma through Golden Buddhist Practices is really a profound blessing, emphasizing the absence of side effects and the potential for additional benefits from this form of treatment. The example of Ms. Zheng’s mother illustrates this point. Had she been sent to a mental hospital for AD, she might have faced a premature death similar to her sister-in-law’s parents. In such a scenario, her mother’s heavy karma might have hindered a favorable reincarnation.
Master Lu’s teachings indicate that individuals who die from malignant diseases are generally sent to the underworld. Ms. Zheng’s mother, with evidence of heavy karma leading to stomach cancer at 86, is believed to have lightened her karma through the ascension of the cancer spirit. This, in turn, increases her chances of entering the Four Sagely Realms. Even if the Four Sagely Realms are not attainable, there is still the possibility of entering the Heaven realm, which consists of 33 layers. The degree of one’s karma determines the level of Heaven accessible, influencing the duration of stay in Heaven. This perspective is framed as a hopeful outcome resulting from the reduction of karma through Dharma practices.
A longer lifespan holds significant value for Buddhists, as it allows more opportunities to engage in practices that reduce karma and accelerate the journey towards higher spiritual realms, such as Heaven or beyond. Certainly, a longer lifespan provides more opportunities for non-Buddhists to encounter Dharma, mature in their affinity with Buddha and embrace the Dharma, facilitating greater chances for spiritual growth and enlightenment.
In contrast to the Four Sagely Realms, Heaven undergoes a rebirth cycle within the 6 realms. The motivation to reach Heaven is compared to the desire for advancement from developing to developed regions, reflecting the universal aspiration for upward progression. The rationale is rooted in the belief that lower realms entail more suffering, while higher realms offer greater joy. Additionally, it’s noted that in Heaven, individuals can continue cultivating the mind, and Master Lu’s teachings suggest that around 20% of Heaven beings actively practice Buddhism, preparing for entry into the Four Sagely Realms.
CONCLUSION
The Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door offers a feasible approach to maintaining both mental and physical health, emphasizing its effectiveness without causing side effects and highlighting the invaluable benefits it provides.

一家人患上八种疑难杂症，遇到佛法，迎刃而解
感恩南无释迦牟尼佛！
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LJH台长！
一、学佛后，我十多年的红斑狼疮、六年重症肌无力彻底康复
我来自中国上海。我在儿时患了脸血管瘤，动过大手术；身体经常会生出结节、淋巴瘤；我常常习惯性感冒，发烧必成肺炎，每次都要一个多月才能好转。由于我的免疫功能低下导致严重贫血，并伴有血小板减少。我经常会在马路上晕倒。上学时，我经常请病假。工作后，红斑狼疮、肌无力的确诊更是把我推向了绝望的深渊。因为肌无力的原因，我的手指没力气在服装流水线上正常工作。领导同情我，安排我轻松一点的工作，给出厂产品的合格证上盖章。但是，我的手连一枚小小的图章都提不起来。严重时，我上厕所自己无力脱裤子，只好求助于同事。我的工龄是33年，但是我的病假就长达23年。
在我30岁左右时，我的病情已经影响到我的心脏跳到和肺呼吸了。我不能平躺，只能半卧在床。由于肌无力，引起胆囊萎缩，胆汁无力排出，胆囊疼痛无比。子宫萎缩，女性最重要的生理期更是无法通过子宫排出。于是，只好手术把胆囊和子宫全部摘除。红斑狼疮皮肤病需长期服用激素和药物，损坏了我的肝和肾功能，并引起口腔溃疡、牙周炎，使得进食疼痛无比。
随着时间的推移，病情发展越来越严重。我浑身疼痛，胸闷，气急，免疫力下降，极易感冒发烧。后来，病情逐步发展到全身无法动弹，只能瘫倒在床，生活不能自理，连一张纸都拿不起来。先生既要上班，回家后又要承担繁重的家务 ，照顾孩子，还要照顾我，而我只能躺在病床上无能为力地看着这一切。心中的痛苦、无奈、无以言表，任凭眼泪浸湿脸颊。
在绝望中我曾选择绝食，结果被家人送进医院浑身扎满针眼，生不如死。其实，我连死的能力都没有。专家说，按照发病周期以及自身免疫力情况，我的生命最多还有15年的时间，而且世界上没有治愈的先例。也就是说，我的生命缘分大概在 45 岁左右。这对我而言简直是晴天霹雳。
就在我人生最低谷最绝望的时候，大慈大悲的观世音菩萨听见了我内心的呼喊，闻声救苦，让我闻到了佛法。那时，母亲为了救我，四处敬香求佛。在普陀山拜求观世音菩萨时，她遇见了一位法师。法师走到母亲身边，对我母亲说：“你赶快回去救你女儿吧，人有三魂六魄，你的女儿一魂一魄已经没有了”。然后，法师交代我母亲教会我每天如何念经。遵照法师的指点我开始学佛念经了，从此我的人生迎来了曙光。念经后的第三天，我的手能动了，双腿也可以自行移动了，一个月后竟可以起床走动了。医生惊叹道：这真是奇迹啊！
2014年偶然的一次机缘，我在朋友圈里看到了恩师卢台长的图腾视频入了迷，并从中领悟到自己今世为何多病多难。原来这都是我前世造的因，欠了太多的债；今生的遭遇就是我要尝的果。正是这些图腾视频，救了我的生命和慧命。我下定决心修学心灵法门，5个月后许愿吃全素。人有诚心，佛有感应。慈悲的师父亲自来到我的梦中加持，教给我念诵经文组合的方法。我每天 4 点起床做功课，看《白话佛法》，听师父的开示录音，与师兄们一起放生、弘法、度人。我每天能心无杂念地念诵 8 张以上经文组合，后来达到 10-13张。每次遇到问题时，师父的法身就会来梦里对我开示点化。
三个月后的某一天，家里人无意中发现我“怎么吃饭比以前快了”。我才意识到伴随我多年的口腔溃疡、牙周炎已经痊愈了。2017年春节时，观世音菩萨来到我的梦中，将我长在腋下那颗鸡蛋大小的肿瘤摘除了。几个月后，我无意中发现，这个曾经被医生警告很可能会病变的肿瘤真的消失了。
现在的我是最快乐的，吃得香，睡得好，不用吃药，浑身是劲，提起一两公斤甚至更重的东西也完全没有问题。我身体的各项指标经基本合格。更无法想到的是，学佛三年中，我能够参加13次法会，破例做了 8 次法会义。
二、先生通过学佛念经，血糖正常了，痛风也好了
2016年，先生63岁，到了他的369关。平时不吃零食的他，突然之间嘴馋，一天从早吃到晚，临睡前还要吃小点心，而且越吃越瘦。我感觉不对劲，带他去医院做了检查。不查不知道，一查吓一跳。先生餐前血糖18.2，餐后血糖28.2，各种指标都不好。医生给他开了很多药。其中有一种药，二甲双胍片，副作用很大，直接影响肝脏、肾脏健康。
所谓“久病成良医”。由于我自己长期以来生病，吃过很多药，病没治好，反而因为药的副作用引起了更多的病，所以我很反对先生吃太多的药。
通过学习心灵法门，我知道了人有两种病：肉体病和灵性（业障）病。肉体病找医生，一般都能治疗好，但是业障病，单单通过医学，很难看好，需要通过五大法宝“许愿、念经、放生、读诵《白话佛法》、大忏悔”，才能消除业障，从而让身体机能得到根本的修复。糖尿病其实也是业障病的一种，于是我就劝说先生念经治病。
先生因为多年服侍我，亲眼见证我从一个多年卧床、手无缚鸡之力、需要别人服侍的人，到现在能活蹦乱跳、能四处弘法度人的人。他也觉得我们的法门灵验无比，决定和我一起学佛念经。看到先生决心吃素念经了，我是说不出的高兴。为了鼓励他，让他见证佛法的神奇，我也悄悄助缘，帮他念诵经文组合。就这样，短短3个月不到的时间里，没吃一颗药，他的血糖从原先18.2直接降到5.3，完全正常了！先生看到了奇迹，也更坚定了学佛的信心。七年来，他坚持念经、吃素、放生，从不忌糖，但血糖一直保持在5.3左右。
更惊喜的是，困扰先生10多年的痛风也不知不觉好了。
三、劝导弟弟学佛念经，治好了他近20年的牛皮癣
我的弟弟是个生意人。以前，生猛海鲜他样样吃，不知不觉报应来了。大约39岁那年，他患上了牛皮癣。他浑身上下没有一块完整的皮肤，让他痛苦不堪。他看遍了各大医院，也用过很多偏方，化费了近100多万人民币，病情却越来越严重。我曾多次劝他学佛念经，但是弟弟和弟媳都不相信。弟媳总以为我在宣传迷信，更是不屑地说：”如果大家念经后身体会好，那还要医院干吗？“就这样，她一次次把我挡在门外。
2019年，我去看望我母亲。母亲80多岁了，也信佛念经。她哭着对我说：“你就帮帮你兄弟念念经文组合吧。他现在全身牛皮癣伤口溃烂，无法穿衣服。连医生都回绝他，无法帮他治疗。”我说：“自己的债一定要自己还，各人吃饭各人饱。他如果愿意学佛念经，我一定会帮他。他如果不念经，我也帮不了他。”
于是，我再次去弟弟家。看着弟弟血淋淋的伤口，我的心很痛，再一次恳请他念经。我对弟弟说，皮肤病也是业障病。现在医生也回绝你了，能救你的唯一方法就是学佛念经。这是最后一根救命稻草。你听姐姐的，先试试看。如果念经3个星期没有效果，你就不要念了。在万般无奈的情况下，弟弟答应学佛念经了。
回到家，我上香的时候祈求观世音菩萨能够救救我的弟弟，也要让弟媳看看我们的法门真实不虚。因为弟弟答应念经了，所以我助缘了21张经文组合给他的要经者。没想到，真的出现了奇迹！两个星期后，我再次去弟弟家拜访。他已经能穿上衣服了。他还给我看，他的伤口也渐渐愈合了。牛皮癣也退了好多。
之后，弟弟的皮肤病越来越向好的方向发展。在他乔迁之喜的日子里，亲戚朋友都来贺喜。他们看到我弟弟穿起了短衣、短裤，都觉得很惊讶。弟弟因为牛皮癣的缘故，多年没有穿过短衣、短裤了。”怎么今天穿起短衣短裤了？“大家都在询问他的牛皮癣在哪里治好的？怎么治好的？母亲和弟弟都说，感谢姐姐度化我学佛念经，让我得以重生。弟弟的现身说法，使亲戚们都加我微信，跟我一起学佛念经了。真是太法喜了！
四、三大法宝保佑母亲度过77岁和79岁关劫，治愈了她的老年痴呆症，并从此免去血透之苦
2015年，我母亲78岁。师父开示过，77岁和79岁都是劫，所以我妈妈已经踏入危险年龄段了。大年初三，她突然从床上摔下来，不省人事，大小便都拉在裤子上。我们连忙把她送到医院急诊室，CT显示是脑干脑梗。医生说脑梗的位置不好，你们要有心里准备。冬季是心脑病高发期，医院床位紧张。在这紧急关头，在医院里，我对着天空当场许愿：给母亲放生1200条鲫鱼、49只甲鱼、49条黑鱼、108张经文组合，并转让了网络法布施的功德。我祈求菩萨慈悲能让我母亲住进病房，让母亲得到更好的治疗。
没想到，第二天一大早，医生就通知我们去办理住院手续。周边急诊的病人家属告诉我们，他们进急诊5天了，也没有住进病房。我们昨天晚上才来，第二天就能住进病房了，还以为我们是走后门送礼了。这时，我更加真切地感受到“许愿、念经、放生”三大法宝的神奇作用，太灵验了！或许是我的孝心感动了菩萨，更多惊喜连连出现。入院第二天，母亲就苏醒了，而且手脚活动自如。本来需要用很昂贵的进口药也都不用了。连医生都说出现了奇迹！我们把省下的钱都放生了。
母亲是和我弟弟、弟媳一起住的。她虽然出院了，毕竟是脑干脑梗，还是留下了后遗症。从那以后，她得了失忆症、狂躁症、老年痴呆症，天天在家和弟媳妇吵架。她一会儿怀疑弟媳妇偷她东西，一会怀疑弟媳妇往她吃的饭里下毒药，天天把家里搞得鸡犬不宁。几个兄弟都想把老母亲送到精神病院去，但被我阻止了。
我对弟弟、弟媳说，给我3个星期时间，我帮母亲念经。如果母亲没有得到改善，就按你们的方法做，送去精神病院；如果好了，就继续在弟弟家安养天年。我回家后，赶紧上香跟菩萨许愿：三周内帮母亲烧送108张经文组合，放生1200条鱼，把当月网络法布施的功德转给母亲50％。第一拔108张经文组合烧送后，母亲并没有明显好转。
于是，我再许愿念诵108张经文组合。就在第二波经文组合烧送了42张的时候，突然有天早上，母亲像换了一个人一样，走到弟弟、弟媳面前对他们说：“对不起，给你们添麻烦了。”我弟弟高兴地打电话给我：“妈妈好了，谢谢你姐姐。如果不是你用佛法救母亲，母亲现在不知道会怎样了。”
弟弟还说，弟媳看到我母亲病好了，哭得很伤心、很后悔。因为她想起了，她的父母也是老年痴呆症。由于她当初不信佛，所以她们姐妹先后把她们的父母送去养老院。不到半年，弟媳的父母相继去世。虽然我早就把所有的法宝都给她了，但是她一直不信佛、没有学，错失良机，没有为自己的爹妈尽到孝心。所以，弟媳很后悔、很伤心。
通过学佛念经，母亲的肌酐指标也稳定了。她本来有慢性肾炎的，需要做血透的，现在也不要做了。母亲虽然不识字，在我的指导帮助下，现在她自己也每天念经，还能念出1-2张经文组合。
感恩伟大的观世音菩萨！感恩无我利他的师父！“有妈在，家就在！”是心灵法门救了我们全家，让我们能够为父母尽孝。我现在每周给妈妈的要经者14张小房子，请菩萨保佑我妈妈能够平平安安。
如今，我们家，我娘家，我婆家，我邻居，只要认识我的基本上都在修我们法门。曾经，梦里师父带我参观心灵净土。师父说，师父在天上等着我们。
我们都是菩萨的孩子，我们也是师父的孩子，让我们携起手来，让这么好的佛法遍地开花。
再次感恩南无释迦牟尼佛，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LJH台长！
有不如理不如法之处，祈请南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅！请十方三世诸佛菩萨和龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅！请师兄们批评指正！我自己的业自己背，不让师兄们背！
