HH Dorje Chang Buddha III’s Teaching Helped Me Understand Why Kind People Still Suffer from Illness

 

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has brought countless people the light of true Dharma, helping them understand the mysteries of karma, suffering, and liberation. My own journey of illness, despair, and eventual recovery deeply relates to this profound teaching. What I once could not understand—why I suffered despite being kind—was finally answered after respectfully listening to the Dharma discourses of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

My Life as a Kind and Compassionate Person

Ever since I was a child, I have considered myself a very kind person. I always looked at others with kind eyes, thought of others often, rarely quarreled with people, and cared deeply for small animals. I am also a Buddhist, frequently going to temples to burn incense and pay homage, and at home I enshrine the holy image of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva.

People say, “Good begets good, and evil begets evil.” I believed that since I was so kind, I would surely suffer few illnesses and live a happy life.

Why am I kind, yet still suffer from illness and torment?

Yet reality was not so. One morning in 2017, my neck suddenly could not turn, accompanied by persistent severe pain. After a hospital examination, I was told I had myofascitis. From that day forward, I embarked on a difficult battle against the demon of pain.

Endless Pain and Life’s Struggles

The pain did not ease with medication or plasters. Instead, it gradually spread—to my scalp, shoulders, arms, back, hips, thighs, and even the soles of my feet. Muscles became knotted and hardened into patches. It hurt whether I moved or not, awake or asleep. My range of movement became limited.

Living in such suffering, I felt worse than dead. Yet for the sake of life, I forced myself to work, putting on a smile before colleagues and leaders while enduring the pain. At home, I still had to care for my child, the household, and my family’s emotions. My world felt dark. I was so lost. Was I destined to suffer like this for the rest of my life? What should I do?

Seeking Support and Finding a Community

I began seeking out others like me, hoping for advice from those who had this illness. I found and joined a group on a social platform. What I encountered there was a chorus of wails—people long trapped in suffering and despair. Often, someone would say they couldn’t bear it anymore, that they wanted to end their life. I was deeply shaken. This group felt like a living hell.

These people were so pitiful, and so was I. Were we to live in pain forever? If so, what hope was left for the rest of my life? What would become of my family? No—I had to save myself. I had to recover. And not only for myself—I wanted to share my recovery experience to help these suffering patients, and even help those who might one day fall into the same illness.

Practicing Compassion and Life Release

I threw myself into study—anatomy, nutrition, rehabilitation stretching, massage methods, and various therapies. Gathering resources from home and abroad, I began practicing treatment methods on myself, even testing medicine on my own body. It felt as if I had taken on a mission, working not only for my own sake but for others as well. Every day in the group, I reported my experiences and encouraged everyone not to give up, to keep their faith. Gradually, more and more people trusted me. I gained many friends. We shared not only about illness, but also about life, work, joys, and sorrows. Slowly, the group no longer resembled a wailing hell.

I also began participating once or twice a month in large-scale animal releasing, dedicating all the merit to these suffering patients.

Encountering the Teachings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

I promoted the benefits of life release. Soon after, the karmic affinity for me to encounter the True Dharma matured. A Dharma brother introduced me to respectfully listen to the Dharma discourses of Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III. That day, as I listened, tears streamed down my face. At last, I had found the true Buddha Dharma. At last, I had found the path home.

Rapid Recovery and Sharing the Experience

With my continued practice, my body quickly improved. I encountered many positive karmic affinities, good doctors, and good medicine. I truly recovered—and the speed of my recovery was astonishing to other patients. Some had suffered for decades with no improvement, yet I recovered in just one year.....(please click on the following link for full article)
