My gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharma Protectors and Master Jun Hong Lu.
Hello everyone.
My name is CMF. I came across Master Lu’s video on YouTube in 2014. At that time, I sincerely believed and had no doubt about Master Lu performing his totem reading. I had already started reciting scriptures and I would recite the Heart Sutra seven times every morning. Despite that, I felt that my method was inaccurate and always had a feeling that something was amiss with my recitation. Hence, I decided to give Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door a try. It wasn’t until July 2014 that I finally came into contact with Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and formally began my practice.
After practising for about half a year, I felt that there was a major change in my state of mind. I used to be very bad-tempered towards my family members, I was rather fierce, so they were all afraid of me, and no one could control me. Without realising it, my bad temper just disappeared, and I started to be more respectful towards my family whenever I spoke to them.
I became Master Lu’s disciple after practicing Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door for 1.5 years. A week before the discipleship ceremony, I dreamt about Master Lu approaching me with a vase. Later on, a fellow practitioner told me that perhaps my wish will be fulfilled after I become Master Lu’s disciple. Sure enough, my wish came true a week after the ceremony.
It never occurred to me that I had heavy karmic debts. I considered myself a kind-hearted person, and I never had any evil thoughts of harming or deceiving others. It was only after practicing Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door when I came to realise that fishing, consuming live seafood and sexual misconduct are all considered negative karma. In February 2016, I did a thorough full body medical examination. When I collected the results of the examination, I was advised by the doctor that I ran a risk of getting prostate gland cancer. After I learnt about this situation, I finally realised how heavy my karmic debts were. My gratitude to fellow practitioners in Singapore for having helped me to call through to Master Lu’s totem reading hotline on my behalf. Master Lu performed totem reading for me and told me that the ratio of my karmic debts was as high as 38% but he also said that my disease is not cancerous, which brought me great relief. However, when I learned that I had karmic debts of 38%, I made up my mind to eliminate my negative karma.
Firstly, I made a vow to become a full vegetarian. Before this, a fellow practitioner advised that I ought to make a vow to become a vegetarian after becoming Master Lu’s disciple, but I never took the advice seriously. As Master Lu always say to us, one will not cultivate well when one has not suffered. I also decided to visit the local practise centre every day to perform my recitations of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance. Altogether, there are 108 prostrations in every recitation of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance and I did all of that, five times every day as part of my daily recitations. During the first week, I had soreness all over my body as it took me about 15 minutes to complete each recitation. My thighs would hurt a lot and shook every time I performed a prostration and I spent slightly over an hour to complete all five recitations each day. Every time after I recited the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance, my legs would hurt so much that I had no means of walking at a fast pace, hence, I had to walk home very slowly all the way. I would tell myself that I cannot give up even if I feel the pain all over my body and as long as I persevere, it will become a habit eventually. The one incident which left me with the deepest impression was the feeling of a load, like a backpack, just slipped off my back when I got up on my feet after completing my recitations with full prostrations of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance.
Six weeks later, a miracle happened. I remembered it very clearly as I dreamt about Master Lu during the night before Singapore’s National Day on Wednesday 9 August. I had a feeling that I would get through to Master Lu’s totem reading hotline. It turned out that I got through only after 2 to 3 attempts. Master Lu told me that the ratio of my karmic debts had reduced to only 26%. In a short span of six weeks, my recitations along with performing full prostrations of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance had helped eliminate 12% of my karmic debts. My gratitude to the Bodhisattva and Master Lu.
Master Lu once mentioned in his discourse that we should not keep praying to the Bodhisattvas for things that are not meant to be ours, otherwise it will just increase our negative energies. Once again, I did not take Master Lu’s advice seriously since my karmic ratio had lessened. I adamantly prayed to the Bodhisattva in regards to a personal matter for a period of time. After a while, I had disgraceful dreams three times which would bring about karmic obstacles, but yet I did not take them to heart and continued praying for it. As a result, the skin on my feet became dry and started to crack and bleed. As soon as one toe healed, another toe will be infected, as if the skin disease was set in motion. A boil as big as a fifty-cent coin also grew on my back. Even then, I have yet to realise my mistake and continued with my prayer incessantly. Until the third and final time, another boil as big as a fifty-cent coin also grew on my head. I finally gave in and stopped my prayer for the matter because the boil which grew on the top of my head was pulling on my nerves and the pain felt as if something was pulling on the veins in my brain. The pain caused my inability to concentrate, sleep or perform my recitation of scriptures. My gratitude to the Bodhisattva for merely giving me a warning and not a severe punishment. After consulting the doctor, I was told that it was nothing major and all I needed to do was just apply the prescribed ointment to force the pus out from the boils. However, the side effect of applying the ointment on my head was a patch of permanent hair loss around where the boil grew. Hence, I decided to just shave my whole head. Other fellow practitioners who had no idea thought I had achieved enlightenment. Until one day, which coincided with Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s birthday on the 2nd day of the 9th Lunar month. I took a leave from work and went to the local practice centre to perform recitations with full prostrations of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance for 27 times. Two days later, another miracle happened. The skin issue on my feet and the boil on my back disappeared, and my hair on my head grew back too.
According to Master Lu, we should never pray adamantly for personal issues which are not meant to be ours. Reciting the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance with full prostrations is very beneficial because Master Lu once said that as long as one is sincerely repenting one’s mistake, it will help to eliminate a lot of their karmic obstacles.
Reciting the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance with full prostrations had enabled me to let go of many things and attachments and made me much happier. At the same time, I also feel that Guan Yin Bodhisattva has always been by our side, every thought that we have and perceive is immediately known to Guan Yin Bodhisattva. As long as we practice sincerely, Guan Yin Bodhisattva will guide us to the right path.
Thank you everyone. If there’s anything inappropriate during my sharing, may Guan Yin Bodhisattva and the Dharma Protectors please forgive me.
