Learn Buddhism with your heart

My father has experienced hardships throughout his life. He often sighs, blames God for his unfairness, and lets him bear all the disasters.After the major operation, my father had an extremely strange personality and a very irritable temper. If he was not satisfied, he would curse, curse his relatives, and sometimes even commit violence.Seeing my father suffer from the dual torture of illness and mental torture, as a daughter, I was in great pain. Whenever I saw my mother crying secretly after being wronged, my heart was really bleeding. They are all my relatives! I can meet my father's needs in everything in material terms, but it cannot solve the substantial problem! I don't know how to make my father happy and how to make my father relieve the pain.

Later, I tried to talk to my dad and talk to him about Buddhism.But every time my father always disdains and says too much, he will be very annoyed, and then he will say, "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be any Buddha?" Whenever I hear this, my heart is like a knife. How can I help my father? When I read the "Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", the sutra says that Brahmin women made great vows to save their mother from the suffering of hell.Why can't I do it? Every time, I kneel in front of the Buddha statue and pray for the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Once, my father and I were the only one at home. We had a deep conversation, starting from the cause and effect of Buddhism, and talking about the hardships my father experienced in this life.That time, my father was surprisingly quiet, without any refutation, just listening quietly.Later, my husband heard from Master’s teaching that worshiping Buddha could cure illnesses, and then he taught his father to worship Buddha seriously.My father heard that worshiping Buddha can cure diseases. Although he was half-believing and half-doubted, he worshiped him seriously every day.My father is relatively bloated and has suffered injuries to his feet, so he feels very painful every time he bows down.However, my father has been persevering and his family is encouraging him.During that time, my father worshiped Buddha very quietly, and when he was alone, he was no longer impatient.

After three months of worshiping Buddha, my father had a routine blood sugar test. An incredible thing happened, which troubled my father's high blood sugar for more than five years. The results of that test were completely normal.When the nurse in the clinic told his father the test results, he couldn't believe it at all and kept saying that it was impossible. Because of his high blood sugar, he had been taking the medicine for five years. During these five years, his blood sugar level has been very high.Moreover, the results of multiple admissions were also determined to be hyperglycemia, so why did it suddenly become normal? The doctor advised my father to stop taking the medicine for three days first, and then measure it. The measurement results after three days are also normal.Stop taking the medication for one week and it is still normal to check again.Even the attending doctor of my father didn’t believe it very much. How could it be possible? It was completely normal to stop the medicine and take a follow-up examination after one month.

Dad has really recovered from his health, which is unexplainable in medicine, but a miracle has happened to Dad.I believe it was my father's sincerity in worshiping Buddha every day that moved Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.For a time, my father became a live advertisement, and everyone came to ask my father how to cure it. My father's answer was very simple, worship Buddha! What's more interesting is that once when my father was admitted to the hospital for a routine examination, the nurse registered. When asked about his father's belief, I was about to answer whether he was on his behalf, but my father answered on one side, believing in Buddhism! I was really ashamed at that time. I believed in Buddhism for so long, but I was not as pious as my father.Dad really puts the Buddha in his heart, believes in Buddha, worships Buddha, chants Buddha, and practices.

Nowadays, my father no longer often gets furious and loses his temper, but whenever he has time, he picks up the counter of chanting Buddha's name and chants the Buddha's name quietly.We have a Buddhist chanting group, and the number of fathers chanting Buddha's name is often the first in our group.

Today's father has changed from killing in the past to protecting in the current life.Once, the rice and grain at home attracted a lot of small moths, and my mother wanted to spray it with medicine, but she asked my father to stop it. My father said, let it go, it's life!

Today's father has been opposing our release of animals to supporting us now.Our family will release animals once a month, and those with money will contribute money and those with strength will contribute.In the past, no matter how I persuaded my father to participate, my father thought it was a waste of money. I was dragged away by us occasionally, and it was far away. But now, after we knew that we would actively participate and take the initiative to give us the money for release. Every time I saw the fish return to the river or the released fish jump out of the water, my father was as happy as a child.It is really hard to imagine that such a drastic change would happen to the father who was slandering the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha a year ago.

My mother used to burn incense every day, but under the guidance of her father, she has now changed to chanting Buddha's name every day.Although my mother is busy with housework, she starts to chant Buddha's name seriously as long as she has time, for fear of falling behind her father.After my father studied Buddhism, he changed our family, and his practice also changed me, making me understand that the key to practice is action, and also making me more convinced of Buddhism.
