The dialogue unfolds as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Hello, Master!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve been practicing Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door for 4 months. I was born in 1961, the Year of the Ox, and I have nasopharyngeal cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>Yes, it&#8217;s on the left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Yes, yes, exactly, it&#8217;s amazing, yes, it&#8217;s on the left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>I can see it clearly, and you have already undergone some treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Yes, I&#8217;ve had radiation and chemotherapy. But recently, the doctor in a hospital in Wuxi, China, said it wasn&#8217;t cured, while the professor in Guangzhou said it was cured. I&#8217;m very confused now. Is it cured or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>You can still go to Shanghai, Beijing, or even abroad for more opinions, go one by one&#8230;(<em>Note: Master Lu is enlightening her<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Ah?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>Without wisdom, there&#8217;s no way. You should learn from your fellow practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Okay. I&#8217;ve only been practicing Buddhism for 4 months, so I&#8217;m still not very clear about some things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>You should read my <em>Buddhism in Plain Terms <\/em>carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>I&#8217;m reading it. I read a&nbsp;chapter&nbsp;today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>Remember, with spiritual illnesses, one area heals, and another appears. It can&#8217;t be completely cured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Do you mean that it&#8217;s not cured and is still growing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>Spiritual illnesses can&#8217;t be cured. Do you understand that you have aborted children? (<em>Note: we cannot determine whether it is one child or more through this conversation, so we use plurals to refer the issue.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>Yes, yes, I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>The spirits&nbsp;(<em>aborted children\u2019<\/em><em>s souls<\/em>)&nbsp;are on you, and no treatment will work. You need to recite Buddhist scriptures to ascend the spirits. You&#8217;re not reciting enough Little Houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Female Listener: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve recited over a hundred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master Lu: <\/strong>That&#8217;s not enough. Also, you have karmic obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;zongshu2015021022:14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Translator: Frank<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published: 2024-05-25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statement by translator<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story was translated from Chinese into English by meaning, not word by word.
