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 benevolent Master Lu!
Gratitude to fellow Buddhist practitioners!
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. I, not my fellow Buddhist practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!
I am a beginner in practicing Buddhism. It was only in mid-February 2020 that I came into contact with the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, and I had been practicing Buddhism for only two months. As I delved deeper into the practice, the feeling of regret for not encountering the Dharma Door earlier grew stronger. At the same time, I felt incredibly fortunate. In just two short months, not only had I transformed myself, but my entire family had also benefited!
After learning Buddhism, I have come to understand many truths. Upon reflection, I realized that in every aspect of life, whether in conduct or in deeds, there is a need for continuous learning and striving to change oneself for the better. I am determined to diligently cultivate my mind and practice Buddhism, continuously progressing and elevating my spiritual realm. In the future, I aspire to attain the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!
Today, I am sharing the theme: “After practicing Buddhism and reciting scriptures for only two months, I miraculously guided my father, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, onto the path of recovery.”
My elderly father, aged 84, has been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) for 8 years. Since 2012, his temper has worsened, and his memory has gradually declined, causing great distress to our family.
Over the past year, my father’s symptoms have worsened significantly. He no longer recognizes family members, has no awareness of his own identity, spends most of his time sleeping, and when awake, he always wears a troubled and dull expression. Despite taking numerous medications daily, there has been little improvement, and his condition continues to deteriorate. This has caused immense pain for us as his children, as well as for my mother.
About two to three weeks ago, I confided my father’s situation to a fellow Buddhist practitioner. He/She advised us to play a continuous, soft rendition of the Great Compassion Mantra sung by a hundred voices for 24 hours straight. Additionally, my elder sister-in-law and I recited the Heart Sutra for my father, praying to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to bless him with wisdom, calm his mind, and strengthen his memory.
We followed these instructions diligently. On the second day of playing the Great Compassion Mantra, my father voluntarily passed a bowel movement. My mother was overjoyed, as my father had not had a bowel movement in 8 days.
On the third day, my father passed a bowel movement smoothly again! Our whole family was very happy!
A few days later, another miraculous event occurred. My brother called out to my father, asking him his surname and given name. Astonishingly, my father responded promptly and fluently! Our entire family was overjoyed and deeply moved. It had been a long time since my father had spoken.
Soon after, my father’s countenance became serene, and the troubled expression that had once clouded his face vanished without a trace!
My elder sister-in-law and I immediately decided: we must recite Little Houses for my father’s karmic creditors and perform life release for him!
On the morning of April 6, 2020, just after I released 10 fish on behalf of my father, another miracle occurred. As my father was turning over in bed, my mother asked, “Do you need to urinate?” To everyone’s astonishment, my father miraculously replied, “No, I need to defecate” (using colloquial language). Previously, my father had not expressed his thoughts for a long time!
What’s even more delightful is that in the afternoon of the same day, my mother spontaneously picked up the Buddhist scripture and read the introduction, then recited the Great Compassion Mantra 3 times in one breath. After finishing reciting the Great Compassion Mantra, my mother said, “I don’t feel tired at all, and my mind feels very clear!” Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
On the morning of April 7, my mother told me that my father had defecated and urinated normally again, and he hadn’t soiled the bedding! This was truly wonderful news!
My mother even asked me when we could perform life release again. She wanted to participate too!
On the afternoon of April 7th, I burned 3 Little Houses for my father’s karmic creditors, and my elder sister-in-law in Canada (nighttime Beijing time) also burned 3 Little Houses for my father’s karmic creditors.
On the morning of April 8th, my husband and I released 17 fish for my father! In the afternoon, I called my mother, and another piece of great news came: “Your father was able to stand up this morning and could walk around the yard with the help of a walker!” I was truly thrilled! After hanging up the phone, I immediately shared this uplifting news with my fellow practitioner! She was also overjoyed for us!
On the afternoon of April 9th, my mother told me: “Your father didn’t want to sleep this afternoon (he used to only eat and sleep, and it was impossible to wake him up), and he sat in a chair watching TV.” This was something that was impossible before! My father hadn’t been able to focus on TV programs for a long time! For us, this was another piece of great news! Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva for the blessings bestowed upon my father and our entire family!
On April 14th, when my father woke up in the morning, he said to the recitation device, “I want to listen to songs.” My mother was very surprised. My father could speak clearly again, which he hadn’t been able to do for a long time. I think this may be Guan Yin Bodhisattva guiding my father to listen to the Dharma.
On April 18th, as my father was maneuvering with a wheelchair, I played a video of Master’s Dharma lecture on my phone for him to watch. He widened his eyes and focused intently on Master. We continued walking as we listened. Later, my mother exclaimed, “Look, your father can lift his feet now. It’s not like before when he couldn’t lift his feet and had to shuffle.” I observed, confirming her observation. Then, my father confidently lifted his feet onto a step in front of the door. It was truly miraculous, surpassing our expectations, to witness the profound blessing power of Master’s Dharma Conference lecture video! Gratitude to Master!
On the afternoon of April 22nd, my nephew sent me another video of my father walking independently with a walker, and he walked steadily in the video. That evening, my father took a steamed bun and finished it by himself in no time. He even wanted to hold a bowl to eat, but he couldn’t quite get it to his mouth. After dinner, my father spoke, “Is that a book?” We were all excited. Could my father want to read Buddhism in Plain Terms? Compassionate Master has come to my father’s rescue again!
On the evening of April 26th, my mother excitedly video-called me and exclaimed, “Look, your father is holding a bowl, using chopsticks, and eating noodles all by himself!” I was so moved that tears almost welled up in my eyes! Gratitude to the compassion of the Bodhisattva! Gratitude to the compassion of Master!
My elder sister-in-law and I persistently recite the Heart Sutra for my father every day, burn Little Houses weekly, make time for life release, and often let my father listen to Master’s recordings and watch Master Lu’s videos. I firmly believe that with the protection of the Bodhisattva and Master, my father’s complete recovery is just around the corner!
Master once enlightened us, “On the path of cultivation, focus on cultivating without worrying about the harvest!” As long as we sincerely cultivate, the Bodhisattva and Master will surely protect us and our family! Looking back, if it weren’t for the compassion and blessings of the Bodhisattva and Master, my father would not have progressed so rapidly and miraculously towards recovery!
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 benefactor and benevolent father 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 also seek for forgiveness from my fellow Buddhist practitioners! I, not my fellow Buddhist practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!
Buddhist practitioner: Zhang, Gratitude and Namaste!

学佛念经仅仅两个月，我神奇地庇荫患老年痴呆症的父亲走上康复之路
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！
感恩龙天护法菩萨！
感恩恩师！
感恩群里聆听我分享的师兄们！
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，希望我的分享能广结善缘广度有缘，我的业障自己背，不让聆听的兄的师兄们背。感恩菩萨，感恩师父，感恩大家！
我是一名初学者，2020年2月上中旬的某一天才接触到心灵法门，践行佛法才两个月。随着修学过程的深入，我那种与法门相见恨晚的感觉越来越强烈；同时我又感觉自己是多么的幸运，短短的两个月，不但改变了自己，还让全家人都受益！
学佛后明白了好多的道理，反观自己不管是做人，做事各个方面都需要好好学习，努力改变自己。我要努力精进地修心修行，要不断地进步，不断地提升自己的境界，以后要争取达到佛菩萨的境界！
今天我分享的主题是：学佛念经仅仅两个月，我神奇地庇荫患老年痴呆症的父亲走上康复之路
我老父亲今年84岁了，患有阿尔兹海默症（老年痴呆症）。从2012年开始，父亲脾气变坏，记忆力逐渐衰退，我们异常苦恼。
最近一年多的时间，父亲的症状更严重了，不认识家人，不知道自己是谁，大部分时间都在睡觉，清醒的时候也总是一副愁眉苦脸木纳的样子。虽然父亲每天吃很多药，也不怎么见效，并且病情还在不断加重。为此，我们做子女的还有我妈妈都很痛苦。
两三周前，我把父亲的情况告诉了一位师兄，师兄教我们可以让我父亲听百人合唱《大悲咒》，24小时不间断轻声播放；再结合我和嫂子给父亲念《心经》做功课，求观世音菩萨保佑父亲开智慧，心情平静，增强记忆力。
我们照着做了！听《大悲咒》的第二天，父亲就自主排出了大便。妈妈特别高兴，因为父亲已经 8天没有排便了。
第三天，父亲又顺畅的排出了大便！我们全家人都很高兴！
又过了几天，神奇的事情再次发生。哥哥喊父亲，并问他姓什么，叫什么，父亲居然对答如流！我们全家人喜出望外，激动不已。父亲已经很久没有开口说话了。
很快地，父亲的面容也变得祥和了，往日的愁眉苦脸消失地无影无踪！
我和嫂子当即决定：马上给父亲的要经者念经文组合，去放生！
4月6日上午，我代父亲刚刚放了10条鱼，奇迹又发生了。父亲在床上翻身时，妈妈问：“是想解小便吗? ” 父亲竟然奇迹般地回答道：“不是，解大便”（都是说的土话）。之前，父亲已经有许久不会表达自己的想法了！
更加法喜的是，当天下午我妈妈就主动拿起经书看经文介绍，并对照着经文一口气念了三遍《大悲咒》，念完《大悲咒》妈妈说：我一点也不觉得累，感觉头脑很清醒！感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨！
4月7日上午，妈妈告诉我父亲又正常地解了大小便，并且没有弄脏被褥！这真是天大的喜讯啊！
我妈妈还主动问我什么时候可以放生？她也要去放生！
4月7号下午，我给爸爸的要经者烧送了3张小房子，我嫂子在加拿大（北京时间的夜里）为我爸爸的要经者也烧送了3张小房子。8号上午，我和我家先生一起为我爸爸放了17条鱼！下午，我给妈妈打电话，结果，又有大喜讯传来：“你爸爸今天上午能站起来，在院子里可以推着车子走了！”我真的是激动万分！放下电话，就把这令人振奋的好消息告诉了师兄！她也是无比的为我们高兴！
4月9号下午，我妈妈告诉我：“你爸爸今天下午不愿意睡觉了（以前都是除了吃饭就是睡觉，喊都喊不醒），并坐在椅子上看起电视来了”。这在以前也是不可能的事情！爸爸已很久都不能专注地看电视节目了！对于我们来讲，这又是一件天大的喜讯！！感恩大慈大悲观世音菩萨给予我爸爸和我们全家的恩惠！
4月14日，父亲早上起床时，对着唱佛机说：“我要听歌”。妈妈很惊喜，父亲居然能清晰地说话了，他已经许久都没说话了。我想这也许是观世音菩萨在指点父亲听闻佛法。
4月18日，在父亲推轮椅走路时，我用手机打开师父法会视频给父亲看，父亲瞪大了眼睛很专注地看着师父。我们边走边听。之后妈妈说：“你看你爸爸的脚能抬起来了，不像之前脚抬不起来踢着走”。我一看还真是，接下来，父亲又抬高脚上了门前一个台阶。这真的是太神奇了，万万没想到师父法会视频的加持力如此之大！感恩师父！
4月22下午，我的侄子又给我发来了父亲独立推车行走的视频，视频中的父亲走得很稳。当天晚上，父亲拿一个馒头，不一会儿竟然自己吃光了，而且还想端碗吃饭，但还是有点送不到嘴里。吃过饭，父亲开口说话了：“那是不是书？”我们都很激动，难道父亲是想看《白话佛法》？！慈爱的师父又救父亲来了！
4月26日的晚上，妈妈激动地给我打来视频电话说：“你看，你爸爸自己端着碗，手拿筷子，大口大口地吃面条呢！”我当时真是激动得要流出眼泪来了！感恩菩萨的慈悲！感恩师父的慈悲！
我和我嫂子每天坚持给父亲念《心经》，每周烧送经文组合，抽空就去放生，平时多给父亲听师父的录音，看师父的视频。我坚信有菩萨妈妈和师父护佑父亲完全康复指日可待！
师父说过“修行路上只管耕耘，不问收获”！只要我们真修实修，菩萨妈妈一定会护佑我们和家人的！一路走来若不是菩萨和师父的慈悲加持，父亲不会如此快速而神奇地一步步走向康复！
再次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！
如果分享中有不如理不如法的地方，请大慈大悲观世音菩萨及诸佛菩萨、龙天护法、师父和师兄们慈悲原谅。我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背！
