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 Lu!
I am Huaping Zhu. I’ve practiced Buddhism for 3 years. I would like to pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to witness that I will share my experiences and insights derived from practicing Buddhism. I hope that my presentation will benefit more Buddhist practitioners who can learn a lesson from my experiences so that they can practice more diligently and save sentient beings.
If Guan Yin Bodhisattva hadn’t saved me, if I hadn’t met Master Lu, I don’t know where my life would have gone. However, for sure it would have been darkness. I now cry speechless tears every time I look at the portrait of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I Huaping Zhu don’t know in which life I have cultivated the good fortune to make a connection with you, and to be able to make a connection with Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. I’m grateful and grateful.
In the summer of 2015, the darkest year of my life, I was diagnosed with vitiligo. Initially, my friend inadvertently saw that my mouth corners were whitish and different from normal skin. My friend advised me to go to the hospital for a checkup. At first, I thought it was a cold food lump and didn’t take it seriously. Later, I looked in the mirror for a long time. I felt something was wrong, so I headed to Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to check. I was diagnosed with vitiligo, which is very difficult to treat. I was blinded. How could it be? No one in our family has had this disease. How could I get it? I searched the internet like crazy. The more I looked, the more anxious I felt. It is commonly known as immortal cancer. It spreads to the whole face or even the whole body. I was afraid of becoming like that. I was helpless and scared. I broke down.
I quit my job. I was afraid my face would scare my colleagues. I didn’t know what to do. I lived in panic every day. It feels like a leaking house facing a rainy night. One trouble follows another. My left arm is unknowingly sore. I can’t lift it up. It is even more painful behind my back. Especially at night, I could not sleep at all. Each nerve in my arm is like a needle prick, which makes me difficult to sleep. I was 39 years old. Why did misfortune suddenly strike me? What did I do wrong? I travelled to a hospital in Ningbo and had an MRI. The report showed that it was scapular effusion, and there was no good treatment other than exercise.
Just when I was lost, I encountered the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. I am grateful to Bodhisattva. I think now, I may be quite honest and still have a little kindness in my heart. Bodhisattva took pity on me and let me meet Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. When I walked to the park to exercise, I ran into Buddhist practitioners who were also exercising. They practiced Tai Chi. I thought it might be healthy and helpful for my body, so I followed them. The first thing they talked about every day was their daily recitations. I felt curious. Buddhist practitioner Hong was in the seventies. I was wondering what kind of recitation Hong was doing at such an old age. Hence, I asked them what their recitations were. This question led me to join Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. They said Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door could save me from my illness. How unfortunate and fortunate I was. I immediately expressed a strong interest in practicing it. When I got a book Hong offered me, and carefully opened it, I was deeply impressed by the pictures of Master Lu inside. It is because Master Lu created a different path for my future life.
I held Buddhist scriptures in both hands, looking at the corresponding effects of each scripture. It turned out that each Buddhist scripture was a medicine prescription. When I recited the Heart Sutra and the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance, I howled and cried. I realized how much bad karma I had created. I thought I was a good person, but now I realize that I was not even qualified to be a human being at that time. I killed, I aborted, I committed sexual misconduct, I was delusional, I had everything. That’s why I got vitiligo and a frozen shoulder. It’s all my self-made causes. I deeply repent here. I am sorry, please forgive me for my ignorance.
After a week of daily recitations, I proceeded to make a vow for a set of 49 Little Houses to repay my miscarried child. Later on, I repaid another set of Little Houses to my own karmic creditors. After about 100 Little Houses were repaid, my frozen shoulder was significantly better. What is even more amazing is that vitiligo is turning around as well.
In January 2016 I set up a Buddhist altar at my home. On that day, I made a vow to become a vegetarian, and never kill living beings.
As the saying says, if you study Buddhism for one year, the Buddha is in front of you. If you study Buddhism for three years, the Buddha is in the sky. In the first year, I was quite diligent every day in order to get better quickly, and I was a different person than I used to be.
Physically, I used to have pain here and there. Especially with my back and frozen shoulder, I had to go to acupuncture every week. Now I haven’t undergone massage and acupuncture, and my frozen shoulder has basically recovered, and my back hasn’t recurred.
In terms of mindset, I used to blame everybody but myself, have low self-confidence and constant afflictions. I would be sad for days about a trivial thing. Now that I have studied Buddhism, I realize that everything is cause and effect. It’s all my fault.
Behaviorally, I used to be fond of eating and averse to work. Now that I have learned the Buddhism. I take the initiative to do things, and I can help others.
However, with time, because I did not practice Buddhism diligently, my inherent flaws flared up and I lost my temper. This led to me that I could only recite 3 Little Houses a day. In the summer of 2017, vitiligo returned. Unlike the first time, this time the disease spread to the eyes, eyebrows, and neck. My heart, which had been clearer, turned confused again. I can’t find the direction. I also often get pedantic in my Buddhism study and often wonder if there is something wrong with the Dharma. Especially since I have been studying the Dharma for two years, why doesn’t the Bodhisattva bless me?
My situation continued to fluctuate until I attended the Indonesian Buddhist Conference. Fortunately, Bodhisattva helped me again, allowing me to attend the Buddhist Conference and become a disciple of Master Lu. At the ceremony, I couldn’t even make a sound when I was stuck in my throat by the spirit. I could only keep shedding tears. Master Lu was leading the reading of the Disciple’s Code in front of me, but I couldn’t read it properly, letting the tears spill out like crazy. My karmic obstacles are so deep. I didn’t make any effort to eliminate my karma, and now I let Master Lu carry my karma. I am sorry for the Bodhisattva and to Master Lu! Many people at the ceremony saw a remarkable sight, but I didn’t. I’m really not cultivating well!
During the Buddhist Conference, I received guidance from a Buddhist practitioner, Mr. Wang. He said I had not progressed in my cultivation. He pointed out my shortcomings and reminded me of precautions to take in my future cultivation. I am really grateful to him, who was really sent by the Bodhisattva to enlighten me. After I returned from the Buddhist Conference, I felt completely new and rekindled my motivation to study Buddhism. I adjusted my goals, mainly eliminating karma first, and made a vow to recite 500 Little Houses to my karmic creditors during the year. I made a vow to recite the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance according to the Ten Meritorious Deeds standard to repent of wrongdoings and refrain from doing them in this life.
Now, the vitiligo on my face is largely invisible. Around my eyes, I noticed melanin covering my once-white skin slightly. I know it was the Bodhisattva who saved me again. I am grateful to the Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and to Master Lu for silently blessing me. I make a vow that I will follow Master Lu to practice well, let go of the ‘lesser self’ and attain the ‘greater self’, and be a good helper of Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu, promote Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and save sentient beings.
Throughout my experience of learning Buddhism, I summarize the detours I have taken on my way to learning Buddhism:
1. Insincerity of the heart. I know very well that practicing Buddhism is cultivating one’s heart. If one does not have true faith in the Dharma and Guan Yin Bodhisattva, it is useless. Only if you give your heart wholeheartedly to Guan Yin Bodhisattva will you be saved!
2. My will is not firm. My will is not strong enough, that is to say, it is not refined enough. Why is it not refined? To put it bluntly, the power of a vow is not sufficient. I prayed with a purpose before. So once my target was achieved, I slacked off.
3. Shortcomings were not overcome. When I want to lose my temper, I still lose my temper. When I feel afflicted, I still feel afflicted. Here I think of a way to turn my mind. It is also what Master Lu always talks about, turning afflictions into bodhi. In our lives, we must change practically, and only when we change can we progress.
4. Lack of action. This action is related to vow power. Usually in Buddha’s study and worship, I made empty vows, and I did not go to do it. Slowly the heart is numb. By the time karmic obstacles flare up, it’s too late to regret.
Dear Buddhist practitioners, the above is my experience of learning Buddhism and my understanding. 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.

心灵法门治愈我的肩周炎和白癜风
感恩大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨！
感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨！
感恩龙天护法金刚菩萨！
感恩无我利他舍命弘法的师父！
弟子诸华萍，至今学佛三年有余，现请菩萨妈妈见证，我诸华萍分享我学佛三年来的经历和感悟，希望我的分享能让更多的师兄受益，从我的学佛道路中吸取教训从而更加努力的学佛，救度有缘。
如果没有观世音菩萨救我，如果没有遇到师父，我不知道我的生命将走向哪里，但可以肯定的是一定是走向黑暗。现在每次抬眼看到观世音菩萨的画像，无语泪先流，菩萨妈妈，菩萨妈妈，我诸华萍不知哪辈子修来的福份，能与您结缘，能与心灵法门结缘，我除了感恩还是感恩。
2015年夏天，是我人生中最黑暗的一年，我被查出患有白癜风。当时因为朋友不经意的看到我嘴角泛白，跟正常皮肤不一样。跟我说去医院检查下。我起先还以为是冷饭块，不以为然。可后来对着镜子照了许久，觉得不对劲，便去杭州中医院检查，经医院确诊是白癜风，而且很难治好。我整个人都蒙了，怎么可能？我们家族里又没人得过这个病，我怎么会得这个病？我疯狂似地在网上搜，越看心越焦虑，这个病俗称不死的癌症，还会不断蔓延，直至整个脸，甚至全身。我害怕我变成那样，心里无助而恐惧。
就这样一个小小的皮肤病就把我整个打碎，我把工作也辞了，我怕我的脸会把单位同事吓着，我也不知怎么办，每天活在恐慌无助中。真是屋漏偏逢连夜雨，一波未平，一波又起，我的左手臂不知不觉酸痛，提不起劲，抬不起，往背后更是疼痛难忍，特别是晚上，根本不可能让你睡觉，手臂中的每一根神经都犹如针刺般，让你彻夜难眠。我才39岁，为什么不幸会突然之间降临到我的头上，我到底做错了什么？我去宁波的医院就诊，做了磁共振，报告显示是肩胛积液，除了锻炼也没什么好的治疗方法。
就在我彷徨无助时，我遇到了心灵法门。感恩菩萨妈妈。我现在想，我可能人还算老实，还有那么一点点善良之心，所以菩萨妈妈可怜我，让我得遇心灵法门。当时去公园锻炼身体，恰巧碰到也在锻炼的洪师兄，他们练太极，我想这个不错，可能对我的身体有帮助，所以也跟着一起练。每天他们第一时间谈得是做功课的事，我很好奇，洪师兄七十多岁了，心想这么大年纪了还做什么功课，于是问他们功课是什么？这一问就问到了心灵法门。他们说心灵法门可以救我的病。我何其不幸，又何其幸运。我马上表示极大的兴趣想学，当我拿到洪师兄结缘我的一本书，小心翼翼地打开时，里面是师父的弘法的照片，我印象深刻。就是这样一位师父，让我以后的人生之路有了不一样旅程。
我捧着经书，看着每个经文对应的功效，原来每一种经文都是药方。我如饥似渴地念起来，念心经，念礼佛大忏悔文时，我都是嚎淘大哭地念，我深知我造了多少恶业，我自以为自己还是个好人，但现在明白了，我那时连人都不够格。我杀生，我堕胎，我邪淫，我妄语，我样样都具全。所以我才会得白癜风，才会得肩周炎，都是我自己造的因。我在这里深深的忏悔，对不起，请原谅我的无明无知。
做了一个星期的功课后，我着手许愿一拨49张小房子，送流产的孩子。后来再送自己的要经者一拨，大约送了一百多张小房子后，我的肩周炎明显好转。更神奇的是白癜风居然也在转好。
2016年1月我设立佛台，在设佛台的当天许愿吃全素。决不杀生。
俗话说，学佛一年，佛在眼前，学佛三年，佛在天边。我在刚开始一年的时间里，为了使自己的病快速好转，每天还算比较精进，整个人相比以前判若两人。
身体上，以前东痛西痛，特别是腰和肩周炎，基本上每个星期要去针灸。现在没去推拿针灸过，肩周炎已基本康复，腰也没有复发过。
心态上，以前总是怨天尤人，自信不足，烦恼不断，一点小事要伤心好几天。现在学了佛想明白了，一切皆是因果，一切都是自己的错。
行为上，以前做事懒散，好吃懒做。现在学了佛，主动去做事，能够去帮助别人。
但是由于自己没有头削尖似地去学佛，劣根性暴发，乱发脾气，导致小房子也跟不上，一天断断续续也只能维持在三张左右。在2017年夏天，白癜风再次卷土重来。这次比第一次更严重，整个发展到眼睛、眉毛，及脖子。我原本稍微有点明白的心又转入了迷茫中，我找不到方向，学佛也经常钻牛角尖，常常怀疑佛法是不是有问题，特别是二年来一直在学佛，为什么菩萨不保佑我？师兄们，我这样的情况一直断断续续持续到参加印尼法会。幸好菩萨妈妈在冥冥中又帮助了我，让我参加了法会并拜了师，在拜师仪式现场，我被灵性卡住喉咙竟发不出声音，我只有不停地掉泪，师父在前面领读弟子守则，我却不能正常读，任由眼泪疯狂洒落，弟子业障深重啊，弟子不努力消业，现在还让师父背业。对不起菩萨，对不起师父！拜师现场很多人都看到殊胜景像，我一点也没有，我真的修得不好！
法会中，我经一位王师兄点拨，他说我修行上没有任何进步，还指出我的不足和提醒以后修行注意事项。真的很感恩这位师兄，他真的是菩萨派来点拨我的。印尼法会回来后，我感觉整个人焕然一新，重新燃起了学佛的动力。调整了目标，主要先消业，一年中许愿念500张小房子给自己身上的要经者。许愿按十善业标准礼佛忏悔今生的业障。直到现在，我脸上的白癜风基本已看不出来。眼睛周围，我看着黑色素一点点布满曾经白色的皮肤，我知道，是菩萨再一次的救了我。感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨妈妈，感恩师父默默地加持弟子。弟子发愿一定会跟着师父好好修，放下小我，成就大我，做观世音菩萨和师父的好帮手。弘扬心灵法门，救度众生。
纵观我学佛的经历，我总结下我学佛路上走过的弯路：
—、心不诚。我深知修心修行修得是一颗心。如果对法门不真信，对观世音菩萨不真信，那是没有用的。只有把这颗心全然的交给观世音菩萨，才会得到救度！
二、意不坚。意志不够坚定，也就是说不够精进。为什么不精进，说白了就是愿力不够。我之前都是有目的求，所以一旦目的达到，就懈怠。
三、毛病不改。该发脾气的时候还是发脾气，该烦恼的时候还是烦恼。这里我想到一个方法就是转念。也是师父经常在说的化烦恼为菩提。在生活当中要确确实实地改，改了才能变。
四、行动力不足，这个行动力其实跟愿力有关系，因为平时在学佛拜佛中，都在空发愿，发了却没有去做。所以慢慢的这个心麻木。到了业障爆发，后悔莫及。
师兄们，以上是我的学佛经历及感悟。如果在分享过程中有任何不如理不如法，请大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅，请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨原谅，请龙天护法菩萨原谅，请师父慈悲原谅，请师兄们原谅。
