Today, to save all sentient beings, I will learn from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to spread Dharma. I will convince sentient beings to practice Buddhism using my experiences. May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me and help me turn my propagation into merits and virtues. I hope my propagation can form positive connections with all sentient beings, transform the right ones extensively, and awaken more beings.
Hello everyone! I am Buddhist practitioner Zou. Today, the topic of my sharing is: Rheumatoid arthritis gradually improved after practicing Buddhism
I used to be a severe rheumatoid arthritis patient—my hands and feet were severely deformed, and every joint and muscle in my body was in pain, making me unable to care for myself and confined to bed. Over time, I developed blisters and bedsores all over my body. At the same time, I also suffered from high blood sugar and the complications of diabetes—ulcers on my feet. This made me suffer unbearably!
Before practicing Buddhism, I tried injections, medications, and every method available, but none of them worked well; they only provided temporary relief. At that time, I truly experienced what it meant to be in a state worse than death, as if living in a human hell!
On March 18, 2020, I began practicing Buddhism by reciting Buddhist scriptures and the Little House. Since then, my condition has improved slightly, giving me hope! Consequently, I vowed to adopt a vegetarian diet, refrain from killing, and adhere to releasing animals as circumstances permit. While reciting Buddhist scriptures to ascend aborted fetuses and deceased beings, I also continued to recite Little Houses for my karmic creditors. Eventually, with the accumulation of small changes, a qualitative transformation occurred: my physical condition began to improve! Later, with the help of fellow practitioners, a Buddhist altar was set up in my home, bringing great joy through the Dharma!
On May 7, 2022, a fellow practitioner invited me to join a group studying Buddhism in Plain Terms, where I benefited greatly. During the learning process, I experienced a warmth throughout my body, which I believe was a blessing from the Bodhisattvas. Now, my condition has greatly improved: I can walk again, my complexion has improved significantly, and importantly I can take care of myself. I have also transformed sentient beings around me into Buddhists.
Master Lu once enlightened us that: “There are two methods to eliminate negative karma: one is by enduring suffering with your own body to repay debts, and the other is by transforming your negative karma through making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and releasing animals (Malaysia Buddhist Conference, April 25, 2017).”
A few days ago, the temperature suddenly dropped, and my legs were in severe pain. Due to mobility issues, I couldn’t make it to the restroom in time, resulting in several instances of wetting my pants. I lit incense and prayed to the Bodhisattvas, utilizing all the merits and virtues from two sessions of 2 group study of Buddhism to eliminate the karma causing my leg pain. With gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva for granting my request, my leg pain vanished on the fourth day!
Not long after, I was struck with a splitting headache, unable to find relief whether standing or sitting. I knew this was a manifestation of karmic obstacles. Therefore, I immediately prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, using the merits and virtues from my offerings of Dharma in four groups to dispel the karma causing my head pain, allowing me to alleviate the pain and have more energy to focus on studying Buddhism, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and repaying debts! On that very day, my headache disappeared! The teachings of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door are true and efficacious.
Life is short yet filled with numerous tribulations, just as Master Lu has taught: “Life is suffering, emptiness, and impermanence! All things are subject to formation, existence, decay and emptiness, and people are subject to birth, aging, illness, and death. Without practicing Buddhism, we will only be bound and fettered by fate, endlessly cycling through karmic retribution, never finding liberation.
Gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, gratitude to the compassionate and selfless Master who has imparted to us such an extraordinary Dharma Door and miraculous methods. As long as we listen and follow obediently, we can surely resolve various calamities in life!
The above sharing is genuine. I will definitely continue to persist in practicing Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures diligently. I hope more sentient beings having affinity with Buddha can encounter Buddhism, believe in cause and effect, practice Buddhism, recite Buddhist scriptures, and attain liberation from suffering to find happiness.
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 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 would appreciate my fellow Buddhist practitioners’ critique and correction! I, not my fellow Buddhist practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!
Buddhist practitioner: Zou, Gratitude and Namaste!

学佛后，类风湿逐渐好转；共修《白话佛法》受益良多
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卢军宏台长！
今天我学习观世音菩萨的大慈大悲精神弘法利生，所以现身说法。感恩观世音菩萨慈悲保佑把我的分享转成功德，希望我的分享能够广结善缘，广度有缘，度化更多的有缘众生！
大家好！我是邹同修。今天我分享的题目是：学佛后，类风湿逐渐好转；共修《白话佛法》受益良多
曾经的我是一个类风湿非常严重的病人——手、脚都严重变形，全身上下关节和肌肉没有不疼的地方，生活不能自理，只能躺在床上。时间长了，我身上就长了水泡和褥疮。同时，我还患有高血糖，糖尿病的并发症——烂脚。这让我疼痛难忍！学佛前，我打过针、吃过药，什么方法都用过了，但是效果都不好，治标不治本。当时的我真的体会到了什么是生不如死，就像活在人间地狱一般！
2020年3月18日，我开始学佛念经、念经文组合。从那以后，我的病情就有所减轻了，这让我看到了希望！于是，我许愿吃全素、不杀生、坚持随缘放生。我一边念经超度流产的孩子和亡人，一边坚持超度自己的要经者。终于，量变达到质变，我的身体状况有了改变！后来在师兄们的帮助下，我家设了佛台，真是法喜充满！
2022年5月7日，师兄邀请我进了《白话佛法》的共修群学习，我受益很大。在学习的过程中，我全身发热，得到了菩萨的加持。现在，我的病情有所好转，已经能下地走路了，气色也比以前好了很多，生活也能自理了。我还度化了身边的有缘众生。
师父开示过：“消业有两种方法：一种是用你的肉体不断地去吃苦，去还债；还有一种就是通过许愿、念经、放生来转换自己的恶因和恶业”（马来西亚 170425）。
前几天，气温骤降，我的腿疼得厉害。由于行动不便，来不及去厕所，导致好几次都尿在了裤子上。我就上香求菩萨保佑，把两场共修的功德全部转出来，消除腿疼的业障。感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨有求必应，第4天腿就不疼了！没过几天，我又头痛欲裂，站也不是，坐也不是。我知道这是业障爆发了。于是，我赶紧祈求观世音菩萨，用我在4个群里法布施的功德来消除我头部疼痛的业障，让我减轻疼痛，有更多的精力去专心学佛、念经、还债！心灵法门真实不虚，当天我的头就不疼了！
人生短暂却劫难重重，真的像师父开示的一样：苦空无常！物有成住坏空，人有生老病死。如果不学佛，我们只能被命运牵绊、束缚，随着业力无休止地轮回，永远没有出离的一天。
感恩观世音菩萨，感恩慈悲大爱、无我利他的恩师传授给我们这么殊胜的法门和灵验的妙法，只要我们听话照做就一定能化解人生中的各种灾劫！
以上分享真实不虚，我一定会继续坚持好好学佛念经的。希望更多的有缘众生能够闻到佛法，相信因果，学佛念经，离苦得乐！我的分享到此结束。
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卢军宏台长！
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！
