Editor’s note: The opportunity to encounter Dharma is extremely rare. This can be seen in the Verse for Opening a Sutra by Empress Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty (665-705): “The unsurpassed, profound, and wonderful Dharma, is difficult to encounter in hundreds of millions of kalpas. I now see and hear it, receive and uphold it, and I vow to fathom the Tathagata’s true meaning.”
Hello everyone! I am Dharma practitioner Wang. It is with great gratitude that I am here to share with you my story of practicing Buddhism. The title is: My epileptic daughter miraculously recovered via Buddhism
I’ve believed in Buddhism since I was a child. I like to listen to people talk about Buddhism. My grandmother’s family also worshiped Guan Yin Bodhisattva, so I should have some affinity for Buddhism. I came into contact with Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door when I found out that my daughter had severe epilepsy.
My daughter was a bright, kind, healthy child who did well at school. In 2016, when she was in the third grade of elementary school (about 9 years old), she began to show symptoms of epilepsy. At first, her symptoms were mild and she got better immediately after the seizure. When she was admitted to the local hospital for an examination, she was wrongly treated for a viral cold. Later, she was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was taken to an authoritative hospital in Shanghai for an examination. For the next six months, she travelled to the hospital every month for checkups. She took her medication on time and in the right amount when she returned home. However, her seizures became more frequent and severe. Every time she had a seizure, she became very poor – her face was black, she kept coughing and foaming, and her body was twisted, stiff and unconscious. This state was very disturbing to watch and lasted for several minutes, and it took a long time to recover consciousness. After each attack, she was very weak, dizzy and had a headache, and needed to sleep for half a day to recover. Her pain was worse than death. We were in fear all day long.
Before the child’s attack, we ate live seafood at home, often and in large quantities.
Faced with our sick daughter, we were puzzled and helpless. Why did our daughter’s condition not improve even though we took care of her carefully and followed the doctor’s medication prescriptions? There was nothing the doctor could do but increase the medicine dosage. As time passed, she had seizures every few days. Every time I received a call from the teacher, I was shocked. Epilepsy seriously affected her studies, and her academic performance dropped from excellent to failing, and then down to zero. By the second year of middle school, we helped her withdraw after the school persuaded us to do so. At that time, looking at the poor child crying all the way home, my heart was like a knife. I felt her life was over, and cried with the child.
What should we do? I am not well myself. I have serious insomnia, and depression, and always want to die. The only thing I can’t let go of is my child. I don’t know where this life will end. I think it is really too hard to live! We have spent a lot of money treating her. In addition to visiting the hospital, we also looked for several psychics to help her many times. Every time, full of hope, yet again disappointed, her disease did not show any signs of improvement. I almost despair.
The pain of sentient beings is the pain of Bodhisattvas. Perhaps it is my accumulated blessings from previous lives, or perhaps I still have some affinity with Buddhism. In 2018, the opportunity to study Buddhism finally arose. Once, I attended an accountant’s training course, and in the elevator of the building, I met a Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door practitioner pushing a bicycle. I helped her pull the bike head, and she thanked me and added me to her WeChat friend list. This is fate! During class, she sent me some links to Buddhism. I was very excited to read them, and it was like I saw a ray of hope in the dark. This was the Dharma Door I was looking for! Immediately after class, I made an appointment to meet her. When I saw her, I didn’t say a word before crying, as if I had seen a long-lost relative. I cried out all the aggression, pain and suppression I had felt for a long time. She offered me books and Dharma treasures to recite Buddhist scriptures. She patiently taught me how to do daily recitation and showed me how to recite the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance. I am grateful to her for helping me selflessly and giving me confidence in studying Buddhism and reciting the sutras and mantras.
After that, I started reciting Buddhist scriptures according to her instructions. At first, I recited very few sutras and mantras, only a few times a day. However, I was very devout and my heart was clear when I read them. This is because I knew I found a way to save my daughter.
Soon after I recited Buddhist scriptures, I made vows to Guan Yin Bodhisattva: to be a vegetarian for a lifetime, to live an ascetic life for a lifetime, and to release beings…… and any vows that as long as I could do. I decided to use Buddhism to save myself and my child. After daily recitations for a week, I started reciting the Little Houses. I made a vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva that within one year, I would repay 200 Little Houses to my child’s karmic creditors.
After I learned Buddhism, I performed life liberation every now and then and never stopped. In total, I helped my child release several tens of thousands of fish. She herself conducted daily recitation and chanted the holy name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. She studied Buddhism in Plain Terms. She was very sensible. She herself made a vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva that she would become a vegetarian. She would respect the teacher and his teachings, devote herself to one Buddhist practice, and never quit. Later, she herself recited Little Houses, only a few.
Before I learned Buddhism, in addition to the epileptic symptoms mentioned above, she also had bad habits of self-harm, talking to herself, sudden tantrums, and always being a glutton for food. After studying Buddhism, we knew that the root cause of her illness was the presence of karmic creditors who wanted to collect debts from her body. Master Lu has enlightened us to seek medical advice for physical illnesses and to seek Dharma advice for illnesses that cannot be cured by doctors. Epilepsy is a 100 percent spiritual disease that cannot be cured by doctors. Therefore, we used a two-pronged approach. While continuing the medical treatment, we eliminated her karma and paid off her karmic debts. We performed the three golden Buddhist practices of making vows, performing recitations of Buddhist scriptures and life liberation.
The child dreamed that her creditor was a classmate from her previous life’s Military Officer Academy school who died by suicide. After I paid 21 Little Houses to her creditor, she dreamed that her classmate took off his hat and bowed to her in thanks. He said that the Little Houses healed his left-hand injury. After a while, I noticed a slight improvement in all aspects of my child’s life: gradually she stopped hurting herself, talked less to herself, and stopped being a glutton for food. Every time I saw her progress, I was moved to tears. I am really grateful to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Gratitude to Master Lu!
At the beginning, I followed Master Lu’s teachings and performed three golden Buddhist practices to help my daughter. Now, I still follow Master Lu’s teachings and perform the five golden Buddhist practices of “making vows, performing recitations of Buddhist scriptures, performing life liberation, repenting of wrongdoings and refraining from doing them, and studying Buddhism in Plain Terms” to assist her eliminate her karma and repay her debts. In the past 5 years, I have helped her creditors a total of about 900 Little Houses and released several tens of thousands of fish. Her creditors even came to her dream and informed her of their connections in previous lives. This also reinforces our belief that people really have past lives and present lives. Therefore, we must know the cause and understand the effect, and we must respect the cause and effect. We should transcend all illusions and never create new karma. We must practice and cultivate our minds and behavior well to free ourselves from the afflictions of reincarnation.
As our practice deepens, we find that there is a certain pattern to her attacks – every first or fifteenth day every month of the Lunar New Year, or around big festivals such as Ching Ming Festival or Hungry Ghost Festival, she is more likely to have an attack. Her attack was preceded by a tantrum when we rushed to repay her creditors with Little Houses. Gradually, her attacks decreased from once every two or three days in the past to once a week, once every half a month, and then once every two or three months. As her health improved, her medicine dosage gradually reduced. By the time we reached the third year of Dharma practice, she had only one attack in 6 months. Now, she is basically recovered.
She interrupted her studies because of her illness. Thanks to the compassionate arrangement of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, a teacher whom I had not contacted for a long time suddenly called twice and enthusiastically arranged a school for her to attend. When I offered incense to Bodhisattva after each call from this teacher, the incense made a big roll. Once again, I couldn’t help but shed tears of gratitude for Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s compassionate arrangement! Everything was perfectly arranged!
I am grateful from my inner heart to the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva! I am grateful to our benefactor, compassionate Father Jun Hong Lu! I am grateful to my fellow practitioners who transformed me into a Buddhist and helped me! I am grateful to Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door!
After the aborted child and my karmic creditors ascended, I was cured of all my illnesses. Before I learned Buddhism, I suffered from depression, I felt tired of living, I wanted to die but didn’t dare to (I didn’t have the courage to die, and I couldn’t let go), and I could only live like a walking corpse. After studying Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures, my mindset changed dramatically – I felt I had something to hold on to, a sense of security, and hope!
I am sharing my personal experience of Buddhism to tell you that Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door is prestigious and effective, and it is true! As long as we firmly believe, follow the methods taught by Master Lu, perform the five golden Buddhist practices, and truly practice, we will definitely be able to change our destiny and start a better life!
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 Wang, Gratitude and Namaste!

运用五大法宝，观世音菩萨保佑患有癫痫病的女儿神奇康复
大家好！我是王同修。我怀着无比感恩的心情来和大家分享。题目是：运用五大法宝，观世音菩萨保佑患有癫痫病的女儿神奇康复
我从小就信佛，喜欢听人讲有关佛教的内容，外婆家也供奉观世音菩萨，所以我应该还是很有佛缘的。我走进XLFM学佛念经是因为女儿患有严重的癫痫病。
我的女儿是一个聪明、善良、健康的孩子，学习成绩也很好。2016年，在女儿上小学三年级时（约9岁），开始出现癫痫病的症状。起初，她的症状轻，发作之后立刻就好了，所以到当地医院去检查，都被当成病毒性感冒来治疗了。后来，到上海的权威医院检查，她才被确诊为癫痫。之后的半年里，女儿每个月都要去医院做检查，回家后也是按时按量地吃药。但是，孩子发病却越来越频繁、病情越来越严重。每次发病，孩子都非常可怜——脸色发黑，不停地咳嗽、吐白沫，身体扭曲、僵硬、不省人事。这种让人看了非常揪心的状态要持续好几分钟，要过很久才能够恢复意识。每次发作后，孩子整个人非常地虚弱、头晕、头痛，需要睡半天后才能缓过来。孩子这种生不如死的痛苦，让我们整日担惊受怕。
孩子发病前，我们家里一直吃活海鲜，经常吃，大量吃。
面对生病的女儿，我们很疑惑、更多的是无奈。为什么我们小心翼翼地照顾孩子，并遵照医嘱吃药，女儿的病情却没有任何好转？医生除了增加药量，也是无能为力。随着时间的推移，孩子每隔几天就会癫痫发作。每次接到老师的电话，我都是心惊肉跳的。癫痫病严重影响了孩子的学习，她的学习成绩从优秀下降到不及格，再一直落到零分。到了初中二年级，我们在学校的劝说下，帮女儿办理了退学手续。当时，看着可怜的孩子一路哭着往家走，我心如刀绞，感觉孩子的前途全都没有了，也陪着孩子一起哭。
我们怎么办？我自己也身体不好了，严重失眠，还患有抑郁症，总是想死。我唯一放不下的是孩子。我不知道这种生活到哪里才是个头？觉得人活着真的是太苦了！为了给女儿治病，我们花了很多钱。除了去医院看病，还多次找通灵人帮孩子看。一次次的满怀希望，换来的是一次又一次的失望，孩子的病没有任何好转的迹象，我几乎绝望了……
众生之痛，乃菩萨之痛。也许是我累世福报的积累，也许是我还有一些佛缘，2018年，我学佛的机缘终于成熟了。有一次，我参加会计师培训学习，在大楼电梯里，遇见一位推着一辆自行车的XLFM的师兄。我帮她拉了一下下车头，她谢了我，并加了我的微信。这真的就是缘分啊！上课时，这位师兄给我发了几个学佛的链接。我看了之后非常激动，冥冥中我好像看到了希望的曙光。这就是我要找的法门啊！下了课，我就马上主动约见这位师兄。见到她后，我没说两句话，就开始痛哭流涕，好像见到了久别亲人。我把长久以来的委屈、痛苦和压抑，全部都哭出来了。师兄结缘给我经书、菩萨挂坠和念经所需要的一些法宝，并且耐心地辅导我念功课，教我念《礼佛大忏悔文》。感恩师兄无私地帮助我，让我对学佛念经充满信心！
之后，我就按照师兄教我的方法，开始念功课了。刚开始我念的经文很少，虽然只念几遍，但我很虔诚，念的时候心里很清静，因为我知道自己找到了救命的方法。
学佛念经不久，我就向观世音菩萨许愿：终身吃全素，终身清修、放生……只要是我能做到的，我都向观世音菩萨许愿了。我下定决心，要用佛法来拯救自己、拯救孩子。念了一周功课后，我就开始念经文组合了。并且向观世音菩萨许愿：在一年之内，帮孩子的要经者烧送200张经文组合。
学佛后，我隔三差五就去放生，至今从未停止过，总共帮孩子放生了约几万条鱼。孩子自己也做一点功课，并且念观世音菩萨圣号，读诵《白话佛法》。孩子很懂事，她自己也向观世音菩萨许愿：吃全素、尊师重道、一门精进、永不退转。后来她自己也开始念经文组合，只是念得比较少。
在我学佛前，除了上面提到的癫痫症状，孩子还有自残，自言自语，突然发脾气，和一直很贪吃的坏毛病。学佛念经之后，我们知道导致孩子发病的根源，就是孩子身上有要经者。师父开示过，身体病找医生看，医生看不好的病找师父看。癫痫是百分之百的灵性病，医生是看不好的。所以，我们双管齐下，一边继续着医院的治疗，一边通过运用许愿、念经、放生三大法宝来消业还债。
孩子梦到自己的要经者是她前世军官学校的同学，是自杀身亡的。有一次，我帮孩子的要经者烧送了21张经文组合，女儿就梦到要经者脱帽向自己鞠躬感谢，并且说烧送的经文组合治好了他左手上的伤。一段时间后，我发现孩子在各个方面都有了些许进步：渐渐地女儿不再自残了，自言自语也少了，也不贪吃了。每次看到她的进步，我都感动得流泪。真的非常感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨！感恩师父！
刚开始，我按照师父的教导，运用“许愿、放生、念经”三大法宝，帮孩子消业还债；到现在，我还是按照师父的教导，运用“许愿、放生、念经、大忏悔、学习《白话佛法》五大法宝，帮助女儿消业还债。在我学佛念经的5年里，我总共帮孩子的要经者烧送了约900张经文组合，放生了几万条鱼。女儿的要经者还来到梦里，告知他和女儿的缘分。这也让我们更加相信，人真的有前世今生。所以，我们一定要知因懂果，要敬畏因果。不能再颠倒梦想、再造新业了。我们一定要好好地修行修心，把自己从轮回的烦恼中解脱出来。
随着修行的深入，我们发现孩子的发病也有一定的规律——每逢初一、十五、或者清明节、中元节等大的节气前后，孩子就比较容易发病。孩子发作前会先发脾气，这时，我们就赶紧烧送经文组合。渐渐地，孩子的发病从过去的二三天发作一次，到后来一周发作一次、半个月发作一次，再到后来二三个月发作一次。随着女儿病情的逐渐好转，她的药量也在逐渐消减。在我们修行到第三年的时候，女儿半年才发作一次。现在，她的身体基本康复。
女儿因为生病中断了学业。感恩观世音菩萨慈悲安排，一位久未联系的老师，突然两次打来电话，热心地帮女儿安排好了就读的学校。而且这位老师每次打来电话后，我上香时，香就打了一个大大的卷儿。我再次忍不住落下了感恩的泪水，感恩观世音菩萨的慈悲安排！一切都是最好的安排！
我从心里感恩伟大的观世音菩萨！感恩我们的恩师慈父！感恩度我的师兄和一直帮助我的师兄们！感恩XLFM！
超度走了堕胎的孩子和自己的要经者，我自己身体上的疾病也全都不药而愈了。我学佛前患有抑郁症，那时候总觉得活着很累，想死又不敢死（没胆量死，也放不下)，只能如行尸走肉般活着。学佛念经后，我的心态发生了巨大的变化——感觉自己心里有了寄托，有安全感了，也有希望了！
我把自己学佛念经的亲身经历分享给大家，就是想告诉大家：XLFM殊胜灵验，真实不虚！只要我们坚定信念，按照师父教导的方法，运用五大法宝，真修实修，就一定能改变我们的命运，开启我们美好的生活！
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！
分享过程中如有不如理不如法之处，请南无释迦牟尼佛慈悲原谅！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！我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背！
