An inauspicious person???
Although I was born in a well-income family, childhood education was strict, and also developed a habit of thrift and savings.
When I was in primary 5, my family members were admitted to the hospital one by one and I quickly learnt and became independent. Few years later, my family members gradually returned to normal. However, in these decades I have a felt of “I am an inauspicious person. . .”
At the age of nine, I almost lost my mother because of cancer. During her treatment, she began to teach me like an adult, so, I learnt about the world at my early age, and from junior high school I started having part-time job. I was also responsible for the fees for studying in the UK.
When I returned to Hong Kong and started to work, my family had moved to a new flat. However, due to my father was unemployed, I took out all my savings and salary for returning the mortgage loan for the new flat.
However, my mother got cancer again and had metastasis to everywhere when I was 28, she soon left us within half year, sadly. I was so regret that I did not traveled with her that I had promised after her retirement.
It took me 10 years to let go of this pain. It was like losing a lot of things in those years. I put even all my time and energy at work after my mon’s left. At the age of 30, I had already become the manager of the Asia Pacific region of the international company. My believe was success in my work was equal to everything. However, I lost a lot of time being with my family and friends, and my health. And my life seemed to be broken just like puzzles pieces dropped and lost ...
At my 38, I got serious sickness due to the stress from work, and although my body recovered two years later, schizophrenia and depression began silently.
I was a guy who was originally full of confidence suddenly stepped into no way of returning with negative energy and always questioning myself: “Is it true that my life has finished?”
Due to there was a big contrast with my own character comparing to the ‘old mine’, the mental illness was so severe that it had affected my work. My nervous feeling, depression and insomnia had deteriorated and later, I had lost my job. Due to my belief in work life is my everything, so I felt my life seemed had fallen to the bottom.
Last year, I finally met a clinical psychiatrist and started to take drugs in order to control the mental status .
My story is about to begin. . .
Pratitya-samutpada
In my live so far, it seems billion of jigsaw puzzles pieces passed through, but I never picked one up or even can’t see them, until January this year.
Talked to my fellow, I discovered series of happenings: after leaving the hospital, back to restaurant to work and met my fellows Tenzin & Dorje; after Chinese New Year making vegan new year food, got a Buddha necklace as a gift from the chef partner; start to recite Yamataka mantra, got high fever; continued to recite Yamataka mantra, my left leg pain killed; first time participation in animal liberation in my life... Series of happenings with linkages followed by receiving jigsaw puzzle piece by piece from different people. I started to collect pieces of glowing puzzle.
Yamataka Mantra
is truly a panacea
When I was wondering that there were so many coincidences, I received the One hundred thousand Buddhas confession sent by fellow Dorje and read it once. I had got high fever that night and missed the animal liberation the next day. Fellow Dorje then sent me Yamataka mantra. I began to read, listen to Guru’s mp3 and I successfully participated in the release two weeks later.
After the first time I had participated the animal liberation by the Light of Aryasiddhi, I felt relaxed. And I also met another fellow Tenzin who was a guest of mine once. After detailed explanations, I joined the release group and began to recite the Yamataka mantra and reporting the numbers on a daily basis.
I clearly remembered that I completed reciting the mantra with 108 times on the first day, the next day 540 times, the third day 1080 times. . . The miracle happened on the second night. When the third 108-time recited, my body warmed up, especially the painful part including left foot and neck and shoulders which with 20 years history. There was no pain at all on that night and no painkillers drugs were needed anymore for the first time.
It's amazing, and after that, I completely believe in the Yamataka mantra and recite at least 540 times a day. I believe that the Guru's blessings and I always feel that the Guru is by my side. No more painkillers have been eaten, and the Yamataka Mantra is truly a panacea. Thank you The Guru and my fellows!
By linking pieces of puzzle together
Before participation in the animal liberation , due to the work, this year we began to make vegan Chinese New Year food. When making the dishes, I met a new partner chef. During the chat, she knew that I had severe schizophrenia, depression, insomnia, and multiple pains, I had to use drugs for long-term control. She asked if I had any religion believed in. I said no, but did not resist.
After the Chinese New Year, I received a Buddha necklace from her. It was just used as a counting tool for me to recite the Yamataka mantra right after my fellow suggested me to recite. This is another piece of glowing puzzle that I received.
Decision to rely on the Guru
Within few weeks, I wholeheartedly felt that the blessings from the Guru are everywhere and I felt that the Guru had given me many unbelievable good things that I had never thought in my life.
While sharing the goodness with my two fellows, they encouraged me to rely on the Guru. At that moment, there was only one question in my heart : “What qualifications do I have?” When I thought this and felt that I had got many sins : “How can I become a disciple of the Guru?” Such a good thing scared a guy who have suffered many setbacks and cannot believe that good thing will happen .

But beliefs have emerged. I thought: “I believe that I have special linkage with the Guru, but how can I return the kindness from the Guru ?” My fellow advised that “as long as we practice well the Dharma that is as important as the Guru’s heart, it is the best return to the Guru.” Thereafter, as long as the Guru gives us, whatever it is, I just believe in it and I will do it. My respectful Guru, you already become my only source of strength for my confidence, trust and belief.
The confusion of The One Hundred Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva
This is a challenge for a person with a very poor Chinese language to read & recite 100 words. While non-stop listening to the Guru's voice, I translated it into English and followed him for over thousand times to remember. My work sometimes runs from morning to late night. There is definitely possibilities for me to recite even less than 10 times per day, and sometimes I have got to work for the entire week, so I try my best to spend all my leisure time on read and recite the mantra. And finally, I can recite it any time, during transportation, at the market, and even when cooking . . .
Yamataka Chopa
On 11 March, I joined the first Yamataka Chopa in HongKong, very special and the scene had given me a comfortable feeling. Thank you for the leading from fellow especially by fellow Julia.
However, I feel nervous again in the process of reading mantras, because I was unable to keep up with the peace. So, I had to look around at other fellows. The two fellows on my both sides pointed out where and which paragraph we are going and really thanks and appreciate to them.
Decided to start
preliminary practice
On April 23, with the continuation encouragement from my fellows, I decided to start preliminary practice .These 6 steps practices and studies are not easy by just looking at the requirements 111111 times of repetition of each step for the practice.
Moreover, it is not simple to do it with heart. I must be with perseverance, with daily practice and cannot give up; when converting the number of times of practice into time, it could be fast or slow, if it is slow, it will be expressed in years. However, for myself, this is a rebirth of life and a new beginning.
Practicing is from heart inside out same as Bodhicitta, from the good heart to the sentient beings to the bodhicitta, from thinking to taking actions, this is my understanding. Keep on changing, until I really have the bodhicitta, to make my life of jigsaw puzzle complete, to became Dzogchen.
The feelings of a beginner
Today is the fifth day of preliminary practice. I would like to share my feelings. When I kowtow each time, in addition to counting the number, I have to put everything down. At first, I could put down happy, unhappy, and affectionate. When I do not have enough strength and pain, I will pray for Guru's blessing. As soon as I thought about it, I felt strongly that the guru is in front of me to support me and relieve my pain.
Especially on the second and fourth night, it was already 10 o’clock, I immediately fought for time to kowtow and have to study and recite the night homework, it was so great that it was just 12 o’clock when I finished. At the beginning my body was not get used to the practice and now I can achieve my daily target.
Bodhicitta & Sense of mission
I feel that the animal life being ceased is very inhuman & poor when I see them in the market. And when seeing people bite mouthful of meat , I will be horrified.
I can feel I have increased a bit more Bodhicitta, and with a bit of improvement in the practicing in just a short period of time.
Although I had only just begun and there is still far from become dzogchen, but I know the Guru will nonstop keep blessing on me, then, I will feel full of energy.
I also feel the sense of mission, feeling that the Guru want me to promote vegan. With Bodhicitta to promote, but I still think I need to practice my own Bodhicitta before teaching others.
Rely on Buddha
Finally I had joined the group of Rely to Buddha, for a perfectionist, once received Avalokitesvara mantra by Guru, I finished reciting 10 thousand times within 24 hours with excitement and wait quietly for the special day coming.
Day of rely has been fixed and coming closer and closer.
Nervous, because longing for going home;
Nervous, just like a lonely child have not seen his family for a long time;
Nervous, because the time fixed still need to work, heart beating up & down, even grab my thumb when closing the door. No matter what, I still think Guru will take care of it, so I let go the nervous, and use my best respectful way to welcome this solemn day.
Everything has been fixed and well planned, waiting quietly for the holiness moment, followed Guru’s video reciting:
Rely on Guru
Rely on Buddha
Rely on Dharma
Rely on Monk
Then followed Guru reciting the mantra, very moving, body became hot, tears drops while smiling because I know Guru is keeping on blessing me, I felt very complete and so thankful.
My body that keep vegan got high fever that night, second day got diarrhea, then leg pain. Guru’s blessings let me restart from the beginning, Dispel, detoxify, and compassion. I feel relax from inside out.
Thank you for my respectful Guru’s non stop blessings, from the day of rely on Buddha (1-May) another miracle happened. A continuous sleeping pills user stop using immediately on that night, and keep going for 2 weeks since then, luckily I can sleep naturally for 5 hours without any sleeping pill which I used to take them for only 4 hours sleep.
Borrowing previous sharing from my fellow with you
Human life is rare
and I got it
Dharma is difficult to hear
and I got it
If I do not take this life
with my body
How do you want to come
across this body?
Thank you respectful Guru and the fellows of Light of Aryasiddhi bring me home.
Once I become the disciple of my Guru, I will always be the disciple of my Guru, thank goodness.
Great thanks to My respectful Guru
His holiness
