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 or do chemotherapy. Practitioner Dai saved her husband by practising the 3 Golden Buddhist Practices of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. 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 practising the 3 golden Buddhist practices of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door of reciting Buddhist 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 guests. 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 the 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 black fish and release 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!”
One day, my mother said to my younger brother, “If you plan a trip, avoid 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 the 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 pay 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 beloved 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!

三大法宝妙无言，晚期胃癌变胃炎
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！
2023年，母亲86岁，进入369关。2023年春节前，老母亲业障爆发：上吐下泻，胃痛难忍，吃什么吐什么；每天不挂盐水，就根本止不住。大年初八那天，母亲在一家普通医院的急诊室里输液时，突然之间疼痛难忍，又吐了。医生说，叫救护车送大医院吧！母亲在大医院做了一系列的检查，最后被确诊为：胃癌晚期。于是，医生给母亲安排了床位，准备过几天动手术。医生说，看病情，您母亲这个胃癌至少已经存在十年了。
我想：母亲毕竟年事已高，身体虚弱。既然是胃癌晚期了，就不要让她再承受手术和放疗、化疗的痛苦了。师父开示过：癌症一般都是灵性病，要许大愿。这时，我想到了身边的戴师兄。当初医生说她先生是胸腺瘤晚期，肿瘤巨大，已经压迫心脏，可能会马上走人。医院已经没有办法开刀、做化疗了。戴师兄通过运用心灵法门的三大法宝，救了她的先生。现在她先生也是师父的弟子，胸腺癌症痊愈已经6-7年了。所以，我相信通过运用念经、许愿、放生这三大法宝，在菩萨的保佑下，一定会让母亲好转的。
春节期间，我们弘法团队的弘法工作非常忙。外地的师兄邀请我们作为嘉宾去弘法。在母亲住院的那几天，我非常犹豫是否去外地弘法，因为我一心牵挂着母亲。但是，我们弘法的日子是早就定下来的。外地师兄为了我们能去弘法，做了精心的筹备工作。有好几次，我们每到一个地方，都有师兄梦到要在当地开法会了。我怎么能打退堂鼓呢？我怎么能让菩萨和师父失望呢？最终，我还是选择了外出弘法度众！
到了外地后，弟弟告诉我，母亲马上要开刀了。我想为母亲放生，但是过年期间，很多鱼老板都回家过年了，没有鱼可以放。我忍不住伤心、掉眼泪！不过，一位师兄在朋友圈看到有个鱼老板还在卖鱼。感恩菩萨慈悲保佑！我请师兄们帮我从鱼老板那里买1200条鲫鱼、49只甲鱼和49条黑鱼为母亲放生，在两天内放完【备注2】。同时，师兄们在放生现场还为母亲助念了《大悲咒》。大家共同祈福、祝愿我的母亲早日康复。我也转了每天法布施30%的功德和三天在外地弘法50%的功德给母亲。我许愿两年内帮母亲的要经者念诵1000张经文组合。第二天，师兄们出钱主动为母亲助缘放生了1200条鲫鱼，又为母亲助念了《大悲咒》。师兄们无缘大慈、同体大悲的菩萨行为，让我非常感动！真的非常感恩！
感恩菩萨慈悲保佑！奇迹真的出现了！第三天，母亲就恢复得像正常人一样，在病床上念经。医生和同病房里的人都说：老太太真的太不可思议了，怎么昨天和今天判若两人呢？
我们就决定不让母亲做手术、放化疗了，让母亲出院回家。医生吓唬弟弟说：“你母亲的病这么严重，出院后也会马上又送进来的。”弟弟害怕了，犹豫不决。我说：“别怕，就算咱妈动了手术，浑身插满管子，她的生活质量肯定也是不行的，还不如让她善始善终。” 然后，我很冷静地对弟弟说：“让母亲出院吧！生活上由你来照顾，帮助母亲解除病痛的事就交给我，放心吧！”弟弟非常相信我会再一次创造奇迹，答应把母亲从医院接回家照顾。
我回家后，每天为母亲烧送经文组合，而且又为母亲大放生了2次，并陆续放生了一些刀下鱼，转了一些法布施的功德给母亲。医生曾经告诫母亲出院后不能吃饭，只能喝粥。但是，母亲不但可以正常吃饭了，也不呕吐了！弟弟觉得母亲比在医院时还精神！
不过，弟弟还是不放心，以为母亲是回光返照。于是，弟弟带母亲去了另外一个大医院又做了一次检查，并把所有的检查报告和片子都交给专家看。仅仅二个多月的时间，一个很大的胃瘤变得越来越小。最后一张片子几乎看不到肿瘤的踪迹了。最后，专家确认为胃炎。专家说：“这样的病人，从来没有见过，真是不可思议！”
母亲对弟弟说：如果你们出去旅游，要避开双休日，因为你姐姐双休日要去弘法、做功德，没法来照顾我。只有让她多做功德，才能救我。现在，只要我说去弘法度众，全家都支持！
我真心感恩菩萨治好了母亲的病，让我更有动力去帮助更多的有缘众生。我要像师父一样，把弘法利生当做自己的使命！
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（斗战胜佛开示：“西方极乐世界东面靠左一点是心灵净土，是将来修成正果的众弟子往生居住的世界，观音村道场也在心灵净土。”）。师父开示说，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！

How serious is cancer in the USA?
The American Cancer Society estimated 1.9 million diagnosed cancer cases and 608,570 cancer deaths in 2021 in the US (J Okla State Med Assoc. 2023 Mar-Apr;116(2):62-71.)
From a Dharma perspective, how is cancer classified?
It is a spiritual disease. The patient is occupied by one or more spirits.
From a Dharma perspective, how to treat cancer?
Ascend the spirits. Even if the doctors removed the tumor from the patient, you must still ascend the spirits to prevent the cancer from coming back.
What is 369 predestined calamity?
Master Lu has enlightened us that there is a law that governs some predestined calamities. Generally speaking, a predestined calamity occurs when one’s unit age is 3, 6, or 9, for example, age 3, 6, 9, 13, 16, 19, 23 etc. There will be a huge calamity when both the unit and the tens digits equal 3, 6, or 9, as in 33, 36, 39, 63, 66, or 69. In the most severe situation, it can lead to death. At the age of predestined calamity, karma can manifest early or delayed, depending on many other factors. For example, you have been doing good or evil deeds recently. Since age 369 predestined calamity is the most common trigger for karma outbursts, special care must be taken to prepare in advance, particularly 3 months before and after one’s birthday.
After outbursts of karma, spirits will occupy the patient’s body, causing acute illness, such as neuropathy, depression, autism, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, etc.
