In 2011, I experienced a severe karmic outbreak and was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. At that time, both my arms and legs were almost paralyzed, making even simple tasks like using a key to open a door impossible. I couldn’t even turn the key with both hands together. Initially, I stubbornly tried to climb stairs by gripping the handrail tightly, struggling one step at a time to pull myself upstairs. However, as the condition worsened, during hospitalization, I could only move around in a wheelchair for treatment. I lost my ability to care for myself. Even with assistance from a handrail or someone supporting me, I could only take a few steps and still couldn’t do without the wheelchair. Eventually, I even experienced mouth paralysis and difficulty with tongue movement.
After >40 days in the hospital, costing nearly 60,000 CNY, my condition still wasn’t optimistic.
Upon discharge, I asked the doctor, “When will I be able to return to normal?” The doctor replied, “What do you mean by normal?” I said, “Just like you guys, able to walk, move freely, run, and jump.” The doctor shook his/her head and said, “Being able to shuffle along on your belly is already quite good.”
Born with a love for beauty, I couldn’t bear to go out without looking presentable. Now, with these two long legs shuffling along, what zest for life did I have left?! I felt like life had hit rock bottom, with no hope in sight. In the days following discharge, questions kept haunting my mind: What do I do now? Who will help me? Am I going to rely on others for the rest of my life? Strong feelings of resistance led me to the realization that I couldn’t be hospitalized anymore, and I couldn’t afford to be hospitalized anymore. So, I resorted to the next best thing—I searched online for ways to heal myself without spending money. Fate had pushed me to this desperate situation, and I had no choice but to fight back. So, no matter what method I found, as long as it seemed feasible, I would try it on myself…
Finally, one day, when I was at my wit’s end, I stumbled upon a blog post. It introduced various methods of cultivation, and I was intrigued by three words in parentheses. Without hesitation, I clicked on the adjacent link to find out more. Little did I know, once I entered, I couldn’t leave! The content there was exactly what I wanted to know but didn’t know whom to ask or where to learn. It was clear, thorough, and provided specific methods. Suddenly, I saw hope and felt saved.
After browsing for a while, I excitedly clapped my hands and pointed at the computer, exclaiming, “From now on, I will follow this Master!” That gentleman became my Master! From that moment on, my search came to a halt, and my misfortune began to transform. Having gone through several major illnesses as a baptism, the desire for survival and change spurred me on. I downloaded, downloaded, and downloaded from my Master’s blog without hesitation… preparing, preparing, and preparing again. With everything ready, on the eve of Chinese New Year, for the first time in my life, I followed the method taught by my Master, offering incense, doing daily recitation of Buddhist scriptures, reciting the Little House… Later, I also learned to release captured animals. From that moment on, I entered into another world.
As time passed, my commitment to Buddhism, the recitation of Buddhist scriptures, and ongoing animal releases continued, and my nightmares diminished. I noticed that the more Buddhist scriptures I recited, the stronger my legs, once as weak as spongy radishes, became. In <2 months, I could actually run to catch the bus! Boarding the bus, I was overwhelmed with excitement, embracing myself with both hands, and chanting in my heart, “Grateful to the Bodhisattvas, grateful to the Bodhisattvas!” This experience fueled my enthusiasm for practice even further, as I had transitioned from stumbling to running!
Firstly, my recovery defied the doctors’ predictions!
Then, by diligently utilizing the Five Golden Buddhist Practices to repay karmic debts and dispel karmic obstacles, my health improved more and more. From head to toe, all sorts of minor ailments disappeared without a trace:
1. The prickly heat that always appeared in the summer never dared to show up again after I only attended one Buddhist conference.
2. I found it difficult to sleep on my left side; whenever I did, I couldn’t open my mouth to eat. Conversely, I couldn’t fully straighten my right leg when lying flat, unless I placed a pillow under my knee. As for the challenges of eating and the “left-right” problem, I’m uncertain when the issues was naturally resolved.
3. During the cold and flu season, I used to catch a cold every time and became a frequent visitor to the clinic. However, after practicing Buddhism and reciting Buddhist scriptures, I no longer needed to visit the clinic.
Reflecting on my Buddhist journey, through the application of the Five Golden Buddhist Practices and drawing from my personal experiences of profound efficacy, my faith has steadily deepened. With numerous illnesses naturally healed, I persistently study Buddhism in Plain Terms, enhancing my comprehension of cause and effect and correcting my shortcomings. Embracing a healthy and joyful existence under Buddhism’s radiant illumination, each day brims with Dharma joy and inner contentment.
Today, I sincerely express my gratitude to the Bodhisattvas and my Master. I am committed to continue striving, adhering to a vegetarian diet and abstaining from eggs for the rest of my life. I will uphold the Five Precepts and Ten Virtues, live ascetically, remain true to my original intentions, respect my Master and the teachings, and tirelessly engage in animal release. May I benefit sentient beings whenever possible, accumulate merits and virtues, diligently progress on the path, and achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.

学佛念经运用“五大法宝”，让我战胜了格林巴利综合症，打破医生的预言，创造医学奇迹
2011年我业障大爆发，得了格林巴利综合症。那时已胳膊、腿都不好使了，连用钥匙开门都不能如愿，两个手一起拧都拧不动那钥匙。开始我还坚持自己把着楼梯的栏杆一使劲上一步，一使劲上一步，把自己拽到楼上去。到后来越来越严重。住院的时候来回治疗就只能坐轮椅了。自己不能自理，扶着栏杆或有人搀扶可以走几步，还是离不开轮椅，甚至还出现了嘴歪、舌头不好使的现象。住院40多天花了近6万多元，但自身状况仍不乐观。
出院时我问医生：“我啥时候能恢复正常啊？”医生：“啥是正常啊？”我：“就是和你们一样啊，能走、能撂、能跑、能跳呗。”医生摇摇头说：“你能扎趴着走已经很不错了。”
生来就爱美，不把自己收拾个模样绝不出门的我，现在让这两条大长腿扎趴着走，我还活个啥劲儿啊？！感觉人生跌落到谷底，看不到任何希望。出院后的一段时间，一些问题一直在脑子里萦绕：以后咋办呢？谁能来帮帮我呀？难道从此以后就要别人来伺候我了吗？强烈的不甘心让我想到自己不能再住院了，也没钱住院了呀，那就退而求其次，上网去找找吧，能找到不用花钱也能把自己调理好的办法也好啊！命运把我逼到这种境地，只能说置死地而后生了。于是无论找到什么办法，只要觉得可行，就在自己身上试……
终于有一天，绝处逢生的我看到一个博文，里面就是介绍很多种修行的方法，我被一个括号里的三个字所吸引，没看到过，就点了旁边的网址想看个究竟，没想到一进去就出不来啦！因为那里面的内容全是我想知道，又不知道找谁去问、上哪儿去学的知识，说得清楚明白透彻，还告诉你具体的方法，让我顿时看到了希望，感觉自己有救了。浏览一番后我兴奋地双手一拍，一指电脑，大声说：“从今往后我就跟定这位师父啦！”这个人就是我师父啊！从那刻起，寻找的脚步戛然而止，厄运也开始转变。经历过几场大病“洗礼”的自己，此时求生、求改变的欲望让我来了劲头，不顾一切地从师父博客里下载、下载、再下载……准备、准备、再准备。一切就绪，大年三十晚上，我有生以来第一次，按照我师父教给的方法上头香、做功课、念小房子……后来也学会了放生，那时起，我进入了另外一个世界中。
随着时间推移，学佛、念经、放生在继续，噩梦在减少，我感觉越念那两条像糠萝卜的腿越有劲儿了。不到两个月的时间，我竟然可以一路小跑儿地去撵公共汽车了！上了汽车，我激动得双手抱在胸前，心里一直在念叨：“感恩菩萨，感恩菩萨！”从此我学得更起劲儿了，因为我已经从蹒跚走升级到一路小跑了呀！首先打破了医生的预言。通过运用“五大法宝”抓紧还债消业障，身体越来越好，从头到脚，说不出名堂的大小毛病也都消失得无影无踪：
—逢夏必临幸的痱子只参加一次法会便再也不敢露面了；—睡觉不能左侧躺，躺了的后果就是想吃饭却张不开嘴，而右腿膝盖不能伸直平躺，除非膝盖下垫个枕头。这吃饭张不开嘴和“左右”的问题也不知道什么时候“警报”自动解除；—感冒流行期，每感必中，是诊所的常客。学佛念经后，诊所里再也见不到我的身影了。
一路走来，运用“五大法宝”和亲身经历过的灵验事例让我的信心不断增强，很多病痛也都不治而愈，同时自己也不断地学习《白话佛法》当中，更加知因懂果，改毛病，在佛光的普照下健康快乐地生活着，每天都法喜充满，心情愉悦。
今天的我由衷地感恩菩萨，感恩师父，我要继续努力，全素、戒蛋一生一世。严守五戒十善，清修，不忘初心，尊师重道，生命不息，放生不止。多度有缘，多做功德，一门精进，一世修成。
