Inspirational Stories 088 We have to Uphold Our Promises

I would like to share with you one of my recent experiences regarding my practice of the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.
At about 8am one morning, I offered the morning incense to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva as usual. When I lit the incense, I suddenly felt my chest tighten up. I tried my best to kowtow to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva but I felt too uncomfortable. I could not even read any scriptures. I then lied on the couch and recited the Great Compassionate Mantra and Heart Sutra several times but I had to stop as I felt extremely unwell. I guessed I must have done something that was not in accord with the dharma. But at the time, I was too sick to recall anything. After a while, I knelt down in front of my altar and repented for my mistakes to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and I tried to recite the 88 Buddhas Great Repentance once. After that, I went back into the living room to recite some scriptures. I felt a bit better but I still felt unwell.
At around 12pm, I suddenly remembered an incident. Several days ago, my husband brought home some live scallops and I was not very pleased about it. I said to my daughter, “Your Dad brought live seafood home again”. My daughter said, “I will not eat any and thus, I am not going to commit any wrongdoings”. I replied, “We are a family. If other family members commit any wrongdoings, we are also responsible for them. I will have to recite scriptures to transfer merits to the live seafood that he is going to eat”.
For the past few days, I have used “I am busy” as an excuse for not reciting the scriptures for the live seafood. The uncomfortable feeling I experienced must have been the Dharma defenders reminding me of the promise that I had failed to keep. I immediately made a vow to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva that I would recite the Mantra of Rebirth in Pure Land 108 times for the seafood my husband consumed. I felt much better after I recited the Mantra of Rebirth in Pure Land 30 times and I was completely fine after I recited the scripture 108 times. After that, I recited the scripture another 21 times and I felt very energetic and was able to do some housework. I feel very grateful towards the Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
That day, around 3pm, I had a stomach ache and had severe diarrhoea until the next morning. In the morning, I felt weak but was relaxed. My husband told me that several days ago, my face looked very dark but now it was much healthier. I know that the Guan Yin Bodhisattva helped me to reduce a lot of my karmic debts.
Deepest gratitude to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and to the merciful Master Lu for leading us to such a wonderful Dharma Door with which we can use to solve a lot of our daily problems and to reduce our karmic debts. It is truly a wonderful dharma gem that has been granted to us by the Guan Yin Bodhisattva at the Age of Dharma Decline. I hope that all Dharma followers will be diligent in their practice and sincerely repent for all their sins.
