Today, with an immense gratitude, I am here to share with you all an incredible efficacious event that happened to me after I practised Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.
In 2022, I am a college student of 19 years old, and I am a mixed-race descent of Chinese and German. In the spring, I began my studies in my college - Doshisha University. So far, I have been practising Citta Dharma for approximately a year and a half now.
Before I contacted Citta Dharma, I could never image that practising Buddhism and reciting scriptures would have been part of the daily life of a 19-year-old girl, like me.
In 2020, I met my boyfriend Xu, a Buddhism practitioner. He taught me to practice Citta Dharma. Later, I met his mother, Buddhism practitioner Wang, who deepened my understanding of Citta Dharma in theory. Since then, I started doing my assignments, reciting scriptures, reading Buddhism in Plain Terms, and reciting Little Houses.
After my mom noticed a series of changes in me, we three Buddhism practitioners (Xu, Wang, and I) cooperated together to spiritually awaken my mom Ms. Yin.
At the beginning, it was very challenging for me to recite the scriptures since I was not familiar with them. From time to time, I would feel physically exhausted. However, I was not intimidated by these difficulties. With time, when I became more and more familiar with the scriptures I can recite them fluently.
Back to the topic. After I practicing Citta Dharma for a while, I still did not conduct a systematic and regular Buddhism practices on a daily basis. Then, I faced the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU), which required me to take tests on a combination of literature and math in addition to Japanese. Among them, math is my weakness.
When fellow practitioner Wang found out about this, she helped me adjust my Buddhism homework and urged me to stick to it. I was very fortunate that after sticking to the daily recitation, I was able to understand and successfully solve all the math problems that I couldn't understand before. I was so grateful to the Bodhisattva.
However, the small success made me take a chance. I thought that if I could do the math, I could do it completely. Under the influence of this unhealthy thought, I gave up sticking to my daily Buddhism practices, which directly led to a less than satisfactory result on my next math test!
Frankly speaking, after experiencing this exam incident, I was very disappointed. However, at the same time, I also deeply understood what Master Lu had always enlightened us: rewarding is from cultivation, more rewarding comes from more cultivation, and no rewarding without cultivation.
I drew a lesson from this failure. Thus, I kept reciting my homework every day, and made a vow to recite 21 Little Houses to help my karmic creditors. I prayed Bodhisattva would bless me to be admitted to the university of my choice (Note: After a professional evaluation and detailed analysis, the teachers of the student enrollment office all agreed that there was almost no chance that any of the three top-ranked Japanese universities I preferred would consider admitting me.)
Just as what the teachers at the student enrollment office had predicted, my entrance application suffered a setback. I received rejection letters from two universities in a row, which made me anxious; but I surprisingly received an interview opportunity from the last one, Doshisha University, which gave me a light of hope. Hence, I made a vow again to recite 108 Little Houses.
I attended the interview with a lot of stress and anxiety. The interview process was very uneventful and the interviewer was obviously not satisfied with my performance......
After the interview, I broke down and called my mother in tears, saying, "I don't believe in Buddhism anymore! I had practiced Buddhism so hard, but why did I end up like this?”
My mother immediately stopped me from saying these words that were unreasonable and irrational, and charged me to deeply repent to the Bodhisattva for these oral karma I had just created. In retrospect, although she had practiced Buddhism for less than three months at that time, she was really wise.
She spoke very firmly: “You must trust Bodhisattva! It is not up to an admission officer to decide whether you will be accepted or not. It all depends on your thought and the Bodhisattva's blessing!”
Really, to enlighten others is to enlighten yourself (I transformed my mom from a sentient being to a Buddhism practitioner, and now she saved me from my puzzle)!
After my mom woke me up, I once again performed the five Golden Buddhism Practices of Citta Dharma: reciting at least 4 Little Houses a day in addition to my daily homework; going to Guan Yin Hall to repent; and making a vow to convince sentient beings to gain faith on Dharma and practice Buddhism. During that time, I also had transformed a mixed-race youth of my age to start reading the Buddhism in Plain Terms in English. Practitioners Wang and Yin were also helping me to liberate fish in China at the same time.
On November 25, 2021, the day of Thanksgiving Day, I received an admission notice from Doshisha University in the morning! Two days later, I received an scholarship letter from the university.
Through the above miraculous event, I sincerely hope readers can understand that everyone should practise Buddhism irrespective of age or nationality!
Practice Buddhism early, you benefit early!
No matter what happens in life, always believe in the Bodhisattva!
In the Age of Dharma Decline, we are fortunate enough to encounter such a wonderful Dharma Door. We must cherish it!
Practice the Golden Buddhism Practices: making vows, liberating life, reciting scriptures, repenting, and reading the Buddhism in Plain Terms!
Practice hard! Practice diligently!
Always be grateful! Repent often!
My deepest gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!
My deepest gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
My deepest gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time!
My deepest gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
My deepest gratitude to the selfless and altruistic Master Jun Hong Lu!
If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I’d like to seek forgiveness from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, and Master Jun Hong Lu.
I’d also like to seek forgiveness from my fellow Buddhist practitioners.
I, not my fellow practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!

感恩师兄们给我这次学习分享的机会，希望通过我今天的分享能帮助到群里的师兄学佛修心。我凡人肉胎法布施，请观世音菩萨慈悲保佑我今天为了度众生，学习观世音菩萨千手千眼现身说法。请观世音菩萨加持我，保佑我将这次法布施转为功德，能激励度化有缘众生，让更多的有缘众生学佛修心，在分享的过程中如有不如理不如法，请观世音菩萨慈悲原谅，请众位师兄慈悲原谅。我自己的业障自己背，不让群里的师兄们背。
今天怀着无比感恩的心，在这里与大家分享我修学心灵法门之后，发生在我身上的一件不可思议的灵验的事例。
我今年19岁，是中德混血儿。我是从美国来到日本留学的。我修学心灵法门至今已经有一年半的时间了。
在没有修学心灵法门之前，学佛念经这件事情是绝对不会列入我这个19岁少女的日常生活中。
2020年，我遇到男朋友徐师兄之后，他便度我修学心灵法门。而后，我又结识了他的妈妈王师兄，使我对XLFM有了更深入的了解，并且开始念诵功课，诵读《白话佛法》及念诵经文组合。
我妈妈在发现我一系列的变化后，我们仨又一起度了我妈妈尹师兄。
在我刚开始学佛时因为对经文的不熟悉，念起来非常的有挑战性。时常就会感觉到身体疲惫。
话归正题。在我修学XLFM一段时间后，面临日本留学考试，此次考试除了日语外还必须要参加文综及数学的考试。数学一直是我很薄弱的科目。当时的我还没有很系统且有规律的坚持每天念诵功课。
王师兄知道此事后，及时帮我调整了功课，并且督促我坚持。非常庆幸的是：在坚持每天念功课后，以前完全看不懂的数学题，竟然都能被我理解并成功解答出来了。真是太感恩菩萨了。
然而小小的成功，却让我抱有了侥幸心理。自认为数学会了就是会了，于是在这种恶念指使下，我没有再好好坚持认真的每天念诵功课，直接导致考试结果不太理想！
经历了此次考试事件后，说实话，我很失望，但同时也明白，台长一直开示的：自修自得，多修多得，不修不得。
我吸取了第一次考试失败的教训。我每天坚持念诵功课，并且许愿念诵21张经文组合给我自己的要经者。我希望求菩萨能够加持保佑我，能被心仪的大学所录取（注：升学机构的老师经过专业的评估以及详细的分析后都一致认为我所心仪的3所日本排名头部名校大学几乎都是没有可能会考虑录取我的）。
就如同升学机构的老师们预判的那样，我的升学经历确实遇到了挫折。接连收到了2所大学的拒绝信让我变得焦虑不安，好在我竟然收到了最后一所（同志社大学）的面试通知。于是我又再次许愿念诵108张经文组合。
顶着巨大的压力和不安我参加了面试。面试过程非常不顺利，面试官非常明显对我的回答不满意......
面试后我直接崩溃了，哭着打电话给我妈妈，说：我再也不信佛了！我明明已经那么努力了，为什么最后结果却是这样！
妈妈当即就制止我说这些不如理不如法的话，并且让我去向菩萨深深忏悔刚刚造下的这些口业。当时虽然她学佛还不到3个月，现在回想起来，她真的很有智慧。
她很坚定的告诉我说：你一定要相信菩萨！你能否被录取，不是一位招生官能决定的，一切都取决于你自己以及菩萨加持！
真的是度人就是度己！
在我妈妈点醒我之后，我重新运用心灵法门的5大法宝：在每天念诵功课的同时，每天至少念诵4张经文组合；到观音堂忏悔；许愿现身说法。这期间我还度了一位与我年龄相仿的混血儿让她开始读英文版的《白话佛法》。王师兄和尹师兄也同时在国内帮我坚持放生。
2021年11月25日，正值感恩节，早上我收到了我心意大学的录取通知书，过了2天，又收到了该校追加的奖学金。
通过以上一系列神奇的事例，我真心希望大家能明白，学佛不分年龄，不分国籍！
早学佛，早得益！
不管生活中发生什么，一定要相信菩萨！
在末法时期，我们有幸能遇到这么好的法门，一定要好好珍惜！
运用XLFM的5大法宝：许愿、放生、念经、忏悔、读《白话佛法》！
好好努力！加油精进！
多感恩！常忏悔！
以上分享如有任何不如理不如法的地方，
感恩南无释迦牟尼佛，
请观世音菩萨慈悲原谅，
请龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅,
请慈父恩师卢军宏台长慈悲原谅。
我自己的业障自己背，不让聆听的师兄们背。
