Baby Cultivator

11/6/2012

 
Question:

I started cultivating the Medicine Master Dharma door two months ago. I know very little about cultivation and wish to ask you a few questions to clarify my understanding:
​
1. In the morning, I recite the Medicine Master Buddha mantra. I stop reciting before it becomes
monotonous, so I won’t become bored with it the following day. Afterward, I recite Medicine Master Buddha’s name 108 times with the recitation beads and bow to the Buddha in repentance.

Selling Buddhism

9/15/2012

 
​Question:

NaMo Buddha.
​
Greetings to you, Master YongHua. I am also studying Buddhism. The Buddha came to our world out of his measureless kindness and compassion. He wants all of us to recognize and believe in ourselves and accept the law of cause of effect. How can there possibly be seeking and praying to spirits and ghosts to get responses [not clear from Vietnamese question].

Family obstructs Cultivation

7/16/2012

 
Question:

Na Mo Shakyamuni Buddha!

Ven. Master:
​
I became a newly minted Buddhist disciple a few months ago. My parents and husband are good people but do not believe in the Buddha. After I took refuge with the Triple Jewel, I started encountering obstructions from my family. My husband would often take issue about the Buddha with me.

Child owes Triple Jewel

7/12/2012

 
​Question:

Na mo Emituofo!

Ven. Master:

I am a Pure Land Buddhist practitioner. Yesterday, I met with another Buddhist who practices Secret School who gave me a pendant that has a silver globe with a long string with some kind of mantra, telling me that my young child (who is 2.5 years old) owes the Triple Jewel from past lives.

Medicine Master Buddha

2/27/2012

 
Question:

Dear Master,

How are you doing?
​
I’m reading your Medicine Master Sutra slowly, hoping to absorb your teachings at a deeper level. I planned to ask all my questions upon finishing the book but I already have so many, that I hope you don’t mind that I ask as I go along.

Criticized Vegetarian

12/30/2011

 
Question:

Master:

This is the first time I had access your web site. That’s why I asked the questions at the wrong places.

I’d like to know how to repay my karmic debts this lifetime so that I’ll be free and won’t have to repay in future lifetimes.

I prayed and decided to become vegetarian last September. I still cook non-vegetarian for my husband and children. I wonder when my karmic debts will be eradicated because my husband is very critical and is vehemently opposed to my new diet.

Stubborn Son

12/22/2011

 
Question:

Dear Master,

Thanks for answering my previous questions. After reading your response, I have more questions to ask:
​

1. What did the mother of the 5 year old child do to give blessings to him? How did she help him reach 2nd Dhyana?

Prayers for others

7/26/2011

 
Question:

Master,
​
In the Catholic tradition, we pray for everyone: for the newborn (so that he may grow in God’s goodness and protection), for newlyweds (that they may grow in love and support together in deeper love and devotion to Jesus Christ), for those who are sick (to become well or to cope with the eventualities), in need of spiritual guidance, for people’s souls when they have died (that they may be in eternal rest with Jesus), and so on. In the Buddhist tradition do we also pray to help those we care for? Will we have to pay for it later with bearing some affliction?

Too Little Too Late

4/3/2011

 
​Question:

Master,
​
I checked my records and 9/20/09 sent you an e-mail regarding my niece TB requesting a 6-month Lengthening Life plaque for her. I updated you in that e-mail regarding her health problems which began shortly after I had been in Ohio during her fathers’ last days of life in 4/07. She initially thought she was reacting to her fathers’ death. She was diagnosed with biliary duct cancer with 3 spots on her lungs.

Thyroid Help

3/21/2011

 
Question:

Interesting!!!

Remember the [30ish] girl I mentioned about at work? The fortunate one [from a well to do family]?
​
Her mom had thyroid disease (the one where the eyes bulge out) and the doctor told her she might lose her vision later in life. I just spoke with her today and she said her mom went back to Taiwan in July and the doctor said the thyroid problem is gone. I asked what has changed and she didn’t know the answer. When I asked the question I wasn’t thinking about anything.

Fear of Flying

3/13/2011

 
Question:

​My friend tells me not to fly because of his dream. He indicates things happen in his dream and they are not exactly good. He not only tells me but warns me of flying. He tells me his dreams come true and they often do. One time he told another friend he saw in his dream this friend and his girlfriend went on bike trip and they would have a baby soon after. Low and behold, a year or two later, this couple went on a bike trip and now the girlfriend is 4 months pregnant. So if his dreams hold, then I want to know if there’s other ways other than avoiding flying entirely. I love to travel at the same time I want to enjoy and not worry about flying. Your help is greatly appreciated.
