Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
Gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
Gratitude to all my fellow Dharma practitioners and Buddhist friends!
First of all, I repent of not being a responsible daughter, mother and wife!
I am from Jiangsu Province, China. I divorced at the end of 2011. Although custody of my son was awarded to my ex-husband, I couldn’t let go of my child in my heart, and I always wanted to do my best to be a mother and do my motherly duty.
My son was born in 2000. He was admitted to the hospital at 3 months old with a cold. The doctor looked at his face and palm and determined that he suffered from Down syndrome. When I learned this, my whole family was very helpless! We didn’t know what his future path would be. We didn’t know what to do to save him. At that time, we didn’t know what recovery was, nor had we heard about it. However, we just educated him based on what we had learned. Meanwhile, I hoped for a divine gift (to save him) in my hearts! I always believed that there would be kind people to help me!
I started practicing Buddhism in June 2012 after I made an online Buddhist friend.
In June 2012, a netizen added me as his friend. When I saw his screen name I knew he was a Buddhist. I told him about my son’s situation, hoping for guidance. He recommended me to watch videos of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. From the videos, I learned that to save my son it was useless to burn incense and worship Buddha only. I must recite Buddhist scriptures, pay off my debts, and do good deeds to help my son.
Later on, I joined the Buddha Study Group. The Buddhist practitioners kindly offered me Buddhist scripture book, blank Little Houses, red pens and a plate, which gave me more confidence to study Buddhism. In the beginning, I just focused on doing my daily recitation, and reciting Little Houses, not listening to the recordings, not reading the blogs of Master Lu, not knowing that the Little Houses had to be recited one batch by one batch, not knowing exactly how many Little Houses to recite, and not knowing how many Little Houses I could recite in a day. Anyway, I finished one recitation and burned it immediately. I strongly believe that as long as I practiced hard and followed Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, my son would be fine.
When I started chanting, I dreamed that my aborted child, deceased friends and relatives asked me for Little Houses. Even more amazingly, after I married my current husband in 2013, his father and grandmother, whom I had never met, also came to ask for Little Houses in my dreams. Some dreams also told me what would happen.
Firstly, let me show you my changes after practicing Buddhism:
(1). My temper becomes better. My first marriage break is associated with my bad temper.
(2). I have suffered from chronic bronchitis for many years. When the day was cold, I coughed for several months. I would slowly recover from the illness until the day was warm. No matter what medicine is used or how hanging bottle infusions are administered, both are useless. After practicing Buddhism, chronic bronchitis never appeared.
(3). Previously, I spent hundreds of CNY on cosmetics, now I just spent 10 CNY on snow cream. However, my complexion is very healthy. I used to feel tired even without work. Although I became a vegetarian since practicing Buddhism, my mental state is very good. Now I insist on getting up at 5:30 am every day regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and resting at 9-10 pm. My physical and mental states are positive.
(4). Frequent night urination disappeared.
(5). In this recessionary market, my business is booming. I used to look for customers, but now they look for me.
I set up a Buddhist altar at home. Gradually, I listened to more Buddhism recordings. Under the guidance of fellow practitioners, I learned how to make vows, recite Buddhist scriptures, and perform life liberation.
Secondly, let me talk about my son after I practiced Buddhism.
(1). He has become much more sensible now. I took him to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva. When he saw me kneeling on the floor, he gave me the mat and knelt on the floor. We went to the orphanage to see the orphans. He didn’t eat any of the fruits I bought and left them for those children.
(2). Recently, he has grown up very fast.
(3). He is cheerful, often smiles, speaks a lot, and often makes me laugh. His grandmother often says that he knows much more than before.
(4). He knows how to cook, steam eggs, wrap ravioli, and take the bus home by himself. He frequently communicates with us by letter. The teachers and students at school like him and help him a lot.
I firmly believed in my heart that the change in my child was the mercy of the Bodhisattva. I was so grateful to the Bodhisattva, to my fellow practitioners for bringing me to the Dharma Door, and to their help.
Once my son asked me, “Mom, have you ever regretted having me?” I was overwhelmed with emotion, and tears flowed down my face. Seeing me in tears, he said to me, “You can’t cry, being in an unhappy mood will affect your health.” My child mother thanked the Bodhisattva for giving you to me. Otherwise, I would not encounter and understand Buddhism, I don’t know what the real life is, and how to be a real person and live a meaningful life.
As a result of my child’s progress, I have gained more confidence in my ability to transform sentient beings. My first priority is to let parents with mental disordered children be free from suffering, since I know their feelings best. It is the hope of every parent that their children will get better sooner. After I joined the Down syndrome baby group, I was heartbroken. There are so many poor children. I can’t even look at some of them and dare not look at them. My child is 14 years old. How come there are still so numerous parents with Down syndrome babies? How come there are so many weird diseases? We should think deeply about these!
Firstly, I picked a few groups of parents to transform. Some of the parents understood and accepted Buddhism right away. Many of them started learning Buddhism by watching the videos, listening to the recordings and reading the blogs. When I heard a parent started to practice Buddhism, I was happier than I was when I made money in business because their child was saved.
For parents who are still lingering outside the door of Buddhism, I urge that, for the sake of our children and ourselves, please take some time every day to learn about Buddhism and receive education on how to achieve happiness via Buddhism. Buddhism is an education, not a superstition. Buddhism teaches us how to achieve permanent happiness and joy, and what causes suffering. Buddhism does not make you superstitious, but gives us the absolute right knowledge to break superstition.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and all Dharma Protectors! Gratitude to my fellow practitioners! Gratitude to my family! In the future, I will be one of the hands and eyes of Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Be a faithful Buddha disciple! To be worthy of the Bodhisattva! Be worthy of myself!

心灵法门救了唐氏综合症的宝宝
感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨！感恩诸位龙天护法！感恩各位师兄和佛友！
能有这个机会在这里分享我学佛以来的经历，首先我忏悔我没有做好一个好女儿，好母亲，好妻子！
我是来自江苏的同修，在2011年年尾离的婚，2012年6月份从网上结缘佛友认识心灵法门开始念经学佛，虽然离婚时儿子归前夫，但在我心里一直放不下孩子，一直想尽做母亲的能力做好应尽的母爱。孩子2000年出生，在3个月时感冒去医院，医生看孩子的面相和手掌判断孩子是唐氏。当时听到这个消息，家人都非常的无助！孩子以后的路不知道是怎样的？不知道怎样能救好孩子？那时不知道什么是康复，也没有听到过，只是凭自己的所学教育孩子，同时心里一直盼望神灵的恩赐！因为一直相信会有善良的人会帮我！
2012年6月份有位网友加我好友，一看他的网名是学佛的，我就很信任的把儿子的情况跟他说，希望得到他的指点。结果他推荐心灵法门的视频给我看，当我看到视频真正的知道要救儿子光烧香拜佛是没有用的，是自己要念经消业还债，行善积德解决的。后来进了学佛群，师兄非常热心的送我经书，小房子包括红笔和盘子都一一帮我准备好，这让我更有信心的学习佛法。刚刚开始我只顾抓紧时间做功课，赶小房子，不听录音、不看博客，也不知道小房子要一拨拨念，也不知道究竟要念多少，不知道自己一天能念多少，反正念好就烧，坚信只要自己努力，跟着心灵法门学，儿子一定会好。
当我刚刚开始念经，就梦见自己的堕胎的孩子、故去的亲朋好友一一来要经，更神奇的是2013年跟先生结婚后，没有见过面的先生的父亲和奶奶、外婆也来梦中要经。梦中也时常把将要发生的事情梦中提前预示给我。
先说说我念经来的改变：
1、我脾气好了很多，当时婚姻破裂跟我脾气也有关系。
2、我几年的慢性支气管炎念经后就没有发过，往年天一冷就要咳嗽，一咳就咳几个月，要等天暖和才慢慢变好，随便吃药挂水都没有用。
3、虽然我从一开始学佛许愿吃素，但我的脸色非常好，以前还花几百元化妆品涂涂，现在用10元的雪花膏打打就行。还有精神状态也非常佳，以往不做什么活，就感觉疲倦，现在不管春夏秋冬每天坚持5点30起床，晚上差不多9-10点休息。
4、晚上尿频也没有了。
5、在这经济市场萧条的情况下，自己的事业蒸蒸日上。以前是我找客户，现在是客户找我。
再说说孩子，2013年婚后家里设了佛台，做功课和念小房子比较方便，自己也慢慢的多听录音，经过师兄指点，懂得怎样许愿，念经，放生。孩子现在真的是懂事得多，带他去庙里拜菩萨，看到我跪地上，他就把垫子让给我，自己跪地上；去孤儿院看孩子，买的水果，自己没有吃一个，留给那些孩子吃。个子最近也长得很快，心情开朗，经常笑嘻嘻的，语言也很多，还时常哄我笑，孩子奶奶经常说：孩子比以前懂得多得多。自己懂得做饭，蒸蛋，包馄饨，自己坐公交回家，经常书信跟我们沟通。学校老师和同学都很喜欢他也很帮助他。我心中默默知道孩子的改变这是菩萨的慈悲。心中无比感恩菩萨，感恩师兄带我进佛门，感恩师兄们的帮助。有次孩子对我说：“妈妈，你生我有没有后悔过？”我听后无比的激动，眼泪情不自禁哗啦啦的流下来。看到我流泪，孩子对我说：“不能哭，心情不好会影响身体。”孩子，妈妈感谢菩萨把你赐给我，不然妈妈也不懂佛法。不懂什么才是真正人生，怎样做实实在在的人，过有意义的生活。
从孩子的进步我更有底气去度人，最初，我最想让那些有残疾孩子的父母先离苦得乐，因为我最了解他们的心情。最希望自己的孩子早点好起来，望子成龙，望女成凤是每个家长的希望，虽然我们的孩子有残缺，打破了我们的规划，但我们父母应该尽我们的能力帮助孩子越来越好。在我进唐氏宝宝群，看得真的心很痛，有这么多可怜的孩子，还有的真的是看都看不下去也不敢看。我孩子都14周岁了，怎么还有这么多父母生唐氏宝宝？怎么有这么多奇奇怪怪的病？这些我们应该深思！
先是挑选几个群试着度那些父母。有的父母一讲就通，也有很多自己先看视频听录音看博客就开始学佛了，听到哪个父母开始学佛，心里比我做到生意赚钱都开心，因为我们的孩子有救了。家庭和睦。像单身妈妈和离异的父母在群里看到的很多很多，我已经没有给孩子一个完美的家，但我不希望有更多孩子的这样。虽然现在先生很好很支持我学佛念经，做功德没有一句怨言过，但在孩子面前我永远不是一个完美母亲，如果前几年学佛，也不会离婚。说实话我们的孩子需要社会的温暖，那温暖应该先从我们自己做起。学菩萨行善心结善缘。远离痛苦因，永远快乐！
还徘徊在佛门外的父母们，我呼吁——为了我们的孩子，我们自己，请你：每天抽一点点时间来了解佛法，接受如何获得幸福的教育。佛教是教育，不是迷信，佛法让我们懂得如何才能获得永久的幸福与快乐，什么是痛苦的根源；佛法不是让你迷信，而是让我们绝对的破除迷信的正知正见。我们要觉正净，觉而不迷，不对一切事情着迷，对任何事情能有一个觉净。我们每天抱怨这个社会，抱怨骗子太多了，要知道不是别人骗了我们，而是我们自己被自己骗了。社会好，政府好，为什么我们觉得现在社会风气不好，那是因为我们社会的人心开始变了，是人的思想道德意识变了。所以我们要改变社会首先从我们自己改，天下兴亡我的责任。我们的心灵法门导师——卢军宏台长多年来无私忘我弘法，发宏誓愿，行菩萨行，他日以继夜的用自己的肉身慧命，白天的工作排的满满当当，晚上只睡3-4个小时，救度了那么多有缘众生使大家家庭好了，工作好了，身体好了，学习好了，我们还有什么理由不好好学？千万不要等到恶疾缠身才想起菩萨，不要等到万事休矣才知道忏悔。
最后还是感恩观世音菩萨！所有诸位佛菩萨龙天护法！感恩师兄！感恩家人！末学在未来的日子里做好观世音菩萨的千手千眼！做好一名佛弟子！对得起菩萨！对得起自己！
