I have had poor health since childhood, and in middle age, I underwent major gynecological surgery. In recent years, doctors have diagnosed me with heart problems such as angina, hypoxia, and ventricular insufficiency.
I often experience chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Sometimes, at night, I experience unbearable chest pain. The doctor prescribed some sublingual tablets and instructed me to take them immediately if I experience chest pain to prevent any unexpected events.
But because I didn't want to rely on medication for the rest of my life, and because the chest pain often occurred in the middle of the night, one day I asked my guru if there was any good way for me to not have to take so much medicine.
The master looked me in the eye and said, "Huijia, you must diligently practice the hand mudra meditation and the heart-center meditation; it will be of great help to you."
After listening to my guru's words, I began to learn the hand mudra meditation and the heart-center meditation. At first, I didn't feel anything. But because of my deep faith in my guru, I believed that if he said it would help me, it definitely would. After several months, I began to feel warmth in my palms. I continued to practice diligently and began to feel waves of warmth in my chest. This was truly auspicious, and I am sincerely grateful for my guru's compassionate teachings.
Now, this chest pain has improved a lot. Although I still feel a little uncomfortable occasionally, when the chest pain comes, I am not afraid at all. I silently recite the name of my guru in my heart and pray, "May the compassionate blessings of Yuandan Chenle Dorje Rinpoche be upon your disciple." Miraculously, the chest pain disappears in about a minute. Sometimes, the chest pain begins to ease and disappear as soon as I finish my prayer.
I often have to travel by plane, and every time I encounter turbulence, I pray to my guru for blessings to protect all the passengers on the plane. Every time I pray, I can feel a powerful blessing entering my whole body from above my head. As a result, my heart is free of fear and I feel at peace and warm.
I have benefited greatly from studying meditation with my guru, and I hope everyone will join me in learning. Wishing you all good health and happiness.
