疫劫中 生命的奇蹟

皓德佛堂 Niroj罹患新冠肺炎起死回生

首先，後學要感謝天恩師德、感謝老前人、前人大德、感謝邱點傳師慈悲指引我們朝向光明，及把大道的智慧引入尼泊爾。

檢測確診 症狀危急

尼泊爾第二波疫情期間，後學開始有嚴重的頭痛，血壓時常很高。在數天過後，後學開始發高燒(39度左右)，我懷疑自己是不是得了新冠肺炎？所以後學去做了聚合酶連鎖反應測試(PCR檢測)，令人震驚地檢測結果是陽性反應，確診新冠肺炎—這導致疫情大流行的致命病毒！測試過後，後學一日一日變得虛弱，無法行走，呼吸也越來越困難。什麼事都無法做，甚至於身體稍微動一下，就開始嚴重咳嗽。後學當時的健康狀況十分危急，咳血、發高燒、身體失去感覺。

感恩懺悔 集氣迴向

當邱點傳師獲知有關於後學確診的消息時，她說:「要感恩！試著向你的業障懺悔，然後發愿！」來自於不同國家的點傳師們，及很多資深前賢道親們開始為後學齊誦彌勒救苦真經，並將誦經功德迴向給後學。

慢性疾病 難逃死劫

在那期間後學住院兩次，情況非常嚴重，血氧含量一度掉到八十以下。在醫院時戴著氧氣罩，我的身體感覺非常不舒服，覺得好像後學離開人世的時候到了！因為後學早已耳聞新冠肺炎病毒對罹患糖尿病者影響最大，而當時後學每天都要服用糖尿病藥物及其他疾病的藥物。心想沒有希望了，這次可能無法逃過死劫！

躺在病床 心中祈禱

躺在醫院病床上的那些日子裡，後學對恩師濟公活佛說:「徒兒在累劫累世所造諸惡業，徒兒願意真誠懺悔，並做功德迴向給冤親大德。」在醫院裡頭，就在後學隔壁床的病人不幸過世了。見到這樣的事，後學內心更加害怕惶恐！

心愿未了 祈留人間

後學向恩師濟公活佛祈求及發愿：「老師！請不要這麼快就將徒兒帶走，徒兒仍然有好多愿未了(包括老母號召令所發下的愿)，徒兒仍然想要幫助皓德佛堂及邱點傳師。在2018年波卡拉壇主班，老師您透過三才對徒兒說:『在每一次的困難中，您老都會在徒兒的身旁牽著徒兒的手，帶著徒兒渡過重重難關！』老師，請您老慈悲，在此時此刻徒兒最徬徨無助的時候幫助徒兒！」

善愿療癒 奇蹟復原

藉由前賢齊力誦彌勒救苦真經迴向的力量，和後學的發愿及真誠懺悔，後學奇蹟似的逐漸好轉。醫生說：「你兩個月內可以痊癒。」 雖然我的血糖值仍然很高 (空腹超過450)，很幸運竟然於21天內就復原了！

真誠感恩 渡一切厄

這是天恩師德和前賢們為後學齊誦彌勒救苦真經功德迴向的力量，後學真誠懺悔及發愿的結果。希望我們大家一定要好好認真修道，切莫辜負恩師！時時保持正能量，因為正能量可以幫助我們找到內在的平靜及渡過困厄。天性裡的正能量將能讓我們不受病毒滲透侵蝕。希望我們大家一定要好好修回天真本性，不要再讓世俗的七情六慾所綑綁。感謝大家。

印度尼泊爾壇主愿立化解業力染疫過劫關

台北道場配德佛堂在印度開荒的單位，二位駐壇人員清口多年，最近Sriram回家鄉結婚，不幸確認染疫。另一位Sandhya住加爾各答，全家都確診。就在惶恐不安時，潘點傳師慈悲：「不要擔心，對上天要有信心，你們都是清口，有設家壇，又在公壇幫辦的人，上天要先讓你們染疫，藉機會消一些業障，然後很快的復原，後續你們才有免疫力去救其他人。」就這樣，在有如戰爭的疫情破口上，很快的，他們真的都安然復原了！Sandhya有清口，孩子也都吃素，在道場參辦，病情完全復癒。先生有求道，沒有吃素，現在還在治療中。

發愿誦懺速復原

隨著印度新冠肺炎疫情爆發，鄰國尼泊爾也帶受到影響，失控的疫情有如世界大戰。潘點傳師尼泊爾所屬的富德佛院系列，負責講師SanuKajiDango跟另一講師於去年十月間(2020.10)都在不知情的狀況下，經醫院檢測確認感染新冠病毒。兩位講師清口多年，設有家壇，且幫助點傳師操辦道務。染疫時，因症狀輕微，醫師請他們回家自行隔離，於是潘點傳師慈悲請他們住富德佛院隔離，一方面配合醫生的簡單藥物治療，一方面在佛堂誦經、懺悔、發愿，請求上天慈悲撥轉助化。不到一個星期，在天恩師德的護佑下，很快的完全康復。

平時積功化無常

老師慈悲說：「迷惑的人生，業力作主；覺悟的人生，愿力做主。」我們求道時，老師就已經幫我們在理天功德銀行，開了一本「功德簿」帳戶。功德簿平常就要存款，災劫來的時候，老師就有籌碼跟我們的業力談條件。功德大於業力，老師就能幫我們撥轉，大事化小，小事化無。功德簿如果沒存款，業力大於功德，那老師就沒有籌碼幫我們化解災難了。這個時候就會很為難老師了！要跟銀行「貸款」，還要看業力答不答應呢！

果報斤斤善功抵

所以，功德要做起來「囤」，不要讓業力追著跑。老師慈悲：「無邊業力今生匯，功過善惡爾莫虧，善之代替不善也，果報斤斤需認賠』。現今人心乖桀，喪失天良，生生累積萬般數不盡之業力，招致天災人禍頻頻。這次疫情劫關，是這一世紀人類的大噩夢。希望更多人快醒悟，戒殺、清口、設壇、發愿，幫助自己也幫助眾生一起過劫關。

Miracle in a Pandemic

Niroj’s Recovery from Covid-19 How Der Temple, Nepal Tao Center

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Grace of Heaven. Thanks to the virtue and compassion of Shi Zun, Shi Mu, Lao Qian Ren, and Qian Ren. Thanks to our respected Master Chiu for always guiding us toward the bright light and introducing the vast knowledge and wisdom of Tao to Nepal.

A Positive Test Yield Critical Symptoms

During the second wave of pandemic in Nepal, I started to get severe headaches and high blood pressure. After a few days, I got a high fever of 102-103 Fahrenheit. I got suspicious and took a PCR test. Shockingly, it was positive. I was infected with COVID-19: the deadly virus that is causing this pandemic. After the test, I got sicker by the day. I could not talk and breathing was getting hard. I could not do anything. If I shook my body even a little, I would cough severely. My health was in a critical state: blood in my coughs, high fever, and my body got more numb by the minute.

Gratitude and Repentance, Forwarding Amassed Merits

When the respected master heard news about my condition, she told me, "Be grateful. Try to repent to your spiritual creditors and take great vows.” The masters along with many seniors and Tao members from different countries started reciting Mi-Le Sutra on my behalf and forwarded the merit to me. 

Chronic Disease: An Underlying Factor for an Inescapable Calamity

During that time, I was hospitalized twice and was in a very serious condition. My oxygen level was very low. When I was in the hospital, I was on oxygen support because I was feeling so sick. I felt that was my moment to leave this earth because the virus affected diabetics and people with underlying diseases the most. Because I take daily medication for diabetes and other diseases, I felt like this was it—I would not be able to cross this hurdle.

Sick in Bed, but Praying from the Heart

During those days in the hospital bed, I told our Holy Teacher, Ji-Gong Living Buddha, "If I have some karmic debt from my previous lives, I would like to repent sincerely and pay forward some merits to them." When I saw the patient in the bed next to me had passed away, I became even more afraid.

Praying to Stay on Earth to Complete Unfulfilled Vows

I took an oath and said to Ji-Gong Living Buddha, "Oh Holy Teacher, please do not take me away so soon. I still have a lot of promises left to keep: the promises of the Holy Summon and heavenly duties. I still want to help How Der Temple and Master Chiu (because she doesn’t have an assistant). During the 2018’s Temple Host Class in Pokhara, you told me, through the Holy Medium, that you would be by my side through every hardship, and would hold my hands and guide me through every obstacle. So please help me."

Merciful Vows Heal the Body for a Miraculous Recovery

With the power of the Mi-Le Sutra, my vows, and my sincere repentance, the doctor said, “You will recover in two months.” Yet, my sugar level was very high (fasting level was over 450). Nevertheless, I fortunately recovered within 21 days.

True Gratitude Overcomes All Suffering

This is the result of the Grace of Heaven, the virtues of our Holy Teachers, seniors’ reciting of the Mi-Le Sutra for me, my repentance, and great vows. We must cultivate Tao and never disappoint our Holy Teacher. We should always have positive energy, as it will help us find inner peace and overcome obstacles. Positivity in our nature will make us impervious to negativity. We should cultivate our self-nature and let go of our earthly attachments. Thank You.

COVID-19 Infected Temple Hosts from India & Nepal Were Relieved from the Karmic Disasters By Making Holy Vows.

Pei De Temple of Taipei Tao Community are currently propagating Tao in India, two temple host both of them are lifelong vegetarian for years, one of Tao members brother Sriram was infected with COVID-19 while he went back to his hometown for his wedding. Unfortunately, the other member sister Sandhya who currently lives in Calcutta with her family was confirmed with COVID-19 along with her entire family members.
 
When the Tao members were in a state of panic, Tao Transmitting Master Pan mercifully said,“Don’t worry! Have faith in Heaven! You made the vow for being a lifelong pure vegetarian and you did establish a Family Temple in your home; besides you devote in helping out the Public Temple on a daily basis. Heaven had to make this special arrangement for you to get infected first, so you can be relieved from some of your negative karma. You will recover very soon, so you are immune to help other people.” 

Vows & Sutra Recitation Led to a Quick Recovery

At a time when there was an uncontrollable pandemic situation, these Tao members were quickly recovered. Sandhya already took the vow to be a lifelong pure vegetarian; her children are also pure vegetarians who often help out at the Temple as well. However, all of them completely recovered. As for her husband, fortunately received Tao, is still recovering, hopefully will soon take pure vegetarian diet like his family members. 

As the outbreak in India continues, the neighboring country, Nepal, is also severely affected. Trying to contain the out-of-control pandemic is like fighting a world war.The Nepali Tao members who are from Fu De Temple in Nepal which is under the leadership of Tao Transmitting Master Pan were also diagnose with COVID-19. One of the responsible lecturer, Sanu Kaji Dangol and another Tao lecturer infected with the virus after their primary corona test under unknown circumstances around Oct, 2020 last year. Both of the lecturers had already made the vow to become a lifelong pure vegetarian many years ago. They also had already set up a family temple. In addition, they have been helping Tao Transmitting Master in many temples and Tao affairs in Nepal.

Since their epidemic symptoms were slight, both of them were requested by doctor to take a self-quarantine at home. Therefore, Tao Transmitting Master Pan mercifully invited them to quarantine at Fu De Temple. Not only did they follow the doctor’s suggestion and took the prescribed medicine, they also recited sutras, repented and made holy vows. They prayed sincerely to Heaven for mercy to change the situation around. Under the protection of the grace of Heaven and the virtues of Holy Teachers, the two lecturers recovered very quickly in less than a week.

A Steady Accumulation of Merits Disperses Unpredictable Misfortunes

Holy Teacher, Ji-Gong Living Buddha, mercifully said,“The lost and confused are doomed by the force of their karma while the awakened are mastered by the force of their vows.” When we receive Tao, Holy Teacher had already opened a Heavenly Account for us in the Merit and Virtue Bank in Heaven.
 
The Heavenly Account will keep track of the merits and virtues we accumulate on earth. We need to accumulate merits and virtues on a daily basis. When disasters and calamities strike, Holy Teacher can use our account balances as a leverage to negotiate with our bad karma.
 
If we have enough merits and virtues, Holy Teacher can help us change the situation around by lessening the effect of the karmic disasters. However, if we do not have any merit and virtue, Holy Teacher would not be able to change the situation around because he wouldn’t have anything to bargain with our bad karma. We would then put Holy Teacher in a difficult position. Even if we want to “borrow” from the Merit and Virtue Bank, we have to get the consent from our bad karma. 

Kind Deeds Rid Karmic Debt

Therefore, it is important to accumulate as many merits and virtues as we can in times of safety, so we would not be chased by our karmic debtors.
 
Holy Teacher, Ji-Gong Living Buddha, mercifully said,
“Endless karma is to be met in this life. No one can escape the good and bad consequences and the merits and sins.
The good should replace the bad.
Karma is fair and will always deliver.”
 
Nowadays, people’s hearts have changed due to the deviation from one’s conscience. People have created lifetime after lifetime of bad karma which resulted in the occurrence of many natural and man-made disasters. This catastrophic pandemic is this century’s biggest nightmare. Hopefully, more people will soon be awakened by putting an end to killing living beings, making the vow to become a lifelong pure vegetarian, setting up temples, and making holy vows. This way they can help themselves and help other sentient beings to get through this calamity together.
