Gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!
Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
Gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time!
Gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
Gratitude to the selfless, altruistic, and benevolent Master Jun Hong Lu!
I started practicing Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures when I encountered Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door in 2014. I became a disciple of Master Lu in 2015.
Once, on my husband’s birthday, I bought a large blackfish weighing 6 or 7 pounds and released it into the water. I prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless it to be free from suffering and not captured. It seemed that this fish understood my prayers. It swam towards me, stood up opened its big mouth 3 times as if to say thanks, and then swam away. My husband and my mother were stunned. They personally witnessed that everything has a soul, and fish knows how to be thankful. Dharma‘s joy was truly felt! From then on, my mother also believed in the infinite power of Buddha and Bodhisattva. She began to recite the holy name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva every day.
In 2017, my mother turned 77 years old. Master Lu had enlightened us that there would be a predestined calamity at the age of 77. As expected, at the beginning of 2017, she felt uncomfortable and always coughed. My sister then took her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that she was suffering from lung cancer and had only half a year to live. A nearly 80-year-old person could not withstand surgery and chemotherapy, so it would be better to stay home and eat whatever she wanted! We adopted the doctor’s advice.
The hospital couldn’t save my mother, so I decided to use the three Golden Buddhist Practices of making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and performing life liberation that Master Lu had taught us to save my mother! I immediately made 3 vows to Guan Yin Bodhisattva (please note: all vows were fulfilled on time):
1. Release 10,000 carp for my mother;
2. Repay 108 Little Houses to my mother’s karmic creditors;
3. Transfer 50% of my vegetarian merits and virtues to my mother.
After the first set of 10,000 fish was released, I made a vow to release another 10,000 carp. Subsequently, I released 500 fish as a set, one set by one set. I also helped my mother release turtles according to conditions.
After the first set of 108 Little Houses was repaid, I vowed to repay a few more sets of 108 sheets and then a few more sets of 49 sheets. Subsequently, I kept repaying her karmic creditors 21 sheets as a set, one by one.
I am grateful for the compassionate blessings of the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva! In the years following her diagnosis, my mother walked and played without suffering. When she felt tired, she sat down to rest.
One day in September 2021, we massaged her while chatting. In this way, my mother passed away quietly. Her face flushed. Even the funeral parlor people said, “Why does this senior lady look so good?” This is all the result of Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s compassionate blessing!
I hope that through my sharing, more sentient beings will be able to encounter the Dharma, gain heavenly wisdom, break free from delusion and attain enlightenment, believe in Buddhism, believe in karma, remove evil and cultivate goodness, and have faith in Buddhism and recite the Buddhist scriptures.
Once again, Gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha! Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time! Gratitude to the selfless, altruistic, and benevolent Master Jun Hong Lu!
If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I pray for forgiveness from Namo Sakyamuni Buddha, 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 would appreciate my fellow Buddhist practitioners’ critique and correction!
I, not my fellow Buddhist practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma.

学佛念经，改变自己，度化先生，救助母亲
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！
我是2014走进XLFM开始学佛念经的，2015年拜师。
刚刚学佛念经时，先生并不支持我，更不相信人间有菩萨在。佛法是超越人间一切科学的智慧，可以让我们解脱心灵的枷锁，挣脱欲望的束缚。我既然改变不了先生，就改变自己。修心修行，先改变自己的习性和行为。
学佛前，我做错了很多事情——遇事脾气暴躁，见事不公爱打抱不平。说不明白时，就开始骂人，造了很多口业。学习佛法后，我开始学习包容他人，懂得了包容别人就是放过自己；一个人不能原谅别人，会给自己造成极大的伤害。
我家先生是开大货车的。每次先生出车前，我都会嘱咐先生：“遇到不顺利，有困难和阻碍的时候，你就双手合十，迎着太阳的方向，祈求观世音菩萨的慈悲保佑。”但他并不是很相信。大约在2017年的冬天，有一次他开车在高速公路上行驶时，车突然熄火了，怎么也发动不起来。在高速公路上停留是有时间限制的，如果车熄火时间长了，拖车就会来给拖走，而且自己要付约2000元的服务费。先生在情急之下，想起了我嘱咐他的话。于是，他双手合十，先报出自己的名字，然后使劲地大声喊：观世音菩萨救救我！他还说出了自己当时的方位，求观世音菩萨保佑车子能够发动起来。第一次祈求后，车还是没打着火；他又下车，第二次祈求观世音菩萨，之后上车打火。观世音菩萨果然显灵了，他的车打着火、发动起来了！这是先生第一次得到观世音菩萨的慈悲救度，他喜出望外！从那天以后，先生就相信人间真的有菩萨在！不久，他就开始学佛念经了。
有一次，在先生的生日那天，我买了一条五六斤重的大黑鱼放生。把鱼放进水里后，我就祈求菩萨保佑这条黑鱼能够离苦得乐，不被钓走、不被抓去。当时，这条黑鱼好像听懂了我的祈求，它游到了我面前，立起身子，张开了三次大嘴巴，好像在说感恩似的，随后就游走了。先生和我母亲当时都惊呆了。他们亲自见证了万物皆有灵，鱼也知道感恩啊，真是太法喜了！于是，先生更加相信观世音菩萨了，也更加努力地学佛念经了。母亲也从此相信佛菩萨法力无边，她也开始天天念观世音菩萨圣号了。
2017年，母亲77岁了。师父开示过，77岁会有一个劫【注1】。果不其然，2017年年初，母亲感觉有点不舒服，总是咳嗽。妹妹就带她去医院检查。医生检查后说，母亲患的是肺癌，只有半年左右的寿命。80多岁的老人经不起手术和化疗，还是回家好好养着吧，想吃点啥就吃点啥吧！我们尊重了医生的建议。
医院救不了母亲，我决定用师父教给我们的许愿、念经、放生三大法宝来救度母亲！我当即向观世音菩萨许愿（愿力都已完成）：
1、帮母亲放生一万条鲫鱼；
2、帮母亲的要经者烧送108张经文组合；
3、把我吃素50%的功德转给母亲。
第一拨一万条鱼放生完成后，我又许愿放生了一万条鲫鱼。随后又500条一拨一拨地放生，我还帮母亲随缘放生了甲鱼。
第一拨108张经文组合烧送完后，我又许愿了几拨108张和几拨49张经文组合。烧送完后，就21张一拨一拨地坚持烧送。
感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨的慈悲保佑！母亲在生病后的几年里，该走就走，该玩就玩，没受一点儿罪，到最后她也只是感觉累了，身上没有劲了，才坐下来休息。2021年9月的一天，我们一边帮她按摩，一边和她聊天。就这样，母亲平静安详地离开了人世。她走的时候，脸色红扑扑的，连殡仪馆的人都说：“这老人脸色怎么这么好！”这都是观世音菩萨慈悲加持和保佑的结果啊！
今年因为疫情，我很久没回娘家看望父亲了。2022年8月末，我回去看望父亲，在娘家住了三天。当我回家后，看到门敞开了一尺多宽。当时我离开家时，特意回头检查了一下，门是锁着的。现在这门却开了，难道是有人进来了吗？但是我转念一想：我们学佛人的家里有观世音菩萨和龙天护法菩萨的保佑、护持，一定不会有问题的。送我的司机让我赶紧报警，不要破坏现场，我说绝对不会有问题的。我进屋检查了一下，屋内没有任何脚印，柜子里的钱也分文不少。感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨和龙天护法菩萨的慈悲护佑！
我们的师父用尽毕生的心力救度众生。师父舍命救我们，是希望我们能够学习大乘佛法，救度一切有缘众生。我们爱师父，就要尊师重道，听师父的话，按照师父的开示修心修行。我们要精进努力地消业还债，不造新业，将来才有可能出离六道轮回，回到天上观世音菩萨的身边，回到师父的身边！
2020年，我就已经向观世音菩萨许愿：终生清修，终身吃全素；坚持放生，不杀生，尊师重道，一门精进，永不退转，一世修成报佛恩。我要尽自己所能救度众生，能救一个是一个，能度一个是一个，度尽一切有缘众生！
希望通过我的分享，能让更多的有缘众生闻到佛法，开启智慧，破迷开悟，相信佛法，深信因果，断恶修善，信佛念经。
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！
