Isabelle...{{{{hugs}}}}}...Take care. Will pray for your son! Thanks Jolyon for advice! My experience is that timing is very important when it comes to getting familiar with a sutra. When I was pregnant with my no 3 in 2009, my friend asked me to recite 地藏经。At that moment, I could not...

Dear Pooja, I agree with you.I also felt very sad...felt like crying after reading the stories. While you grieve,you must remembeo embark on the healing process.

Hi Jolyon, Thanks for giving me the motivation and endorsement to continue doing whatever I am doing. Although I am not trained but I like looking at 紫微斗数。I don't really known how to look in depth(流年/对宫）, I think I know how to look at the different 宫 and look at the 主星 and briefly...

so sorry to hear that. Be strong and recuperate well to move on. I empathise with you.

Hi Jolyon, 谢谢指点！阿弥陀佛！ I just want to share this. I believe in 胎教。For every pregnancy of mine, I chant 大悲咒 and 观世音菩萨佛号. I also chant om mani padme hom and 孔雀名王咒. I realised that my children take to buddhism very easily. They are able to 礼佛 from young and able to remember 心经 and other chants...

You can just walk into any temple e.g 居士林,光明山 office and tell them you want to 施药,印经,they will help you do the necessary.For 放生,I either join an organisation like 生命协会,or some privately organised trips to go out to sea to 放生.Sometimes I go to bird shop to buy a few birds, go to a big field and...

I just want to share my own experiences with 念佛 and 回向。I had a miscarriage in 2003 and was devastated. I was not religious then but was at such a loss, I delved into buddhism and started to chant and dedicate merits. I got pregnant 3 months later upon my first try. It was not a smooth pregnancy...
