Health is the most fundamental need for everyone. We are all searching for a simple yet effective way to achieve health and escape the suffering of illness. I am no exception. For the past 20 years, I have been tormented by various illnesses and allergies. The Great Treasury Meditation Tantric Practice not only freed me from the pain of illness but also allowed me to experience a different kind of life.
I first met my guru in the spring of 2006, when my health was not very good. He asked if I was interested in learning the Mahayana meditation practices. I replied that I would be willing to try if it helped with my allergies, but as a Christian, I would not convert to Buddhism. My guru smiled and told me that this was a non-religious course.
At the time, I wondered how the Great Tibetan Meditation could help me cure my hay fever, MSG allergy, and headaches. With a skeptical attitude, I began to study the Great Tibetan Meditation Tantra, which became a major turning point in my life.
I suffered from hay fever for 15-17 years. Surprisingly, after practicing the Mahayana meditation and tantric methods every day for more than a year, I suddenly realized one day that I had not suffered from hay fever for a long time.
Furthermore, eighteen years ago, I experienced severe knee pain that made walking extremely difficult. I spent two years undergoing examinations and diagnoses at Western medical institutions, including blood tests and X-rays, but the cause remained elusive. This redness, swelling, and pain would radiate from my knee to any joint, from my shoulder down to my toes, and I was also unable to move freely. This was very similar to the symptoms of gout, sometimes even making it impossible to drive or walk. I only managed to control my condition slightly by resorting to traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, along with restricting my intake of purine-containing foods. Several years later, while discussing my condition with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I unexpectedly discovered the cause—a MSG allergy.
I was very happy at the time, but it was still very difficult to avoid consuming MSG, as it is used in almost all Asian and American cuisines. Although traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture could control the MSG allergy, it required a course of treatment of 5 to 10 days to truly control the condition. I am very grateful that the MSG allergy stopped recurring after I practiced the Mahayana Chan meditation for two years, relieving me of the suffering.
Because I work with computers, I often suffer from headaches and migraines after a stressful day at work, almost every week. The first time I practiced the Heart-Center Meditation Method, I had a headache, and when the CD played, my head felt like it was about to explode. I remember that after driving home from the temple and resting for a while, the headache disappeared, and I felt incredibly light all over. It was the first time I had ever felt headache-free. Since then, I have diligently practiced the Great Treasury of Meditation and practices every day, and the headaches have never recurred.
I have many real experiences from practicing the Meditation, and I sincerely hope that my personal experiences can help and encourage everyone to enter the door of meditation and esoteric practices.
