KARMA CHANGED THROUGH FAITH IN GOHONZON

KARMA CHANGED THROUGH FAITH IN GOHONZON

By Karen Heng, Singapore Soka Association SSA Honorary Zone leader.

  

Two years ago, before my conversion to True Buddhism. I have birth to my second daughter, Hilda. At both doctors found that she had a malformed left kidney. She was immediately operated on.

  

Things went well for a while until she was eight months old, when one night she has a high fever. This lasted for almost two weeks. Although we consulted several doctors and specialists her condition odd not improve. We finally decided to send her to the Singapore General Hospital. 

  

She was awarded immediately for examination. Detailed test were conducted; diagnosis - malignant blood cancer, called "Letterer Siwe Disease". On hearing the news, the whole world seems to fall on us. What was worst, she has to go through a liver biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

  

After the operation the doctors told us that her condition was incurable because the cancer has spread to the other organs. Her liver and spleen were three times the normal size. They pronounced that that she will live only a few months. 

  

It was a terrible shock for both my husband and I. A feeling of hopelessness overcame us. During this time we spend a lot of money consulting spiritual mediums and for the sake of my daughter, I took all sorts of regions worship. I even changed her name as suggested by a relative abd also foster her to a fiend but all these were of no avail. 

  

Every day after work, I would spend the evening in the ward till she was sleep and then rushed off to consult spiritual medium.

  

While I was in this hell like state my present district leader Mdm Lee Bee Eng came to tell me about the Gohonzon. She told me that my daughter's condition was due to my bad karma and only the Racine of True Buddhism would enable my family to change her destiny. She also related many benefits received by fellow members. She further explained why people had problems and how they could change their bad karma for the better.

  

I was deeply moved by her sincerity so I started chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo as I felt there was hope. After a few weeks of chanting, my daughter's condition improved as was soon discharged from the hospital but had to return for weekly treatment. 

  

The actual proof convinced me of the infinite power of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. So I gave up all other forms of worship and started doing Gongyo. Each morning I begin my morning prayers at 4.00 am and chanted 3 to 4 hours daily. 

  

As my daughter was given the "In-vein" treatment , the doctors has to pick an artery from her arm to inject the medication into her bloodstream. As my baby was on the plumb side, the doctors always has robles in locating the artery. So very often, after making bruises here and there, an artery on her forehead causing profuse bleeding.

  

I chanted desperately for wisdom to be bestowed on the doctors so that they would discover a less painful method of treatment. Less than one month, we were informed by the doctors that they carried out some research and found that my daughter could take oral treatment instead.

  

Hearing this, I could not hold back my tears of relief. I realized that through my foremost prayers my daughter's karmic retribution was been lessen. We are also changing poison into medicine."

  

From then on, I have been practicing whole- heartedly, introducing Buddhism to so many people and attending every discussion meeting. In less than a year, my daughter's condition improved so remarkably that the doctors found it unbelievable. In fact, they attempted to stop medication totally to see if could survive without drugs.

  

It had been one year since my daughter's treatment stopped. She is now a healthy and beautiful three year old girl. Recently I was told by her doctors that they had referred her case to the National University of Singapore NUH-Pediatrics for case study. Of course, they had yet to know that it is the power of Nam- Myoho-Renge-Kyo at work.

  

Looking back, I feel that I was very fortunate to have met the Gohonzon which has enabled me to lessen my bad karma. We enshrined the Gohonzon in May 1981. Seeing my actual proof, my husband and both my daughter also started to chant.

  

To show my appreciation, I am devoting myself to the happiness of others through various activities promoted by the Women's Division.

  

Truly, my daughter's recovery from what was certainly an incurable disease has shown to us the immense power of the Gohonzon and just as the 26th High Priest Nichikan Shonin says" No prayers will go answered, no sins unforgiven, all good fortune will be bestowed and all righteousness proven."
