Hello everyone! I am Buddhist practitioner Yang Qing. Today, with immense gratitude, I share with you my Buddhist experience. The topic is: Guan Yin Bodhisattva saves my son with Down syndrome
In 2016, my youngest son was born. He was difficult to care for from birth, his body limp, lacking even the strength to feed properly. With no family history of such ailments, we didn’t think much of it at the time. It wasn’t until 6 months later, when he still couldn’t hold his head up, that we took him to the Shanghai Children’s Hospital for examination. The doctor’s initial diagnosis was trisomy 21, commonly known as Down syndrome. They said it was incurable. After the nurse drew blood, we had to wait a month before we could receive the confirmed diagnosis.
On the journey back home, I gazed up at the sky and made a vow to the heavens: if my child has no problem, I would become a vegetarian for life. Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva heard my prayer and guided me to the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. From that moment on, I embarked on the path of practicing Buddhism to heal my child.
In 2017, we set up a Buddhist altar at home, and I vowed to remain a lifelong vegetarian, transferring the merits and virtues of my vegetarianism to my son. I began reciting Buddhist scriptures. Following the teachings of Master Lu on dealing with severe illnesses, I made vows, recited Buddhist scriptures, and performed life liberation.
Fig 1. Picture 1 taken in 2017 or 2018 when my son was 1 or 2 years old. The symptoms of Down syndrome are evident.
My son’s karmic obstacles were truly heavy. Over the course of >1 year, I burned 900 Little Houses for his karmic creditors, but his condition showed little improvement. Moreover, there was strong opposition from within the family. My father-in-law didn’t believe in Buddhism. Whenever he heard Master Lu’s recordings playing, he dismissed them as fraudulent.
At that time, my son was particularly prone to illness, even a minor cold would take a month to recover from. As each cold subsided, another would follow, leaving me mentally and physically exhausted.
Due to my reluctance for my father-in-law to accumulate negative karma, I listened to Master Lu’s teachings less frequently, and had fewer opportunities to absorb His Dharma energy. Simultaneously, feeling hopeless about my son’s condition, I gradually became lax in my efforts. The progress my son had made regressed somewhat due to my negligence.
After the New Year, I decided to take care of my son myself, no longer allowing my father-in-law to assist. Around that time, a rehabilitation center opened near our home, and I enrolled him there for therapy. Concurrently, I recommitted myself to Buddhism practice. With the compassionate support of fellow practitioners and the blessings of Bodhisattvas, my son’s condition began to improve once again. I am deeply grateful for the caring concern of my fellow practitioners. These Bodhisattvas living in human world pulled me back from the abyss of suffering!
In 2018, I attended a Buddhist conference in Malaysia. Soon after returning, Master Lu appeared in a dream to read my son’s totem. I felt immense guilt towards Master Lu because I had been overwhelmed by worldly concerns. Reflecting on that period, although I understood that all was the result of my own karmic obstacles, I had fallen into the trap of attachment. I desperately wanted my child to recover quickly. Unable to accept the severity of his condition and my own karmic burden, I found myself resenting my son deeply. I complained that he had ruined my life. I would often lose control, as if possessed. At that time, I was nothing like a true practitioner.
After resuming my recitation of Buddhist scriptures, continuously burning Little Houses for my son’s karmic creditors, engaging in uninterrupted life liberation, and participating in the study of Buddhism in Plain Terms to elevate my level of spirituality and deeply comprehend the importance of rectifying faults, my son’s overall condition began to improve.
Fig 2. Picture 2 taken in 2023 when my son was 7 years old. The symptoms of Down syndrome are less pronounced.
His motor skills have recovered remarkably; he can jump and run. Sometimes I joke that his little legs can outrun me.
He plays basketball and can score multiple baskets in the adult-sized hoop.
He also plays badminton and can interact back and forth with his father during their games.
The peculiar movements and stiffness associated with Down syndrome have basically disappeared.
He has become mischievous and adorable. When he wants juice, he’ll run over and say, “Mom, I want apple juice.” He warms my heart. After meals, he helps adults tidy up and sweep the floor. He’s willing to share fruits and snacks with others. He warmly greets people without shyness, approaching them to say, “Hello!”
Over these past few years, my son’s appearance has changed significantly, and he no longer resembles a child with Down syndrome.
The transformation in my son has brought hope to our entire family. Now, my husband also recites Buddhist scriptures, and my daughter has started reciting Buddhist scriptures daily too!
My son is currently attending kindergarten (due to his condition, we have arranged for delayed entry into elementary school). We are deeply grateful for the compassionate blessings of the Bodhisattvas, as there are also many positive affinities at the kindergarten. The teachers take great care of him, and the children in his class are very friendly towards him. One day, while dropping him off at kindergarten, we met a boy from his class at the entrance. The two children hugged each other repeatedly. We are immensely grateful for the compassion of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, allowing my son to make friends at kindergarten.
Fig. 3. Picture taken in 2024 when my son was 8 years old. He is swinging.
After learning from fellow practitioners that children reciting Buddhist scriptures can help them connect with the aura of Bodhisattvas and aid in recovery, I began teaching my son to recite scriptures. Currently, with some guidance, he can recite the Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan. When reciting together, he can also recite the Great Compassion Mantra and the Heart Sutra. This year, I started making Dharma offerings online. If there are any merits and virtues, I pray to the Bodhisattvas to use half of them to eliminate my own karmic obstacles, and the other half to alleviate my son’s karmic obstacles, blessing him to recover from Down syndrome and speak clearly and fluently at an early date. Recently, the teacher mentioned that his expressive abilities have greatly improved.
Sometimes, his progress truly surprises me. Though he still lags behind his peers in intellect and speech, I believe that with diligent cultivation, there will come a time when everything falls into place.
Why did my child end up with an incurable medical condition? This question has haunted me for years. Through Buddhism, I finally understand. Master Lu’s teachings, “Ancestral killing karma, karma retribution spans 3 generations. If you engage in killing now, your children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences” ring true. My child’s great-grandfather worked as a chef and slaughtered many animals. His grandfather (my father-in-law) catches and consumes live sea animals, and raises chickens and ducks. His grandfather still engages in killing today. Thus, the killing karma of my husband’s family runs deep. These karmic obstacles manifest in my child’s Down syndrome. Master Lu further teaches, “As we practice Buddhism, we must understand cause and effect. The cause arises from your actions, and so does the result.” Therefore, my child’s suffering is not someone else’s fault; it’s the result of his ancestors’ misdeeds. Moreover, my marriage into my husband’s family and my child’s birth into our household are all karmic consequences from past lives. Hence, I no longer blame others or fate. Instead, I am determined to repay my child’s karmic debts.
I aim to spread Buddhism far and wide. Through my son’s case, I want the entire world to understand that Down syndrome can be treated. This message is particularly important for experts, scholars, doctors, and parents of babies with Down syndrome. The solution lies in Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door!

观世音菩萨慈悲救度，小儿唐氏综合症的孩子逐渐康复
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！
感恩恩师慈父卢军宏台长！
请大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑，我今天为了度众生，学习观世音菩萨千手千眼救度众生，所以我现身说法，请观世音菩萨给我加持，保佑我能够把今天这个弘法转为功德。
大家好！我是庆扬同修。今天，我怀着无比感恩的心情来和大家分享。题目是：观世音菩萨慈悲救度，小儿唐氏综合征的孩子逐渐康复
2016年，我的小儿子出生了。从出生起他就很难带。他全身软软的，甚至连吃奶的力气都没有。因为家族里没有这样的病史，当时我们也没有多想。半岁后儿子还不会立头，我们才带着他到上海儿童医院去检查。医生初诊就说他是21号染色体三体综合症，俗称小儿唐氏综合症。医生说这个病治不好的。护士抽完血后，要过一个月我们才能拿确诊报告。
在返程的车上，我望着天空，对着上天发愿祈求：如果孩子是好的，我愿意一辈子吃素。大慈大悲观世音菩萨听到了我的祈求，让我得遇心灵法门。从此，我走上了学佛修心、用佛法救助孩子康复之路。
2017年，家中设佛台，我许愿终生吃全素，将吃全素的功德转给儿子。我开始念经。按照台长师父关于重症的开示，我许愿、念经、放生。
儿子业障真的太重了。在一年多的时间里，我给他的要经者烧送了900张经文组合，但是他的变化并不大。同时，来自家族的阻碍十分强大。我的公公不信佛。当我听师父录音时，公公就说是假的。
那时，儿子特别容易生病，就连一个小小的感冒都要一个月才会好。感冒好了没多久，他又生病。我是心力交瘁，疲于奔命。
因为我不希望公公造口业，所以师父录音我听得少了，和师父接气场的机会也少了。同时，因为对于儿子的病我感觉看不到希望，慢慢我就懈怠了。儿子原本变好的面相因为我那两年的懈怠又变回去一些了。
年后，我就自己带孩子，不再让公公过来帮我带孩子了。那时候，我家附近新开了一个康复中心。我就送孩子去康复中心做康复。同时，我重新精进学佛。在师兄们慈悲助缘下，在菩萨的慈悲加持下，孩子的面相又开始往好的方向转变着。非常感恩师兄们一直在关心着我。这些人间的菩萨把我又重新从苦海中拉了回来！
2018年，我参加了马来西亚法会。回来后不久，师父来梦中给孩子看图腾。非常愧对师父，因为我被现实打趴了。回想那段时间，虽然我明白一切都是自己的业障，但是我却落入执着魔障之中。我执着地想要孩子快速好起来。对于有这么一个孩子，对于业障的深重，我内心无法接受，以至于对儿子抱怨重重。我抱怨他把我的生活都毁了。我那时经常会发狂，就像着了魔一样。那时的我，根本就不像一个修行人。
在重新念经后，一拨拨组合烧送下去，不间断放生，参加《白话佛法》的学习，提高境界，并深刻认知到改毛病的重要性后，我儿子各方面也随之都变好了。
现在，儿子运动力恢复得不错，会跳会跑。有时候我开玩笑说，小短腿跑得我都追不上了。
他会打篮球，大人的球框也可以投进多个球。
他也会打羽毛球，和他爸爸打羽毛球可以互动来回。
小儿唐氏综合症的怪异动作以及肢体僵硬症状基本上没有了。
儿子现在变得调皮可爱。他想喝果汁了，就会跑过来和我说：“妈妈，我要榨苹果汁”。他好暖心，吃完饭和大人一起收拾扫地。水果零食他愿意与他人分享。他见人热情不怕生，会主动上前打招呼说，“你好！。”
儿子这几年面相变化很大，看起来已经不大像唐氏孩子了。
儿子的变化给了我们全家的希望。现在先生也念经了，女儿也念经做功课了！
儿子目前在读幼儿园（因为他的病情我们办理了延缓入小学）。非常感恩菩萨的慈悲保佑，在幼儿园里也是善缘多。老师很照顾孩子，班上的孩子对他也很友善。有天送孩子上幼儿园，在门口碰到他们班上一个男孩子。两个孩子互相拥抱，抱了一下又一下。非常感恩观世音菩萨的慈悲，让儿子在幼儿园能够交到朋友。
听同修分享孩子自己念经和菩萨接气场有助于康复，我便开始教孩子念经。目前，经过提示，他可以念《七佛灭罪真言》。如果带着一起念，他可以念《大悲咒》和《心经》。今年，我开始在网络上做法布施，向菩萨诚心祈求如果有功德，一半功德用于我自身消业障，另一半消除儿子的业障，保佑他唐氏症早日康复，说话清晰流利。这些天老师说孩子表达能力提高了很多。
在念经的基础上，我教孩子自己念经。我多做功德，转一部分功德给孩子。有时候，孩子的进步真的会让人惊喜。虽然他的智力、说话和同龄孩子比还有些差距，但我相信只要我好好修心修行，水一定会有烧开的时候。
孩子为什么会患上医学上的不治之症？这些年来，这个问题一直困扰着我。通过学佛我终于明白了，原来师父开示的“祖上杀业，杀业报三代，你们现在做杀业的话，你们的孩子和孙子都会受你们的业报。”句句真实不虚。我儿子的太爷爷做厨师工作，杀过很多动物。我儿子的爷爷钓龙虾，吃活物，还养鸡、养鸭等等。我儿子的爷爷现在还在杀生。所以，我先生一家家族杀业深重。这些业障报到我儿子身上，导致孩子患上唐氏综合症。师父还开示：“我们学佛人要懂得，如是因，如是果，这个因出来了，是你造成的，这个果出来了，也是你造成的。”所以，儿子如今受报怪不得别人，都是祖先造的恶因。而且，我嫁到先生家，也是往世的因缘果报；儿子出生在我家，也是我们宿世的缘分。所以，我不再怨天尤人。我要替孩子好好还清业债。
我要好好弘扬佛法。我要用我小儿子的案例让全世界的人都知道，包括那些专家、学者、医生，尤其是那些唐氏综合症宝宝的父母，唐氏综合症有药可医，那就是心灵法门！
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！请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅！请恩师慈父慈悲原谅！
请师兄们批评指正！我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背！
