Today, to save all sentient beings, I will learn from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to spread Dharma. I will convince sentient beings to practice Buddhism using my experiences. May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me and help me let all beings who listen or read my presentation will have faith in Dharma, and start practising Buddhism. 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, Dharma protectors, and Master Jun Hong Lu.
I started studying Buddhism at the end of April 2016, initially solely for the sake of my son. In early April 2016, my child was diagnosed with autistic developmental delay at the provincial children's hospital. Before heading to the hospital, he had been discouraged from kindergarten after staying there for 5 days. During those 5 days, he slept on the floor every day, not eating or drinking, and was locked in the miscellaneous room for lunch breaks. I was told this by a teacher when I did the withdrawal for him. In fact, my son was dissuaded from returning school. I can probably guess the reason in my heart because he has almost no communication with others. According to the old people in my family, the child opening his mouth late will grow up into a noble person (editor's note: This is self-comfort without solid proof). Coupled with the fact that I was busy in business, I never paid much attention to his problems. After he was diagnosed with autism in one hospital, we took him to the most reputable children's hospital in the city. This was for a double test. He was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism.
His intelligence was only 1.5 years old (editor's note: the child was 4 at this moment), with the comprehension of an 8-month-old baby. After 2 months of rehabilitation in the hospital, he did not make progress. He could not comprehend the most basic concepts of cats, dogs, rabbits and tigers. In May 2016, I traveled to the local temple to pray to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva, hoping She could save my child. After returning from the temple, I couldn't sleep all day long. I was a little depressed, couldn't think straight, and washed my face with tears every day. I argued with my husband because he didn't care about the child's condition. He said the big deal was to keep him as a pet for the rest of his life. But I didn't think so. As long as I wasn't at work, I started chanting the holy name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, reciting hundreds and thousands of times a day.
The child's specific symptoms at that time:
1. In terms of language, he can only call grandma.
2. Not sleeping, loud shouting, high energy level.
3. No response to eye contact, wandering; no response to name calling; no idea what his name is; not able to distinguish between male and female.
4. No sense of safety rules; running randomly once outside.
5. Stereotypical behavior; unwilling to wear new clothes and shoes; walking a fixed route, not accepting change; afraid of shaving hair, squatting on the toilet, and sounds of crying and firecrackers, etc.
6. Big temper; not coming home at night but going out in the middle of the night.
7. Talking to himself and liking laughing, as if being punctuated by others with laughing points.
8. Self-harming behavior, biting himself, and bumping his head against the wall.
9. Loving looking at wheels and things that turn in circles, such as fans, wheels, etc.; very hyperactive.
10. Picky at food and not like vegetables; asocial; unlike going to other people's homes; not allowing others to enter my homes.
11. Unable to perform gross and fine motor movements.
One late night, I looked up autism information on the Internet. By chance, I came across an article about the miraculous recovery of autism by Buddhism on a Buddhist practitioner’s blog. I was immediately fascinated and instantly left a message to the Buddhist, hoping to study Buddhism.
As soon as I started practicing Buddhism, I made 2 vows. I would be a vegetarian for the rest of my life. On the 1st and 15th days of each lunar month, I perform life liberation.
When the Little House was recited to >100 sheets for his karmic creditors, my son gained understanding. He could read picture books, distinguish similar vehicles, and talk more. The number of eating boogers and biting fingernails has also decreased. He sleeps better than before.
In October, I travelled to my fellow Buddhist practitioner’s home to ask for a Bodhisattva statue. On the way back, my son suddenly called out to me a few times, "Mom". This was the first time in >4 years that my child called me mom. I have been waiting for this "mom" for >4 years. I am so grateful that I cannot describe it in words. I am very, very grateful to Guan Yin Bodhisattva for bringing such a wonderful Dharma Door to earth.
On the night of Spring Festival Eve 2017, when I offered the Bodhisattva the first incense, I made a few vows. I will convince sentient beings to practice Buddhism using my experiences. I pray to the Bodhisattva to bless my child for entering kindergarten in 2017. I would release 1,000 fish for my child after the Spring Festival. Besides being a vegetarian, I would not kill beings. I would donate to print the Buddhist scriptures and distribute them to sentient beings for free. I would perform merits and virtues by donating money to charity. In the early morning of the Spring Festival, I dreamed that my child had climbed up from a deep mud puddle. He sat in a classroom with 2 very kind teachers interacting with him. When I woke up from the dream, I instantly realized Guan Yin Bodhisattva had blessed him. He would definitely be able to go to kindergarten.
On the 16th day of the Lunar New Year, he was smoothly enrolled in kindergarten as I dreamed. For my child to be emotionally stable in kindergarten, I specifically recited the Heart Sutra 49x2 times for him. This was in addition to the daily Heart Sutra recitation 49 times for him. I hope he doesn't cry in kindergarten. I made a vow to recite the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra 10,000 times specifically for him, hoping his ADHD would get better.
In August 2017, I fulfilled my vow and appeared at the Malaysian Dharma Convention to make a presentation. Just as I was about to finish my lecture, I turned around and saw Master Lu. Master Lu was standing at the back door with a smile listening to what I had said. At that moment, I saw compassion, kindness, and amiability in Master Lu's eyes. I was so excited when Master Lu came towards me. Master, you saved my child. Several times I wanted to turn around and hug You and cry to express my gratitude.
After I returned from the Convention, I still tried my best to recite the Buddhist scriptures, never daring to slake off. I actively helped my fellow practitioners set up Buddhist altars. I actively participated in various life-release activities. In addition, I propagated Dharma in my own way to save sentient beings.
It was not only my child who learned phonetics in 2018 in the older kindergarten class, but also addition and subtraction as well within 20. Importantly, his ADHD disappeared. The teacher said that he could sit peacefully in the classroom and will not run around the teacher and classroom anymore. He can participate in extracurricular activities at school.
His bad habits from his previous life became more evident as he talked more and more. I used to be anxious when he didn't talk, but I was angry every day when he did. There must have been deep grievances between him and me in our previous lives. He was incompatible with me, biting me, hitting me, being stubborn with me, urging me to die, "hurry up and die, die quickly," or telling me to shut up, and asking me to get out. One day, I was so angry that I cried out in front of the Buddhist altar. I couldn't tell my parents about my suffering. They were too old to help, and I was afraid they would annoy me if I did. I really don't want to recite Buddhist scripture to my child anymore. I am too tired. I get up at 4:30 morning and go to bed at 12:00 midnight. When I felt desperate enough, I committed suicide 4 times. I wanted to be run over by a car. I bought sleeping pills and rat poison and would like to die quickly.
After crying that night, I got to bed early. The next morning, I dreamed of the Master. I told Him about the child's condition in my dream. Master Lu kindly came toward me, looked at my child and said, "Come to the Dharma Convention. I will treat the child." The next day, I woke up from the dream and still felt incredible. Two or three days later, I suddenly received a notice to hold a Dharma Convention. To verify the truth of my dream, I determined to take my child to the Dharma Convention. At the convention, my child was honored to be blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattva: Master read his totem. I was deeply grateful to the Master that my dream was fulfilled. Buddha's teachings are true. Master Lu is my father, making me feel safer and warmer than I have ever felt before.
With the blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, my child successfully passed the first-grade interview in 2019 and entered a public school. In the 2nd grade, his intelligence grew to another level. He scored >80 points in language and mathematics in the winter vacation exam (editor’s note: 100 points for a full score). My family had a happy Lunar New Year.
In the 4th grade, my child began to do daily recitation of Buddhist scriptures. His language improved by leaps and bounds. His thoughts became active. He had no problem interacting, playing, and communicating with his classmates.
I'd like to share some of my experiences studying Buddhism in the following.
(1). Reciting the Buddhist scriptures and eliminating karmic obstacles are the most important.
(2). For children with serious illnesses, parents must make big vows. Big vows can make the child get blessings and make them recover faster.
(3). If possible, set up a Buddhist altar at home. Setting up a Buddhist altar has immense merits and virtues. You can get many blessings. Don't rush to get a result. Plowing without asking for a harvest. After sowing seeds, fertilize and water them. They need time to grow.
(4). Guard your body, speech and mind. Refrain from creating new karma. Removing greed, hatred and delusion is the key. Do not let the small merits and virtues you just accrue leak away.
(5). Purify the body and the mind honestly. Cultivate the spiritual existence, which can remain in this illusory world forever. Only by cultivating yourself like a Bodhisattva, can you behave like a Bodhisattva to save your child.
(6). So long as you are sincere in cultivating your mind, your prayers will be answered. If your thoughts are sincere, the Buddha will respond. According to this saying, we must believe that Buddha and Bodhisattva really exist. Only if you believe, can you be saved.
(7). Do not seek supernatural powers, dreams, and totem readings. Regardless of whether the dream hints or not, or the totem reading, we always use the Five Golden Buddhist Practices to eliminate karmic obstacles. We also recite Buddhist scripture to pay off karmic debts. There is no shortcut to take.
(8). Try hard to repent of karmic obstacles created in this life.

佛法救度自闭症患儿正常读书
感恩南无释迦牟尼佛！
感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！
感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨！
感恩龙天护法神菩萨！
感恩恩师慈父！
感恩大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨保佑我今天学习观世音菩萨千手千眼救度众生，今天我现身说法，请南无观世音菩萨慈悲给我加持，让所有有缘听闻我分享的师兄们都能够对佛法生起信心，能够学佛念经。感恩南无观世音菩萨慈悲，分享过程中有不如理不如法的地方，请大慈大悲观世音菩萨、护法神菩萨和师父慈悲原谅。
我是2016年4月底开始学佛，最初学佛是完全为了儿子。2016年4月初，孩子在省儿童医院被诊断为自闭症发育迟缓。在去医院之前，他刚读了幼儿园5天被劝退了。在这5天内孩子每天去了就是睡在地上，不吃不喝，午休被关在教室的杂物间。这个我也是办退学的时候一个老师告诉我的。其实儿子被劝退回来，我心里大概也能猜到了，因为他当时几乎没有语言。按照家里老年人的说法，孩子是贵人开口晚。加上做生意比较忙，我也一直没重视过孩子的问题。孩子被确诊后，家里人又带着孩子去了市里最好的儿童医院做检查，被确诊为中重度自闭症。
孩子的智力只有一岁半（编者按：这时的孩子实际年龄四岁），理解力八个月。在医院康复两个月后，孩子没有丝毫的进步，连最基本的猫、狗、兔子、老虎，也学不会，教了两个月，没有一点效果。2016年的5月份，我去本地的寺庙去求观世音菩萨，希望她能救救孩子。从寺庙回来后，我整天整天地睡不着，有些抑郁、想不通，天天以泪洗面。我跟先生吵架，因为他似乎不关心孩子的病情。他说大不了当宠物养一辈子。可是我不这样想，只要不上班，我就开始念观世音菩萨圣号，一天几百遍，几千遍地去念。
孩子当时的具体症状：
1. 语言方面只会叫奶奶。
2. 大喊大叫，不睡觉，精力旺盛。
3. 眼神对视没有反应，飘忽不定；呼叫名字没反应；不知道自己叫什么；分不清楚男女。
4. 没有安全规则意识，出门就跑。
5. 行为举止刻板；不愿意穿新衣服、新鞋子；走固定路线，不接受改变；不敢剃头发，不敢蹲马桶；害怕哭声，放炮声等。
6. 脾气大；晚上不回家，半夜要出门。
7. 自言自语、爱笑，像被别人点了笑穴一样。
8. 有自残行为，自己咬自己，头撞墙。
9. 爱看车轮子，会转圈的东西，比如风扇、车轮子等；非常多动。
10. 挑食、不吃菜；不合群，不愿意去别人家里；外人也不能进自己家门。
11. 大运动、精细动作都不行。
偶然间的一个深夜，我上网查自闭症资料，在一个师兄的博客里面看到了一篇关于佛法治疗自闭症神奇康复的文章。于是我立刻被深深吸引，当即就给这位师兄留言，希望能学佛。
开始学佛后，我便许愿终生吃全素，初一、十五去放生。
小房子念到100多张时，儿子开始有理解力了，会看绘本、各种相似的交通工具也可以辨别清楚、话多了起来。吃鼻屎、吃指甲的次数也有所减少，睡眠好了。
10月份我去师兄家里结缘菩萨像。回来的路上，孩子突然开口喊了我几声妈妈。这是四年来孩子第一次喊我妈妈。这一声“妈妈”我整整等了四年多，我心里的感激无法用语言来形容。我真的非常非常感恩观世音菩萨把这么好的心灵法门带到人间。
2017年年三十晚上我上头香许愿，希望菩萨保佑孩子在2017年能读幼儿园，我会去法会现身说法；过年前后为孩子放生1000条鱼；终生吃全素，不杀生，许愿助印经书全部免费结缘有缘人，许愿做功德财布施。初一凌晨我梦到了孩子在很深的泥潭里爬了上来，坐在教室里，有两个非常好的老师在跟他互动。梦醒后，我清楚地知道观世音菩萨加持孩子了，孩子一定能够上学。
正月十六孩子如梦中提示般顺利地进入到一所幼儿园读书。为了孩子能在幼儿园情绪稳定，我给他功课《心经》49遍外，会单独再念诵送两个49遍的《心经》，来保证孩子在幼儿园情绪稳定，不哭闹。我给他许愿单独念诵《往生咒》1万遍，希望孩子的多动症能好。
2017年8月份，我兑现承诺，在马来西亚法会上现身说法。就在我现身说法即将结束的时候，我回头看到了师父。师父面带微笑站在后门处听我分享。那一瞬间，我在师父眼里看到了慈悲、善良、和蔼可亲。师父朝我走来，我激动极了。师父，是您救了我的孩子呀，好几次我回头想抱着师父痛哭一场，来表达我的感激之情。
从法会回来后，我依然努力念经，从不敢松懈，并积极助缘师兄们设佛台，积极参加各种放生活动，努力用自己的方法去度众生。
2018年孩子在大班不仅学会了拼音、20以内的加减法，多动的症状也好了。老师说孩子可以安稳地坐在课堂上，不会再围着老师和教室乱跑了，学校举行的课外活动也会参加了。
孩子的话越来越多，但是前世带来的劣根性也是非常地严重。也可能是我跟他之间的冤结太深，以前他不开口我着急，他开口后我又天天生气。他跟我水火不容，咬我、打我、跟我犟嘴，让我去死，“赶紧死，快死啊”，或者就让我滚，让我闭嘴，让我出去。有一天，我被气得在佛台前大哭一场。我的苦不能给父母说，他们年纪大了，也帮不上忙，说了又怕他们烦我。我真的不想再给孩子念经了，我太累了。每天早晨四点半起床，晚上十二点睡觉，菩萨您原谅我吧，我受不了这样的日子了。为了他，没法工作，没办法探望父母，最绝望的时候，自杀过四次，想被车撞死，买安眠药、老鼠药，想吃了痛快地一死。
当晚哭完，我早早地睡了。次日凌晨，我梦到了师父，我把孩子的情况又在梦里给师父说了一遍。师父和蔼可亲地朝我走来，看了看我的孩子说：“来法会吧，我给孩子看看。”第二天，我从梦里醒来，还觉得不可思议。两三天以后，突然接到举行法会的通知。为了验证我的梦境真假，我果断地决定带孩子去了法会。在法会上，孩子很荣幸得到佛菩萨的加持。师父给孩子看了图腾。我真的太感恩师父了，我的梦境竟然兑现了。佛法真实不虚。师父就是我的父亲，让我感受到了从未有过的安全感和温暖。
2019年，在观世音菩萨的加持下孩子顺利地通过小学一年级面试，进入到普校开启了新生活。到了二年级的时候，孩子的智力又上了一个台阶，寒假考试语数都得了八十多分。一家人开开心心地过了个年。
四年级，孩子开始念功课，语言方面突飞猛进，思维变得活跃，跟同学互动、玩耍、交流，基本都没问题。
在这里我分享一下我学佛的一些心得体会。
第一，念经，消业障放在第一位。
第二，重病症的孩子，父母学佛一定要许大愿。大愿力可以让孩子得到加持，让他们进步得更快。
第三，有条件的师兄一定要设佛台，设佛台功德无量，可以得到很多加持；不要急着得到一个结果，只管耕耘不问收获，自己的种子播下去、施肥、浇灌，需要一个过程。
第四，守好身口意，不再造新业，去除贪瞋痴是关键，不要让自己刚刚累积的一点点功德再漏掉了。
第五，学佛修心，一定要内外真修，实修，借假修真，把自己修得像个菩萨，你才能像菩萨一样去拯救你的孩子。
第六，心诚则灵。人有诚心，佛有感应。这句话是实实在在地告诉我们，一定要相信真的有佛菩萨，只有你相信了，才能得到救度。
第七，不要追求神通，追求梦境，也不要追求没看图腾。不管梦境提示与否，或者是看图腾也罢，我们都是要实实在在地去运用“五大法宝”消业障，念经还债的，没有捷径可走。
第八，努力忏悔今生所造的业障。
