Pemphigoid

In early 1994, Practitioner Jiang called and told her that the husband of one of her former colleagues, Xiao Li, was suffering from a disease called pemphigus. He had blisters all over his body, pus flowing out, and itchy and unbearable. Neither Chinese nor Western medicine could treat it. It worked, and the handsome man had to wait at home to die. She sympathized with Xiao Li and wanted to take them to see the old monk Miaofa, but Xiao Li said that her husband’s body was so rotten due to the disease that he couldn’t go to other people’s homes, so she had to give up the idea. Unexpectedly, Xiao Li called again the next day and said that the blisters on her husband’s body had closed up and scabbed overnight. This was something that had never happened before. Maybe it was God’s will and it was his turn to heal. Bar. Practitioner Jiang asked me if the old monk Miaofa had left and if she could bring them here.

They came on the third night. At first glance, Xiao Li’s husband was about 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned, and good-looking. If he didn’t look sick, he could be said to be a talented person. As soon as the couple entered the door, they bowed to the Master and begged him for mercy. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Li was busy asking his husband why the sores had scabbed overnight and now his body didn’t itch at all, as if he was cured.

Master asked Xiao Li: “Have you ever gone to the temple to pray to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva?”

“Yes, that was half a year ago. When I saw that his illness could not be cured, I ran to the temple to seek help from Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. I also made a wish: If Guanshiyin Bodhisattva cures her illness, our whole family will believe in it. Buddha, kowtow to Buddha and Bodhisattva every day.”

“Your husband’s illness was not caused by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. It was the retribution he got for doing something wrong. Only by repenting and never doing it again can the illness be cured. The fact that he came here is indeed a reflection of your worshiping Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, which shows that you have deep roots of kindness.” I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha. Besides, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not eager to kowtow to you. In the future, it is the hope of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that they will truly recover from their illnesses and correct their evil deeds.”

Master changed his subject and asked Xiao Li’s husband: “Do you think what I said is right?”

“Yes, yes. Master is so right.”

Master said: “Before understanding Buddhism, everyone will do wrong things, even evil things. If you can repent of the evil things you have done before, maybe your illness will be cured.”

“I am the most loyal person. I have never done anything to deceive or harm others. I have done such things as getting into a fight and scolding someone before.”

Master said that he wanted to talk to him alone if he had something to say. Mr. Jiang took Xiao Li to his room to watch TV. The master asked him again, but he still said calmly that he had never done anything bad and let the master say whatever he wanted.

The old monk Miaofa sighed and said: “You are stubborn. For the sake of your wife praying for you, let me ask you something. When you were about twenty years old, you met a man who was half a head shorter than you, with an oval face and fair skin. A girl with two long braids? She once wore a top with blue background and white flowers, which you bought for her. Is this true?” Although the master asked in a slow and soft voice, he was not without authority.

Looking at this “patient”‘s face turned pale, she stared at Master Miao with fearful eyes and said, “She is a student who jumped in line and settled in with me. How do you know her?”

“What’s your relationship with her?”

“I was in love for a while.”

“No, you used deception, raped her, and finally abandoned her, right?” Master asked sternly.

The “patient” was shocked, knelt down in front of the master, and said nervously and quietly: “Master, please don’t let my wife know that I did love that girl, and then…”

“Later, several girls were raped by you. Before you got sick, you were still seducing other people’s wives, right?” Old Monk Miaofa looked serious.

At this time, the “sick man” was lying on the ground with his legs weak, kowtowing repeatedly, muttering: “I am guilty, I am guilty, and I will never dare to do it again.”

I was also shocked. It’s really a network of heaven and earth, with no omissions left out! Although he had not been punished by the national law for committing such a heinous crime, he was as frightened as if he had heard the death sentence, and seemed to have lost his soul. Master was like a judge, commanding: “Stand up first and sit back. Not only have you been an adulterer, you have also deceived your parents and betrayed your wife. You are unfaithful and unfilial. It can be said that you kill, steal and commit adultery. If you don’t change your ways, you will soon be dead.” His whole body will rot and die, and he will undoubtedly fall into hell after death.”

The “sick man” knelt down and kowtowed to the old monk Miaofa again. With tears in his eyes, he promised that he would never dare to do bad things again in the future. He also hoped to become a disciple of the old monk, change his mind and become a Buddhist. He begged the master to accept him. he. The master nodded gently and ordered him to stand up. He also asked me to call layman Jiang and Xiao Li over and explain the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds, and the principles of repentance and elimination of karma. The couple listened respectfully to the Master’s sermons, and they did not leave until the sunset, full of Dharma joy.

Later I heard that Xiao Li’s husband’s illness improved day by day after seeing Master, and he was cured soon. With his excellent tailoring skills, he became a technical director in a clothing factory. At present, the couple still chants sutras and chants Buddha’s name every day, no less than two hours a day. They are a happy Buddhist family.
