I am Zhang, a Buddhist practitioner from North America. Today, with immense gratitude, I wish to share with the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Master Lu, all the Dharma protectors, and fellow practitioners, the miraculous events that have occurred in my child’s life over the past 3 years after I practiced the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.
In January 2015, with the assistance of the local Buddhist practice group leader, we established a Buddhist altar in our home. My husband and I began practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.
In the preceding decade, my child suffered from eczema, with lesions primarily affecting the joints of the limbs and ankles. Symptoms would temporarily alleviate with medication only to recur later. Due to the skin condition on her legs and feet, my child refrained from wearing skirts for many years. After practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door for 1.5 months and offering 200 Little Houses for her karmic creditors, the cracking and swelling on her legs and feet disappeared, and her skin became smooth with a slight tinge of red. The efficacy of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door was truly miraculous! Its effects were incredibly rapid! We were overjoyed! The complete healing of the skin condition solidified our faith in this Dharma Door, believing that the Three Golden Buddhist Practices will resolve all our family’s troubles and problems.
The second illness my child faced was depression. During her high school years, she found it extremely difficult to get out of bed every morning. She described feeling as if a mountain were weighing down on her. Initially, we attributed this to the heavy workload and stress of high school courses. Throughout high school, she completed a total of 13 college preparatory courses, often staying up until around 1 a.m. to finish homework, then waking up at 6 a.m. for school band rehearsals. As she progressed into college, her depressive symptoms became more pronounced. She became withdrawn, spoke less, showed little interest in personal grooming, and experienced extreme fatigue both physically and mentally. Eventually, she developed a tendency to oversleep, requiring >30 hours of sleep on weekends, indicative of hypersomnia. Unfortunately, we, being negligent, failed to recognize these symptoms as signs of a potentially incurable illness according to current medical standards.
It wasn’t until the summer of 2010 when she attended a bioinformatics summer program at a state university organized by a US institution, that she exhibited extreme lethargy and reluctance to attend classes. Concerned, she visited a doctor who diagnosed her with depression. Reflecting back on her symptoms over the past few years – fatigue, oversleeping, social withdrawal, constipation, and despondency – we finally realized that she had been struggling with depression for many years. Her constipation led her to avoid staple grains, opting instead for a diet heavy in vegetables and fruits. Extended periods of raw carrot consumption had left her complexion pale, and she was constantly melancholic, unable to muster enthusiasm for anything. How could she complete her college education under such circumstances? What kind of future awaited her? Would she even survive? Our family was engulfed in endless worry.
Since being diagnosed with depression, she embarked on a long journey of medication. While the medication provided temporary relief from her mental distress, it did not address the underlying issue – treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. What worried us most was the fear of her reaching a breaking point. According to reports, individuals with depression are about 30 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population. Therefore, when we heard about accidents happening at her school, our hearts trembled with fear and anxiety. We mourned for the students who had taken their own lives and worried deeply for our own child. Our daughter was studying far away, enduring the torment of illness while striving to complete her college coursework, fighting the disease alone. Every day felt like walking on the edge of a cliff. We desperately wished to help her. I turned to the internet to learn about depression, attempting to share cheerful stories during our phone calls. In those days, our only wish was for our child to stay alive. Our family felt as though we were living in a hell on earth.
When we were fortunate enough to encounter the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, it was like a refreshing rain after a long drought! Our previous feelings of helplessness and despair instantly transformed into a powerful motivation for reciting Buddhist scriptures. I recited for >10 hours every day. From February 1, 2015, to March 15, 2018, over the course of 3 years, my husband and I collectively offered >2600 Little Houses for our child’s karmic creditors; we didn’t keep count of the fish released, and >20 vows have been fulfilled. At the end of March 2018, our child called from out of state to tell us that she had been completely off antidepressants for 2 weeks without any discomfort. After enduring years of suffering, gratitude overwhelmed me, and tears flowed down my face. It was Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu who saved us! It was the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door that saved our entire family!
The compassionate light of the Bodhisattva and Master Lu will forever accompany us. In May 2016, our child graduated from graduate school but struggled to find employment afterward. My husband made a vow in front of the Buddhist altar to the compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva: “As your disciple, I, [his name], will transfer all merits and virtues earned from volunteering at the Singapore Dharma Conference to my daughter, [her name], so that she may find an ideal job. May she be blessed with the ability to apply her knowledge, become self-reliant, and grow into a valuable member of society.” Meanwhile, I diligently recited Little Houses for her karmic creditors, helping to alleviate her karmic obstacles. Just 5 days after my husband returned home from the Dharma Conference on February 22, 2017, our child received a job offer aligned with her professional aspirations!
Before practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, we would anxiously await our child’s phone calls every day, just to ensure she was still alive. Yet, each time we spoke, the first words from her were always “tired.” Now, she, full of vitality, shares with us only joyful news. Last month, she independently completed a project, saving the company $1.5 million, for which she received special commendation from her employer. To date, six years have passed, and she has never fallen into depression again.
In the years of following Master Lu to practice the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, we have come to understand that suffering from depression is karmic in nature. The root cause lies in the accumulated negative karma from past and present lives, including ancestral karma. My husband’s grandfather frequently hunted, resulting in his premature death, and causing mental illness in my husband’s eldest uncle. My husband was born and raised in the countryside, where his parents raised various animals, such as sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and geese, thus accumulating a significant amount of negative karma from killing. These killing karma led to my husband’s younger brother suffering from mental illness for many years, which has not been healed to this day. During our child’s primary and middle school years, my husband, while engaged in medical research, killed many laboratory animals. The collective karma of the family, combined with my husband’s individual karma, manifested as depression in our child. Now, both my husband and I have made vows: from now on, we will refrain from killing and consuming meat.
After practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door >3 years, both my husband and I have witnessed our child’s physical health restored, her finding a satisfying job, and her career flourishing. This once again proves that even without Master Lu’s reading of my daughter’s Totem, as long as we faithfully follow the His teachings and apply the Three Golden Buddhist Practices accordingly, our aspirations can still come to fruition.
If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I pray for forgiveness from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors.

Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Master Lu!

心灵法门保佑我的孩子身体恢复健康，事业蒸蒸日上
我是来自北美的张同修。今天，我怀着无比感恩的心向大慈大悲的观世音菩萨和诸佛菩萨，台长师父，龙天护法，和同修们分享我们家修习心灵法门三年以来，在我家孩子身上发生的灵验事情。
2015年1月，在当地共修组组长师兄的帮助下，我们家里设立了佛台，我和我先生开始修持心灵法门。
在此前的十多年里，我的孩子患有湿疹，病变主要分布在四肢关节和脚踝上。用药后症状缓解，之后又复发。因为腿脚的皮肤病，孩子多年来都不敢穿裙子。我们修习心灵法门一个半月，为她的要经者化送小房子二百张后，孩子腿脚上的龟裂和红肿症状就消失了，皮肤变得平滑，略带一点点红色。心灵法门如此之灵验！见效如此之神速！我们欣喜若狂！皮肤病的根治让我们坚定了对心灵法门的信心，相信三大法宝会化解我们家所有的烦恼和问题。
孩子的第二个疾病是抑郁症。上高中期间，孩子每天早晨起床非常困难。她说感觉有座大山压在她的身上。当时，我们以为可能是孩子高中的课程太多、太难、太累造成的。她在高中期间共计修了13门大学预修课程，每天夜里1点左右才能做完作业，早晨6点又要起床去学校参加校乐队排练。后来在大学期间，忧郁症状愈加明显，打怵与人交往，少言寡语，不喜欢打扮，身心极度疲倦。导致后来周末她需要睡上30多个小时，典型的嗜睡症。粗心的我们一直没有意识到这些症状会是一种目前医学上无法治愈的疾病造成的。
直到2010年夏天，她到某州立大学参加美国某机构举办的生物信息暑期班，她浑身发懒不愿意去上课，便去看了大夫。大夫说她患上了抑郁症。我们回想她几年来那些症状，疲倦、嗜睡、独处、便秘、沮丧，至此，我们才知道她已经忧郁多年了。便秘造成她不敢吃米面主食，只吃蔬菜和水果。长期生吃胡萝卜让她的脸色蜡黄，整天抑郁寡欢，做什么都提不起精神来，如何完成大学学业？她将来会有怎样的人生？她能不能活下去？我们一家人陷入了无尽地担忧。
自从被诊断出抑郁症，她就开始了漫长的吃药旅程。药物只能帮助她暂时舒缓一下精神方面的不适，但是并不能解决根本问题，也就是治标不治本。其实，最让我们担心的是怕她走极端。据报道，抑郁症病人自杀概率约为一般人群的三十倍。所以，当听到她的学校里有学生发生意外的噩耗时，我们心里惊恐不安，既为自杀的学生惋惜，又为自己的孩子担忧。孩子远在千里之外求学，深受病痛折磨，又要完成大学课程，独自与病魔斗争，天天在悬崖边上走，我们多想帮帮可怜的孩子。我上网学习抑郁症的相关知识，尽可能给女儿打电话说一些开心的事。在那些日子里，孩子能够活着就成了我们唯一的心愿。一家人感觉生活在人间地狱。
当我们有幸结缘心灵法门，犹如久旱逢甘霖！此前的无助与无奈瞬间化作我们念经的强大动力。我每天念经十几个小时。从2015年2月1日至2018年3月15日的3年的时间里，我和我先生总共帮助孩子的要经者化送小房子2600余张；放生鱼没有计数；许愿二十余个均已完成。2018年3月底，孩子从外州打电话告诉我们，已经完全停服抗抑郁症药两周了，没有任何不适感。多年的苦难终于熬过去了，感恩让我泪流满面。是观世音菩萨和师父救了我们！是心灵法门救了我们全家！
菩萨和师父的慈悲之光永远长伴。孩子是2016年5月份研究生毕业，毕业后一直找不到工作。 我先生在佛台前跟大慈大悲的观世音菩萨发愿：“弟子我某某某将把新加坡灵山法会上做义工的所有功德转让给我的女儿，让她能够找到一份理想工作，保佑她能够学以致用，自食其力，成长为一名对社会有用的人”。我则抓紧时间给她念小房子，帮她消业。我先生2017年2月22从法会回家后的第5天，孩子就接到电话录用通知，得到了专业对口的工作！
没有修心灵法门之前，天天祈盼孩子来电话，让我们起码知道孩子还活着，而每次通话，电话那头传过来的第一句话总是“tired”（“疲倦”的意思）。现如今，精力充沛的她告诉我们的都是开心快乐的事情。上个月，她独立完成了一项课题，为公司节省开支150万美元，受到公司的特别嘉奖。
追随师父修学心灵法门这些年来，我们明白了，患抑郁症是有因果的，其病因就是前世今生的业障，包括祖上的业障。我先生的爷爷经常打猎，以至于造成他的短寿果报；造成先生大伯精神疾病。我先生出生在农村，长在农村。我先生的父母养过羊、猪、兔、鸡、鸭和鹅等动物，造下很多杀业。这些杀业造成先生的弟弟患精神疾病多年，至今未愈。在我家孩子小学及初中期间，我先生在从事医药研究时，杀死了很多实验动物。家族的杀业，加上先生的杀业一起报在了孩子身上，造成了她的抑郁症。我先生和我均已发愿：从今以后，不杀生不吃荤！
通过我们夫妻二人修习心灵法门3年多时间，我家孩子身体恢复健康、找到如意工作，事业发展一帆风顺，再一次证明，哪怕没有打通师父的看图腾电话，只要依教奉行，如理如法地运用三大法宝，一样能够心想事成。
以上文字如有不如理不如法的地方，请观世音菩萨原谅，请诸佛菩萨原谅，请龙天护法菩萨原谅！
感恩南无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！
感恩大慈大悲的卢军宏台长师父！
感恩法师和同修们！
