My mother, aged 84 this year, has suffered from hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis for nearly 20 years, with complications of dementia for the past decade, progressively worsening each year. Initially, she would inexplicably cry, but later this developed into verbal abuse and accusations of theft, primarily directed at her daughter-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a physician, I diligently ensured my mother took her antihypertensive medications, traditional Chinese medicines for promoting blood circulation, and proprietary Chinese medicines daily, but the therapeutic effects were minimal. Facing dementia as a doctor left me equally helpless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn’t until I encountered the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door that I learned dementia is a spiritual ailment. This was a breakthrough\u2014I finally found a way to save my mother. I discovered a new method for fulfilling my filial piety. Therefore, my elder sister, my elder brother and I joined forces to recite Little Houses and release animals for the well-being of our mother. We collectively recited >220 Little Houses and released about 2,000 fish for her. I also recited the Heart Sutra<\/em> for my mother 21 times a day, praying for Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s compassionate blessings to enlighten her mind, keep her mentally clear, and prevent her from erupting in anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, during this period, my mother’s condition worsened, and her outbursts of verbal abuse became more severe and frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon analysis, I identified two main reasons: first, her karmic creditor was eager to collect debts; second, the daily recitations I had been performing for my mother included the Great Compassion Mantra<\/em> 21 times, the Heart Sutra<\/em> 4 times, and the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance<\/em> 5 times. I promptly adjusted the recitations to focus solely on the Heart Sutra<\/em> 21 times, discontinuing the Great Compassion Mantra<\/em> and the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance<\/em>. The Great Compassion Mantra<\/em> increased her energy, resulting in more intense outbursts, while reciting the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance<\/em> required a corresponding number of Little Houses to be recited. As I was simultaneously reciting Little Houses for multiple people, I couldn’t keep up with the required number, hence the temporary suspension of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I expedited the recitation of Little Houses, unwavering in our commitment. When I fulfilled the vow to recite the first batch of 49 Little Houses, my mother underwent a noticeable transformation: from May of this year until now, she has stopped verbally abusing others and no longer erupts in anger, able to engage in normal communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We vowed to continue our efforts, reciting Buddhist scriptures and releasing animals for our mother, ensuring we recite until her condition improves further, restoring her to complete normalcy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n — Lay Buddhist: Guo (Henan, China)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Posted: 2015-02-14<\/p>\n\n\n\n Translator: Frank<\/p>\n\n\n\n Published: 2024-05-03<\/p>\n\n\n\n Statement by translator<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The story was translated from Chinese into English by meaning, not word by word.
