AEG direct
AEG attorney Jessica Stebbins Bina is doing the direct examination.
Stacy Walker was the Associate Choreographer for the This Is It tour. She's a choreographer & director, has worked with MJ, Gaga, Britney Spears, Usher & others. Stacy Walker said she 1st worked w/ MJ in 96 on his movie, Ghosts, a job that she said was the break of her career.

"He never made a music video, only made movies," Walker said

On the "History" tour, Walker worked about 6 months. She was one of the two girl dancer in "The Way You Make Me Feel" :

"I feel it's my song"

History tour: dancers rehearsed by themselves in LA then went to France, rehearsed in a studio at Disneyland. MJ showed up one or two times. Walker didn't remember if MJ had a doctor on staff while on the History tour. She never saw any signs of drug abuse, saw MJ on stage -amazing!
Walker told the jury Travis Payne was the main choreographer for This Is It. She thinks she was an independent contractor hired by AEG. Walker said the casting of dancers began in April 2009. She was the associated choreographer, got direction from Payne/Ortega and Michael
Walker said for the This is It tour a lot of choreography was done many years ago. The only new one was "Drill" and everyone worked together. "Drill" was like a soldier marching dancing, Walker said.

"MJ said we can't use guns, since it was not good for the kids," Walker recalled

Walker said during rehearsals for This Is It in April/May 09, MJ was there occasionally, but they were teaching dancers the choreography
During rehearsals at the Forum, MJ was supposed to be there more often, Walker said. Payne worked w/ MJ, she was in charge of the dancers

Walker: "I can remember being frustrated at times, he (MJ) wasn't coming when we were hoping he would."
"I wasn't shocked he wasn't coming, I was irritated, but I wasn't shocked," Walker said, noting that maybe MJ wanted to stay with his kids

Walker said she never saw MJ sick. She said he seemed normal to her, he was much thinner, but she never felt he was acting intoxicated

"He looked much thinner to me than in 97"

She said, but she doesn't remember noticing a dramatic difference between April and June of 09.

Walker: "I remember 1 night he excused himself to his room, wasn't feeling well. He didn't say anything, it was a general understanding"

Walker remembered MJ wearing jackets/layers but didn't think of him being insanely cold:

"Different artists like different temperatures. He wore a lot of jackets, I assumed he was cold but he never said anything. I never saw him shivering. He just wore a lot of jackets"

She said she recalled one incident in which Jackson may have appeared groggy or drugged, but she said she couldn't remember whether she witnessed or heard about it from others on the show

Jessica Bina: "Did you ever see Michael Jackson drink any alcohol?" Walker: "No"
"My only concern was that he was really thin and I wish he ate more," Walker recalled

Walker got emotional when she said she wasn't looking for things that could be wrong w/ him at the time. "I wish I was," she said.
When she talked about his last two rehearsals, Walker cried saying he was great.

"He was great, I finally saw what I wanted to see. He was great, very bratty and sassy as he was. He was just a funny guy at times," Walker said

Walker said she called her mom after the rehearsal and asked her to buy a ticket for the opening and she did. "It was great." Walker said she was so encouraged she called her mother and asked her to buy a ticket for opening night in London and she did.

"It was great. I was very excited and relieved and hopeful", she testified

​

Bina:"Any doubts he could perform the tour?"
Walker: "Not after those two nights" (June 23 and 24)

She said despite Jackson missing multiple rehearsals, she was convinced based on his performances the last two days of his life that he was ready for the series of shows.
On June 25, Walker was rehearsing Michael's disappearing act. She said Payne called saying he heard on the radio MJ was in the hospital. Walker:

"I remember telling them don't worry, everything will be fine. I didn't believe, I thought that everything was going to be ok"

​

Bina: "When you heard Michael passed away, were you surprised?" Walker: "Yes, it was shocking, 12 hours ago he did "Beat It" and "Thriller" "

When asked if Walker was familiar with the name Dr. Conrad Murray, she said yes, but she never met him or knew who he was prior to June 25
Travis Payne had a loving, trusting relationship with MJ, Walker testified. Payne would go over to MJ's house around 1PM to work. Choreographer Travis Payne, she said, would often rehearse with Jackson in another room or at his rented mansion
Walker said she felt MJ was more open this time around. In Ghosts she said they didn't talk at all, but that he was so nice to everybody. Walker said she remembers telling MJ about McDonald's - he had never been and she told him he had to go
Regarding the This Is It tour, Walker doesn't know if MJ was excited.

"He always seemed happy, he liked to watch the dancers dance"

Walker said though MJ was the nicest person ever, they were not friends.

"Guarded is a strong word, he let people see Michael Jackson, not Michael"

​

"I just never in a million years thought he'd leave us or pass away. It just never crossed my mind", Walker said crying, "I was frustrated but never thought that would happen"

Walker didn't remember MJ having cold/stomach flu.

"I've seen people that were drunk or high and he didn't appear to be that way"

Jackson cross
Planitff's attorney Kevin Boyle did the cross examination. Boyle asked Walker if her job was to focus on dancers and not MJ. She said "Yes"

Boyle: "And it wasn't your job to look if he was sick?" Walker: "It was not"

She also agreed that it wasn't her job to supervise Dr. Murray or observe MJ's health. Walker didn't have info if Dr. Murray gave him Propofol

Walker: "I was relieved because he was there, he was going full out. Last 2 rehearsals it was the first time we saw everything come together"

Boyle plays clip of film Ghosts. Walker said MJ was pretty impressive, played 5 different roles.

"Probably one of the hardest jobs I had. He was a huge risk taker, was very innovative as a dancer and choreographer," Walker opined, saying he was an excellent dancer, confident

Walker said MJ and her were not friends, they had a work relationship. Walker never went to his house, had dinner or social interaction. MJ never told Walker about his health, never discussed Propofol use since they didn't talk about that stuff

Boyle: "Did you ever see Michael covered in blankets watching rehearsal with heaters?" Walker: "I never saw heaters or blankets"

Walker heard MJ had problems with prescription drugs from the press. She also heard about the sleeping problems. Walker said she knew Ortega kept on Michael about eating and thinks they had a massage therapist come in for him

"I've seen other artists bring chefs, masseuses, trainers sometimes," Walker said. The idea of bringing a doctor on tour didn't surprise her

​

Walker:"Michael didn't want to change the choreography, it wasn't broken, so why change it?" She thought it was going to be a great show
"Did Mr. Phillips ever tell you he instructed Mr. Gongaware in writing to take out footage that (made Jackson) look like a skeleton?", Boyle asked
"He didn't tell me that", Walker replied.

Christopher Rogers Testimony
Jackson direct
Dr. Christopher Rogers, a deputy medical examiner, began testifying last week, but was interrupted to take other witnesses
Rogers testifies that he found no conditions during Michael Jackson's autopsy that would affect his long-term survival. Death was not due to trauma and was not caused by natural disease.

"He died of acute Propofol toxicity," Dr. Rogers said

​

Koskoff: "Did you find any factors that could impact his long-term survival?"
Dr. Rogers: "From the autopsy, no I did not"

AEG cross
AEG lawyer Kathryn Cahan did the bulk of the afternoon questioning of Rogers. She focused on the prescription drug aspect of Jackson's death. In response to a Cahan question, Rogers says Jackson's death was considered a 'polypharmacy death'. That means it involved multiple drugs. Rogers noted that propofol was the main drug that killed Jackson, but told jury that other drugs (benzodiazepines) were present.
Dr. Rogers said Michael's doctor, Dr. Murray, made a statement to the police saying he wasn't breathing but he felt a faint pulse
Cahan also asked Dr. Rogers whether he knew about other doctors treating Jackson before his death. Rogers says "Yes". Rogers says he became aware that dermatologist Arnold Klein was treating Jackson. Dr. Rogers said he was uncertain who MJ's primary physician was, he understood he was seeing several doctors
Cahan also asked whether he ever concluded that any other doctors contributed to Jackson's death.

"I don't believe so", Rogers said.

Cahan also asks about Jackson's weight at the time of his death. He weighed 136 pounds & was 5'9 with a Body Mass Index of 20.1, Rogers tells jury. Rogers testified that Michael Jackson's Body Mass Index was within the normal range. A BMI figure below 18.5 would be underweight.

"He looked thin in comparison to most people", Rogers said.

He says Jackson did not appear emaciated. Dr. Rogers said Jackson's body didn't have characteristics of someone who starved to death or had anorexia. Rogers said

"Jackson's health appeared excellent"

​

Cahan: "Did you rule out starvation as a possible cause of death?"
Dr. Rogers: "Yes"
Cahan: "Was his general health excellent?"
Dr. Rogers: "As far as the autopsy goes, yes"

There was more testimony about the condition of Jackson's lungs, which were damaged in a way that might lead to pneumonia or other problems.
Autopsy report:

• MJ had lung damage, which wasn't cause of death but made this individual especially susceptible to adverse health effects

Dr. Rogers said Michael had a bit of degeneration of the lower thoracic spine, degenerative osteoarthritis of lower lumbar. Not sure how painful it was
Rogers testified he was interested in role of prescription drugs in Jackson's death based on finding propofol and other meds at the scene. Dr. Rogers said he had some concerns about drug abuse due to the investigator's report listing all the medications found at the house. He said he didn't find any opiates, opioids or Demerol in MJ's body. He had 1 other case of Propofol overdose, a person in the medical field. Dr. Rogers testified that propofol shouldn't be given in a home setting & when someone is sedated they need to be continuously monitored. Propofol, he said

"caused his death by sedation. Essentially, he was so sedated his vital functions stopped."

Jackson re-direct
Plaintiff's attorney Michael Koskoff asks Rogers about whether hospital treatments might have added weight to Jackson's body. Koskoff doesn't state how much weight might have been added to Jackson based on IV treatments by paramedics and hospital staff. Under questioning by Koskoff, Rogers said that by the time the Michael was weighed, intravenous fluids had been administered to him in the ambulance and at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, which could have increased his weight
Rogers did say that Jackson's body had some fat, but that most of his weight appeared to be in his muscles. Rogers testified that Jackson didn't have much fat on him

"I don't know what his normal weight would be," Dr. Rogers expressed.

Rogers testified that Jackson's organs didn't show any sign of lasting damage. With that, he was done testifying
Travis Payne Testimony
https://preview.redd.it/4y2zv915auzc1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72f2b6bc0789f4be44aa3b7c87919f3efd71270d
AEG direct
Travis Payne took the witness stand and began explaining his experience. Payne worked with Paula Abdul, Brandy, Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Manson & MJ among others.
He tells the jury about working on tours, music videos & video games.Payne worked on the Michael Jackson Experience video game. In the game, he taught players Jackson's dance moves. Payne first worked with Jackson on the "Remember the Time" film/music video. He was a dancer in the film. He then worked as a dancer and choreographer on Jackson's Dangerous tour. By that point, he'd developed a rapport with Jackson. He helped choreograph moves for the songs 'Dangerous" and "Jam" on the tour, Payne testified. He says it was a goal since being a child to be a dancer and work with Michael Jackson. The Dangerous tour was a realization of that dream.

"On the Dangerous tour, I was really very ecstatic. I was working with my idol",choreographer Travis Payne said.

During Dangerous his relationship with MJ grew. Payne said all he knew was that pain was an ongoing issue for MJ since the Pepsi commercial accident
Payne worked with MJ in Ghosts in 1995/96, then History tour, other tv shows & commercials and culminated with This Is It
On the HIStory tour, Payne said Jackson rehearsed both with and without his backup dancers.Rehearsals for the History tour was very extensive, Payne said. He was involved with selecting dancers, ideas for costumes and whatever was needed. Dancers would get up to speed in the beginning, MJ was good at giving space to learn
Travis Payne also worked with Jackson on One Night Only show that was canceled after incident in which Jackson fainted on stage.

Payne: "Michael had an incident, appeared to faint, we were asked to leave the theater and were told later the show was not going to happen"

Payne worked privately with Jackson on This Is It rehearsals. He says he didn't see any signs of drug abuse at this time. The choreographer also testifies that he never saw Jackson drink alcohol or take any medications. He says he saw no signs of addiction. Payne said he never saw MJ take drugs, medication or alcohol

"Nothing."

Payne said he knew there were physicians tending to MJ but dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein and nurse Debbie Rowe were the only medical professionals of Jackson's that he met
Payne said he worked with Kenny Ortega for many years. Payne and Ortega were in Vegas when Michael called Ortega asking to work on a new project. Payne didn't personally meet with MJ until after the press conference announcement. He said he was excited to work with him again
After mid-afternoon break, Payne resumed testifying about how he came to work on This Is It.

"I believe he missed performing. I believe he missed direct contact with his fans", Travis Payne says about why Jackson wanted to tour

Payne said he knew Michael was excited about the tour and his children, to share this experience with them. Payne first met with MJ in late March/2009

"He looked fine to me health wise, I thought he was thinner from what I have seen him in the past, but nothing alarming," Payne recalled

Payne said he found out that his role would not include dancing, he would choreograph and would be the associate director in This Is It. Payne testified This Is It would be different from Jackson's previous tours. AEG would be a partner, not a sponsor. The choreographer said Jackson explained to him that having AEG would be a good thing. Payne said this new way of doing business would revolutionize the way tours were done
Payne attended an April meeting at Michael's home. Said he saw no signs of impairment, drug abuse by the singer
Payne also testified that Jackson was involved in almost every detail of his scheduled shows, such as costume, wardrobe and set design, choosing the dancers and the bandleader.

Payne: "Everything started with Mr. Jackson, always. As his support team, we would contribute with ideas. MJ had the final word"

They auditioned 5,000 dancers, Michael chose the final ones & the band director also
Payne spent several minutes describing details of the This Is It show, including a torch and costume that would light up. Jackson wanted a torch in the Italian Baroque design. Actually, he wanted two, in case one broke, Payne tells jury. Payne also showed an email in which he described a costume for "Billie Jean", in which the clothing material would light up. When Payne was describing the illuminated "Billie Jean" costume, he looked out into the audience and nodded at Katherine Jackson. Bina shows an email Payne wrote. It said MJ was very persistent about having a torch, a concept that meant a lot to Michael.
Payne was then asked about his one-on-one rehearsals with Jackson at the singer's home. These were scheduled for 5 days a week.Payne said they started rehearsing after the press conference & stopped the day before Michael died. He spoke with him every day. MJ told Payne he expected him to be in every show. He wanted Payne to take notes to make sure the show was as perfect as possible.

"Customarily, we would see each other every day," Payne said

Payne worked with Jackson individually almost every day for the last three months of the singer's life. He ate lunches with Jackson, saying Michael's appetite varied daily. The choreographer said that as show time approached, MJ missed some rehearsals with the full crews, causing production to worry whether he would be ready
Payne said MJ's dancing seemed fine to him. He said they were working on things created decades before to make them age appropriate & dynamic. MJ was able to perform many of his familiar dance moves, although they had to be modified because the singer was 50 years old and not as limber as he had been decades earlier. He said Jackson was tired for some of the sessions and that

"some days would be better than others"

Payne and associate choreographer Stacy Walker said they were working to modify Jackson's dance routine to his age.

"I was realizing that's Michael Jackson, but he's not 20 or 30 any more. He's 50 and how is that going to be? We have to figure it out", Payne testified

"Drill" was the last thing they worked on together, Payne said. Michael had a great love for military precision

"He seemed very tired, we all were," Payne said

Payne testified that production wanted Michael to be more in attendance with all the cast, rather than just rehearsing by himself at his house.

Payne: "because there was inconsistency with MJ appearing at the rehearsal, production was concerned they would not meet their goals"

AEG attorney Bina asked Payne whether he thought Jackson could have finished the This Is It show. Payne said "Yes"
Payne said Jackson's goal was to sing every song live for This Is It, which he had not done in the past on every tour. This was a goal he set for himself. Michael had used vocal-assist tracks on previous shows, he said. By June 25, Payne said MJ had not developed the goal of singing and dancing at the same time but the choreographer thought he could have pulled it off.
After jurors left, Judge Palazuelos said she sustained plaintiff's objection and will not allow defense to use Dr. Murray's interview w/ LAPD. In it, Dr. Murray said he was hired by Michael to be paid by AEG. Plaintiffs said it's hearsay and judge agreed.

Trial Day 9
Katherine Jackson is not at court.
Karen Faye Testimony
Jackson direct
Faye described how Michael's health had changed over 27 years. She said that his legs, once muscular, were thin, and his face was skeletal. She said that he was not strong enough for the rigorous concert schedule set by AEG
https://preview.redd.it/1lkc271w6gzc1.jpg?width=577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c471958539240c5de852deb682f2d91c2e17fe97
Michael Bush appeared upset after he finished up a June 2009 fitting inside Jackson's bathroom at Staples Center, Karen Faye said.

"He said 'Oh my god, Turkle. I could see Michael's heartbeat through the skin in his chest'", Faye recounted.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos then asked Faye about Bush's tone of voice at the time.

"It was like, 'Oh my god'", Faye said, "He was pretty much in shock"

Around the same time, Faye said she tried to warn Michael's manager, Frank DiLeo, about his health.

"[Frank] was saying pretty much, 'I got it under control, don't worry about it'", Faye said.
"I said 'But he's losing weight rapidly. Why don't you ask Michael Bush to verify taking in his pants and how much weight he's actually losing?'"

Faye said DiLeo went to speak to Bush and she overheard the manager say "Get him a bucket of chicken"

"It was such a cold response", Faye said, "I mean, it broke my heart"

It was Kenny Ortega who came to her, hugged her and told her MJ had died. She said she became weak in the knees
Faye said she prepared MJ's body for the family to see him after he died.
She was asked to work on the This is It film touching up MJ in the footage. She refused. She thought that would be a lie and couldn't
Faye felt that Michael did not have enough muscle mass to do a concert he was prepping for his This Is It comeback tour.She said he realized he didn't look good in a video that was filmed to be used on giant screens during the concert series. At his request, she said, she assisted technicians retouching his image on the footage
But Karen Faye said that although she was asked, she did not help retouch the posthumous This Is It documentary.

"Everybody was lying after he died, sir, that Michael was well",Faye said to the Jacksons' attorney, Brian Panish. "And everybody knew he wasn't. I felt retouching Michael was just a part of that lie"

AEG cross
Karen said under cross examination by Marvin Putnam that Michael went into a rehab program in England that was recommended by Elizabeth Taylor.

"I said I was afraid Michael could die", Faye said in recalling different stages of the Dangerous tour. "Personally, there were times when he was OK and times when I was worried"

Under cross, Faye said she was released, not fired, from the HIStory Tour after the first leg.
She said Debbie Rowe who was then Michael's wife had a role in her being removed from the tour. Debbie was pregnant and very in love with him. Faye said Rowe was jealous of their closeness and also added that she (Faye) had problems with his tour manager

"[Debbie] told me that she was jealous of me being there as Michael's makeup artist", Faye said, "She thought that Michael liked me better than her"

When Faye went back to work for Michael after the HIStory tour he made Debbie apologize to Faye for having a role in getting her fired
Faye did the makeup when Michael made the announcement that he was going to rehab. She said she put false eyelashes on him for the video
Faye said she did request two prescriptions in her name for This Is It. One being Latisse, which is used to lengthen eyelashes, and the hair-growth drug Propecia so that she could give them to Jackson. She also inquired about Botox as a way to remedy hiss onstage sweat that often caused problems with his hair extensions, but said she ultimately did not get that drug
Faye said she expressed her drug abuse concerns about Jackson's health with his oldest sister, Rebbie Jackson, after she was contacted requesting information about Michael. Faye said she could not recall the time period when the conversation occurred.
She said she also had more abbreviated discussions about the same topic with two other Jackson siblings, LaToya Jackson and Randy Jackson.
Faye said that in later years Michael's family members unsuccessfully tried to get him to return to rehab.

"I never knew them to be successful, sir", Faye told Putnam."I'm sure they were trying to help him in any way they could"

Faye could not remember when she discussed her fear of MJ's drug use with his sister Rebbie.
During cross-examination, Faye clarified and said she had been torn about working on the documentary:

"My initial feeling was that I didn't want to lie, and the second, my other thing that was tugging at my heart, was that if this movie was going out, I wanted him to look good"

Faye recounted multiple incidents that she says alarmed her about Jackson's use of painkillers from the time he was burned during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, to the stress of his criminal trial on molestation charges, to the day at rehearsal before he died.Yet under cross-examination, Faye said she never had a single conversation with him about his drug use, and that there was a period of time after Jackson went through rehab in 1993 that he seemed to be fine
Karen Faye said she never saw Michael use drugs and that there was only one instance when he asked her if she had painkillers

"He asked me one time if I had pain killers",Faye said, "I said no, I didn't"

Karen said that during his 2005 trial she would spend a lot of time with him, arriving at 3 a.m. to help him get ready, and felt it was not appropriate to confront him about his misuse of prescription drugs.

"I just avoided that issue like the plague, sir, the molestation and the drug areas", she told Putnam
"I was a place of safety for him, and peace and I didn't want to bring up the allegations in my time with him. I wanted that to be a really safe place", she testified

Faye said she also became concerned during Michael's trial that he was using drugs again, saying she based her assumptions on his appearance and his demeanor. She said she got up early every morning to get Jackson ready for court. She said he was hospitalized for part of the trial because of the back pain that likely dated from the Munich accident. She said she decided again to avoid confronting him about possible drug abuse.

"It was my job & my duty as a friend to make that time calm and peaceful. I didn't want to confront him with anything. No matter what he was doing, I could never blame him for that because of the pain", Faye said

Putnam brought up Faye's Twitter account and blog and asked her if she had posted unfavorable things about AEG, she stood firm. "I've stated the truth as far as my experience", she said
Court Transcript

Gratitude to Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!
Gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
Gratitude to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from ten directions and three periods of time!
Gratitude to the Dharma protectors!
Gratitude to the selfless, altruistic, and benevolent Master Lu!
Today, to save all sentient beings, I will learn from the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to spread Dharma. I will convince sentient beings to practice Buddhism using my experiences. May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless me and help me turn my propagation into merits and virtues.
Hello everyone! I am Buddhist practitioner Qing Shan Lv Shui. Today, with immense gratitude, I share with you my Buddhist experience. The title is: 8000 Little Houses save my gravely ill son from hell
It has been nearly 9 years since I started practicing Buddhism. Initially, I entered the Buddhist path because my son fell seriously ill and we had exhausted all medical options. It was the profound Dharma that saved my son. It was the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu who guided our whole family to find hope in the darkness, bid farewell to the days without light, and step into brightness! Gratitude to the great Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Gratitude to the great Master!
When my son was young, he was very shy and didn't socialize well. He often had friction and conflicts with other children. However, at that time, I didn't think much about it...
In 2008-2009, when my son was in the second year of junior high school, during the second half of the semester, his symptoms became apparent. After that, he never returned to school.
I have always been puzzled about where my son's psychological condition went wrong. Later, he told me that since 2015, he had completely cut off all contact with the outside world. He became withdrawn...
Fortunately, I started practicing Buddhism in 2015. At that time, my son was 21 years old, and he had been ill for 6-7 years. It was an experience that I would rather not recall. Even now, thinking about it still fills me with horror and panic.
As per my son's description: his entire body was askew, with bones, joints, and muscles out of alignment, his skin felt taut, and he endured agonizing pain throughout, causing immense discomfort! He pleaded for full-body corrective surgery. Despite taking him to leading hospitals for MRI and brain CT scans, all results returned normal. Yet, his condition deteriorated over time, his sleep patterns reversed, he screamed uncontrollably day and night, yearning for either release or demise, while his emotions spiraled out of control. During this period, I found myself incapable of managing him alone at home...
In order to save him, within less than a year, my family and I held over a dozen Buddhist rituals for him, costing over a hundred thousand CNY. I also consulted psychics, but they all said they were unable to help him. Here, I repent for having consulted psychics before [Note 1]. At the same time, doctors could not come to a conclusion about his illness; some diagnosed it as a physical disorder, while others diagnosed it as bipolar disorder. I even consulted the most authoritative expert in psychiatry. The expert said, "Your child's illness is something that cannot be cured anywhere in the world..."
In June 2015, in order to begin learning to recite Buddhist scriptures and to provide timely relief and control of my son's emotions, we admitted him to the ward of a psychological counseling center. The doctor explained that psychiatric medication could only control emotions and could not alleviate the sensation of pain or immature psychological conditions. I understood that this was only a temporary protective measure and could not fundamentally solve the problem.
I also consulted with a senior expert in psychological counseling. In 2015, the consultation fee was as high as 2000 to 3000 CNY per hour. The expert suggested that we help our son undergo psychoanalysis, which required long-term investment and costs reaching hundreds of thousands of CNY. However, considering our family income, we could not afford such expensive counseling therapy. The expert conducted hypnosis on my son. Afterwards, the expert informed me that there was something on him and advised me to resolve it through the power of gods or Buddhism.
In April 2015, I visited a nearby Daoist temple to express my gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva for my son's sake. While there, I formed a connection with sacred texts such as Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, a book regarding totems interpretation, and Buddhist scriptures displayed on the temple's shelves. After inviting them home and reading their contents, I made a resolute decision to recite Buddhist scriptures to alleviate my son's karma and debts. No one could deter my determination! I firmly believe: where there is Buddhism, there is a way! Only Bodhisattvas can save my son!
Previously, my son experienced extreme fatigue, stiffness throughout his body, and a rigid spine. He couldn't touch water, bathe, or perform daily activities independently, almost paralyzed. Now, by employing several sacred practices such as making vows, reciting Buddhist scriptures, performing life liberation, and sincerely repenting, my son's condition has improved significantly.
After three years of practicing Buddhism, on the eighth day of the second lunar month in 2018, my son finally had his long hair cut, though he still refused to wash his hair.
On the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month in 2018, he had his long toenails trimmed after several years. However, the toenail of his big toe resembled a fungal infection, layered and thick, making it impossible to cut. Since he was unwilling to leave the house, we couldn't go to the hospital. It was said that removing the toenail would be very painful. Later, I noticed that the area where the toenail meets the flesh was weak and loose. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, over the years, the toenail of the big toe naturally fell off as time passed—the last toenail fell off around September 2022.

After I practiced Buddhism for 8 years, in 2023, he was able to bathe by himself. He also requested to change clothes. The windows in our home, which had been closed for years, were finally opened, and he dared to bask in the sunlight!
After I practiced Buddhism for 9 years, in 2024, he voluntarily asked to go sunbathing. He could navigate stairs by himself and move around the neighborhood without needing a wheelchair...
The following may appear trivial to some, but for my son, who once faced significant challenges, they represent significant milestones:
Previously, his head could only stay at a fixed angle and couldn't move, requiring me to feed him at the table. Now, he can comfortably sit at the dining table and eat by himself.
Previously, he couldn't sleep when he heard insect chirping at night, but now he no longer minds.
Previously, when he was seated in a chair, he would scream if I accidentally bumped into the chair. Now, he no longer minds if I accidentally bump into the chair.
When he fell ill, he used to tilt his head and feet and couldn't lie flat. Now, he can comfortably lie down and sleep peacefully.
Previously, he was extremely fixated on every piece of information stored in the computer, never missing any link or image. Any omission or deletion would cause him great distress. Now, he can proactively clean up the computer and delete unnecessary information.
Previously, he would feel fearful upon opening any book. Now, he can pick up a book and read it.
Previously, for several years, regardless of the season, he refused to wear shoes or socks and always went barefoot. But as winter approached in 2023, he naturally put on woolen socks and cotton slippers before going out!
From a state of despair to now expressing his desire for happiness, my son's mindset has undergone a transformation. The joy of Dharma continues to resonate within me.
All these are miracles created by Buddhism! This is the power of perseverance and unwavering faith! Grateful for the compassionate blessings of the Bodhisattvas!
Finally, our lives, my family's and mine, are gradually returning to normal. Everything is slowly improving and becoming normal again!
When I first started reciting Buddhist scriptures, he often said, "Mom, keep going! Thank you, Mom! Mom, we're flying, flying, flying!"
In 2018, I heard my son say, "Mom, I've climbed out of the pit."
In 2020, as he walked, he said, "Mom, I've emerged from the nightmare," repeating such words for a while.
My son's words have inspired me, encouraging me to continue diligently on this path!
In 2023, it seemed as if his soul was gradually returning—his sensory system finally began to slowly normalize!
Truly, I am immensely grateful!
One day in 2018, I had a dream in which a nail was being hammered into my son's head. A fellow practitioner sent an email to 2OR Australia Oriental Radio, seeking interpretation from Master Lu. Master Lu explained the dream: "(My son) is living in a human realm hell, and there are still nails to be hammered. The karmic debts from past lives are extremely heavy, even 3,000 Little Houses are insufficient; even 10,000 Little Houses wouldn't be too many. Life liberation should be conducted as circumstances allow, primarily to repay debts..."
Since July 2015, I have been assisting my son in reciting Buddhist scriptures for his karmic creditors. I initially made a vow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to recite the first set of 2000 Little Houses for his karmic creditors. Subsequently, I continued to make vows and recite batch after batch. As of now, I have helped him recite approximately 8,000 Little Houses for his karmic creditors.
I conducted life liberation for him. Initially, I set a baseline of 10,000 fish for each vow. As his condition stabilized, I persisted in releasing around 1,000 fish per month on average, without interruption up to the present day. In total, I liberated approximately 110,000 fish for him.
In addition, I have participated in a total of five Buddhist conferences, dedicating some of the merits and virtues from these conferences to my son and transferring some other merits and virtues to him.
During the process of assisting my son in reciting the Buddhist scriptures, initially, the karmic creditors were demanding, and I struggled to recite enough for myself while allocating more to my son. As a result, every time I finished reciting the Little Houses, I was exhausted and collapsed from fatigue [note 2].
In 2017, I dreamt of traveling to Southeast Asia, with my travel bag upside down and empty. Upon waking, I realized the emptiness and understood that this wasn't acceptable. I needed to adjust myself; no matter how challenging, I had to allocate more to myself to have the energy to help others! Subsequently, I diligently followed Master Lu's teachings, gradually adjusting the ratio of Little Houses between my son and myself from him receiving more to an equal distribution. Simultaneously, I intensified my study of Buddhism in Plain Terms and engaged in more meritorious deeds. As a result, my energy gradually increased. During this period, it was crucial to listen attentively to Master Lu's original teachings and faithfully follow them.
For the past nine years, apart from that one time when he proactively stayed in the ward of a psychological counseling center, my son has not been hospitalized for treatment again, nor has he taken any psychiatric medication thereafter.
The journey of saving him has been incredibly challenging, rugged, and prolonged, but I have persistently kept on rescuing him. My son's progress has been very slow. If observed with the naked eye every day, almost no changes can be seen. However, as a mother, I can only discern his subtle changes through long-term perseverance. During this period, it has been a severe test of patience and perseverance. My son still has some way to go before complete recovery, but it is gratifying to see him returning to his current state! I believe there will be a day when he fully recovers. Unwavering faith and perseverance are truly vital!
When I heard that some fellow practitioners paused their recitation of Buddhist scriptures for autistic children without seeing much improvement, I couldn't help but shed tears! I deeply felt sorrowful! Through my own experience, I understand deeply that perseverance is key, as every drop wears away the stone! The day when we see the dawn is just around the corner, and giving up halfway would mean all previous efforts were in vain, which would be such a pity!
Therefore, I often think: if I had given up after reciting 1000 Little Houses, I would never have experienced the joy of seeing my son walking outside and basking in the sun! It's also hard to imagine him now, sweeping the garden in the community with a broom and dustpan, carrying a camera bag on his back, capturing beautiful moments with joy.
Master Lu's teaching: "Many people ask, why isn't it effective after we pray to the Buddha? Practicing Buddhism is not about waiting for miracles to happen before learning, but rather, it's through persistently practicing Buddhism that miracles will occur [20180519 Singapore]."
It was Buddhism that led my son out of the hellish existence, granting him a new life! Gratitude to the greatest Buddhism! Gratitude to the most compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master, who never leave, always offering blessings and protection by our side!
I hope my sharing can inspire more sentient beings with an affinity for Buddha to believe in Buddhism, deeply understand karma, break through delusion, cultivate virtue, and abandon evil. I also hope it enables family members, like us, who are struggling in the sea of suffering, to learn Buddhism and recite scriptures early, to attain happiness!
If there is anything that is not rational or in line with the truth in the presentation, I pray for forgiveness from Namo Sakyamuni Buddha, the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, and Master Jun Hong Lu.
I would appreciate my fellow Buddhist practitioners' critique and correction! I, not my fellow Buddhist practitioners, will be responsible for my own karma!
Buddhist practitioner：Qing Shan Lv Shui, Gratitude and Namaste!

[Note 1] Do not contact psychics
Practitioner‘s Question: Dreamt of my mother teaching a real-life psychic to recite the Jing Kou Ye Zhen Yan. In the dream, my mother held a Buddhist Recitation Collection (Buddhist Scriptures) while the psychic sat beside her. In real-life the psychic lives adjacent to our building. Master Lu has advised not to casually transform psychics and avoid contact with them. Does this dream mean I should transform her into a Buddhist practitioner?
Master's Response: Absolutely do not. Psychics possess spirits, enabling them to see others' physical bodies, ailments, etc., and they may give you misfortunes. We Buddhists never bring misfortunes upon others. Do we have the capability and energy? Certainly! But a Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, and Buddhists are different. With psychics, if you treat them well, they will treat you well; if you treat them poorly, they will immediately bring misfortunes upon you, and you will suffer.
--- Master Lu's response to a letter of doubt (No. 236) 20180702
[Note 2] Allocation of the Little Houses
Practitioner’s Question: A fellow practitioner previously practiced other Dharma Door, but started practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door at the end of June this year. She has recited over 600 Little Houses, but only 10 were recited for her own karmic creditor. Her family discovered she has advanced breast cancer.
Master's Response: This is burdening others' karma. With such few Little Houses for her karmic creditors, her own energy is completely insufficient. How can she have the strength to help others? She must recite more Little Houses for herself, allocating 70% for herself and 30% for her family, to ensure no problems arise. The reasoning for the 70% is that in case she has karmic obstacles, 20% can counteract new karma, and 50% received can ensure you have the capability.

《白话佛法》赋予我净信和力量，恒心念经九年救度重症儿子出“地狱”
感恩南无释迦牟尼佛！
感恩南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨摩诃萨！
感恩十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨！
感恩弘法度众舍身忘我的恩师慈父卢军宏师父！
请大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑，我今天为了度众生，学习观世音菩萨千手千眼救度众生，所以我现身说法，请观世音菩萨给我加持，保佑我能够把今天这个弘法转为功德。
大家好，我是青山绿水同修。今天，我怀着无比感恩的心情来分享。题目是：《白话佛法》赋予我净信和力量，恒心念经九年救度重症儿子出“地狱”
从我学佛开始到2024年4月初快9年了。当初，我是因为儿子生重病，求医无门而走进了佛门。是伟大的佛法救了我的儿子，是伟大的观世音菩萨和师父让我们全家在黑暗中找到了希望，告别了暗无天日的日子，走向了光明！感恩伟大的观世音菩萨！感恩伟大的师父！
儿子小的时候很害羞，不合群，跟小朋友经常有摩擦、冲突。但是，那时候我并没有多想……
2008年-2009年儿子上初二，下半学期暑假期间，他的症状已经明显显现出来了。之后，他就再也没能回去上学！
我一直很困惑儿子的心理状况到底在哪里出现了问题。后来，儿子告诉我，从2015年开始，他彻底断绝了与外界的一切联系。他自闭了……
幸运的是，我从2015年开始学佛。那时，儿子21岁了，距离他患病已经有6、7年了。那是一段不堪回首的经历。现在想起来，我依然惊悚、恐慌。
据儿子自述：他的全身歪邪，骨头、关节、肌肉不在正确的位置上，皮下拉扯，全身疼痛，非常难受！他求我带他去做全身的矫形手术。当我带他去各大医院做核磁共振、脑CT检查后，得到的结果都是正常的。可是，儿子日夜颠倒，狂喊狂叫，寻死寻活，情绪越来越无法控制。当时，我一个人在家里已经看不住他了……
为了救儿子，在不到一年的时间里，我和家人们帮他做过十几场佛事，费用高达十多万；我也找过通灵人，他们都表示没有能力帮助儿子。在此，我忏悔曾经找过通灵人【备注1】。与此同时，医生们对孩子的病症也不能下定论，有的诊断为躯体障碍，有的诊断为双相情感障碍。曾经，我也找过精神科最权威的专家。专家说：“孩子的病是全世界无法医治的……”
2015年6月，为了能开始学着念经，同时让儿子的情绪得到及时疏解和控制，我们带他住进了心理咨询中心的病房。医生说了精神类药物只能控制情绪，无法医治疼痛的感觉和幼稚的心理状况。我知道这次只是临时性的防护措施，并不能从根本上解决问题。
我还找过擅长心理咨询的资深专家。在2015年，当时1个小时的咨询费用高达2000至3000元。专家建议我们帮助儿子做精神分析，需要长期的投入，费用达几十万，但就我们的家庭收入来说无法支撑起这么高昂的咨询治疗费用。专家给儿子作催眠【备注2】。之后，专家告诉我说有东西在他身上，并建议我通过神的力量或者佛法来解决。
2015年4月，我为了儿子的事去了附近的道观拜谢观世音菩萨。同时，我在道观的书架上结缘了《看图腾》、《天地人》以及经书等法宝。请回家看了之后，我毅然决定为儿子念经消业还债，没有人可以阻挡我的决心！我坚信：有佛法就有办法！只有菩萨能救我儿子！
之前，儿子全身乏力，躯体像被锁住一样，脊柱僵直。他不能碰水，不洗漱，生活不能自理，几近瘫痪。现在，我通过运用几大法宝：许愿、念经、放生，好好忏悔，儿子的状况改善了很多。
学佛3年后，在2018年农历二月初八，儿子留了几年的头发终于被剪短了，但他还是不洗头。
2018年农历七月十三，儿子留了几年的脚趾甲被剪短了。但是，脚大姆趾的指甲长得像灰指甲那样，一层叠一层，又厚，没办法剪。因为儿子不愿出门，去不了医院。据说医院是拔指甲，十指连心会很痛，也就罢了。后来，我发现儿子的脚趾甲与肉之间相接的部位长得不结实，会松动。菩萨保佑，长年累月随着时间的推移，大拇指的指甲竟然自然脱落了——最后一个指甲脱落的时间大约在2022年9月。
学佛8年后，也就是2023年，儿子能自己洗澡了。他也要求换衣服了。家中长年关闭的窗户终于被打开了，儿子敢见阳光了！
学佛9年后，儿子主动要求去晒太阳了。他能自己上下楼梯，不坐轮椅也可以在小区里走动了……
以下一桩桩，一件件，平常人可能觉得是微不足道的小事，可是对于曾经的儿子来说特别困难：
之前，儿子的头部只能待在一个固定的角度不能动，我必须端着饭碗喂他吃饭。现在，他能够坐在饭桌边自如地吃饭了。
之前，儿子晚上听到虫鸣声就无法入睡，而现在他已经不在意了。
之前,儿子坐在椅子上。如果我不小心碰到椅子，他就会大喊大叫。现在，他已经不在意我碰到椅子了。
儿子从发病时头、脚翘着，不能躺平。现在，他能平稳地躺着睡觉了。
之前，儿子曾经非常执着于电脑里存储的所有信息，不放过任何一个链接或者一张图片。如果有遗漏或者被删掉他都会特别痛苦。而现在，他能主动清理电脑，删除垃圾信息了。
之前，儿子只要打开任何一本书就会恐惧，而现在，他能拿起书来看了。
之前，儿子无论春、夏、秋、冬都不穿鞋，也不穿袜子，一直光着脚，已经有好几个年头了。2023年快到冬天的时候，他很自然地穿上绒线袜和棉拖鞋出门了！
儿子从之前的绝望状态到现在自己说要开心起来。他的心念在转变了，法喜不断……
这些都是佛法创造的奇迹啊！这就是水滴石穿的力量，这就是净信和坚持的结果！感恩菩萨慈悲保佑！
终于，我和家人们的生活逐渐地步入正轨，一切都慢慢地好起来、正常起来了！
我刚开始念经时，儿子经常会说：“妈妈加油，谢谢妈妈，妈妈我们飞呀飞呀飞。”
2018年，我听儿子说：“妈妈，我从坑里爬出来了”。
2020年，他一边走一边说：“妈妈，我从恶梦中出来了”，这样的话他重复了一段时间。
儿子的话鼓舞了我，让我继续精进努力！
2023年，儿子的魂魄好像慢慢地回来了——他的感知系统也终于开始慢慢地恢复正常了！
我忏悔自己长期以来执着地以对待正常孩子的态度来要求患重病的儿子，让他幼小的心灵承载不了。现在认识到这一点我很心痛，也特别后悔！如果当初我和家人们能够早一点学佛，早一点觉察，因材施教，早发现早化解，孩子心中的恨或许就不会生根。
师父开示：“消极，人都有的，人低潮的时候都会想不通，想不通很容易招惹灵性。灵性一上身那么忧郁症，忧郁症的人就会自杀，就会想自了了之。所以学佛的人就不会想不通，想不通的人都是不学佛的【备注3】。”
庆幸的是，通过化解，现在的儿子终于不再封闭自己，把他从小积压在心中的怨恨、被凌辱、被歧视等等的负面情绪表达出来了。
真的无比感恩！2018年的一天，我梦见一颗钉子敲进孩子的头顶里。师兄帮我发了电子邮件到东方台。恩师慈悲解梦，秘书处师兄回复给我师父的开示（图片1）：（儿子）活在人间地狱，而且还要钉钉子，上辈子的罪业重得不得了，三千多张小房子都不够，这么重的罪有得烧了，一万张都不多，放生随缘，主要是还债……
佛法真实不虚啊，因果报应丝毫不爽！三世因果，欲知前世因，今生受者是。儿子今世所受的种种果报都是他的前世所做。业力深重，只有好好忏悔、消业还债，才能把孩子从深渊中解救出来！
我从2015年7月开始帮助儿子给他的要经者念诵经文组合。我向观世音菩萨许愿念诵第一拨经文组合2000张。之后，我不停地许愿，一拨又一拨地念诵。到目前为止，我总共给他的要经者念诵8000张左右了；我还帮他放生了大约11万条鱼。针对放生，我当时是以一万条为基数，一万条一许愿。刚开始，前两万条鱼是集中时间去放，后来有几次是一万条一次性放完，待儿子稳定些了，就坚持每个月平均帮他放生一千条左右，至今从没有间断过。另外，我总共参加了5场法会，转了部分法会的功德【备注4】给儿子，也转了部分其他功德给他。
在帮助孩子念诵组合过程中，刚开始要经者要得急，自己又念不出，给到自己的少，给到儿子的多，因此每次化完组合我都瘫了，累趴下了【备注5】！
2017年，我梦见自己去南洋旅游，旅行包底朝天，空了。醒来后，我知道空掉了，这样不行，我必须调整自己，再怎么样困难也要多给自己，有能量才能帮助到别人！之后，我努力按师父开示，慢慢地把自己与儿子的组合比例，从我少他多调整到他多少我多少。同时，我加强《白话佛法》的学习和多做功德。这样，我的能量逐渐增强起来。在这期间专听师父原音开示，听话照做很重要。
2017年5月，儿子的业障爆发，腿脚肿痛难忍不能走路，急救住院挂盐水。我当时许愿帮他放生2000条鱼。师父开示过：急病来了要快放【备注6】。
那时候，我每天去市场救刀下鱼。我随缘100条、100条就这样坚持放生，直到他出院后继续慢慢地帮他放，每天十几条，二十几条，直到完成愿力。从此以后，我坚持每天帮他放生，到现在已经快7年了。
我继续精进努力地念经、做功德，多多去帮助众生，救度众生。我祈求菩萨保佑儿子身体健康，化解冤结，消灾解难。
儿子在前几年度过了他最困难的危险期。9年来，除了那一次预防性地住进心理咨询中心的病房，儿子并没有因病再住院治疗过，之后也没有吃过任何精神类的药物。目前，虽然儿子的情绪还处在不稳定当中，他的状况时常反复，属螺旋型向上盘旋，一步步转好。我继续努力帮助他化解。我们全家能够平稳地度过这个阶段，先生的身体和工作相对稳定，已经是菩萨和师父保佑的结果了，真是不简单啊！平安就是福啊！感恩观世音菩萨和师父慈悲保佑！
救度儿子的过程相当地艰难、坎坷而又漫长，但我一直努力地在“烧水”。儿子的进步也是非常地缓慢。如果每天用肉眼观察，几乎看不出什么变化。但是，作为孩子的母亲，靠着长期的坚持才能感受到他的细微变化。这期间，非常考验人的耐心和毅力。儿子离完全康复还有一些距离，但是他能恢复到目前的状况令人欣慰！相信水总有烧开的一天。净信【备注7】和恒心真的特别重要！
当我听说有的师兄为自闭症的孩子念了1000多张经文组合，看不到有好转就不再念的时候，我落泪了！我深感惋惜！通过我的亲身经历，我深深明白，水滴石穿，贵在坚持！就有见到曙光的那一天，中途放弃就等于前功尽弃，实在是太可惜了！
所以，我常常在想：如果当初我只念到1000多张就放弃了，那我永远都不能感受到儿子现在能够走出户外晒太阳的欢喜！也很难想象现在的他一把扫帚一只畚箕在小区花园里扫垃圾，还背着摄影包端着像机捕捉美好的瞬间的法喜。
师父开示：“很多人说，我们求佛之后为什么不灵呢？学佛不是在灵验后才去学，而是在坚持学佛之后才会灵验。”【20180519新加坡】
学佛让我懂得‘’吃苦就是消业”，苦是乐之因，乐是苦之果。每每孩子无休止地哭闹就是对我道心的考验。当我一次又一次地跨过障碍后，自己的心性和境界也逐步地得到了提升！
感恩儿子，他是我学佛路上的逆增上缘，我走出了之前孤独无助、痛苦不堪、紧张焦虑的困境，找到了继续活下去的力量！学会了“心不随境转”，笑对人生；学会了忍耐；学会说“我错了，谢谢，对不起【备注8】。”
当我第一次聆听法会现场直播时，法喜从内心涌出，殊胜无比。这种法喜一直回荡在我的心中，激励着我，支撑着我度过了一个又一个难熬的日日夜夜。师父开示：因为你开心了，你才会感受到那是法喜。这些年来，看似我和儿子一样生活在“人间地狱”，可是，我的内心却幸福、愉悦地徜徉在满满的正能量里。
“人不能失去光明，光明心就是本心，就是良心；光明心必须要照见，才能明心见性。
光明普照黑暗消，
正念现前魔障逃。
普施无畏心不退，
勇猛精进彼岸归。”【2021年10月16日 师父每日白话佛法】
是佛法让儿子走出了人间地狱，重获新生！感恩最伟大的佛法！感恩最慈悲的观世音菩萨和师父不离不弃、时时刻刻在身边的加持、庇佑！
希望我的分享能让更多的有缘众生相信佛法，深信因果，破迷开悟，断恶修善；也让像我们一样在苦海中挣扎的家人们能够早日学佛念经，离苦得乐！
分享过程中如有不如理不如法之处，请南无释迦牟尼佛慈悲原谅！请南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨慈悲原谅！请十方三世一切诸佛菩萨及龙天护法菩萨慈悲原谅！请卢军宏师父慈悲原谅！
请师兄们批评指正！我自己的业障自己背，不让师兄们背！

【备注1】不要接触通灵人 卢台长开示解答来信疑惑（二百三十六）20180702
问：梦到妈妈教一个现实中的通灵人念净口业真言。我妈妈手中拿着经书，通灵人坐在她旁边。现实中的通灵人住在楼下的旁边。台长说过不要轻易度通灵人，也不敢接触和度通灵人。这个梦是要去度化她吗？
卢台长答: 千万不要去。通灵人身上有灵性，所以他能看到别人的身体、身上的毛病等，他会给你下杠头的。我们学佛人永远不会去给别人下杠头。我们有这个能力和能量吗？肯定有。但菩萨就是菩萨，学佛人就是不一样。通灵人，你对他好，他也对你好，你对他不好，他马上给你下杠头，你就会倒霉。
【备注2】催眠术控制人的魂魄，实际上就是进入灵魂深层
Wenda20140613 01:10:31
男听众：有些心理学家会催眠术，在一个人面前怎么样怎么样，那个人就真的被催眠了，这个是不是把对方的魂魄给控制住了？
师父答：对啦，这倒是真的。催眠术是有讲究的，催眠术实际上就是进入你的灵魂深层。他进入你的深层意识当中，就能控制住你的意识。
【备注3】如何克服消极情绪
Wenda20150628B 32:30
男听众：人面对阻碍的时候容易产生消极的厌世心理，怎样将这种心理转化成积极的正能量？请师父慈悲开示一下。
台长答：这个很简单，多学佛呀。消极，人都有的，人低潮的时候都会想不通，想不通很容易招惹灵性。灵性一上身那么忧郁症，忧郁症的人就会自杀，就会想自了了之。所以学佛的人就不会想不通，想不通的人都是不学佛的。如果在学佛当中还想不通，这个人根本没学好（哦，谢谢师父开示）
【备注4】转功德会背业吗
① Wenda 20191220 40:09
男听众：您开示过转功德会背业。请问师父，背业的量由什么决定？由转功德的大小还是对方的业障所决定的？
台长答：转功德会背业要看的。比方说，转出去功德你就说一个量就可以了，如果你只是一味地说“我转功德给他”，那么这个背得就厉害了，一般地你转出去功德不会背的。比方说我给你多少功德，讲“我一场法会的三分之一功德给你”，那给掉就给掉了。这个背业不是背业，就是你少掉功德了，实际上也叫“背”（明白了）
②Wenda20160529A 01:09:14
转赠功德的底线最多20%~30%
男听众：师父，我们拜师了，但是遇到家人生病，把自己百分之多少的功德给家人，这样是不是容易造成我们的莲花变小或者是掉落呢？
师父答：如果你给家人，不帮他背业，只是给他让他渡过难关，让他消业，那你的莲花不会小的；如果你说“我把自己的一生……折寿”什么的，莲花就小起来了。如果你的功德不能够遮盖他的罪业的话，那你接下来莲花就没了，掉下来了（师父，那转赠功德的底线是百分之多少呢？）一般20%、30%最多了，我看50%是绝对不能超过的。你可以把一场法会的50%、70%、80%给家里人，但是你不能把一身所有的功德全部给他的，那你就完了（不能说我身上多少的功德？不能加上“身上”，一旦加上“身上”就完了？）加“自己身上”的话，你最多给20%、30%，这已经不得了了。如果你这个人功德很大，是很努力的人，你给5%，对方都有感觉的（有的同修度人很多，业障比例会下降得很快。像这种人并没有用功德求消业，是慈悲度人菩萨自动帮他消除业障，还是因为功德总量长了，虽然业障总量没有怎么变，但是由于功德基数长了，所以业障比例就下降了，是这样吗，师父？）是啊。因为他功德大得不得了的时候，拿现在话来讲就叫利息了，你本金没动，拿点利息就把你的业障都消掉了，师父喜欢是用现代话来解释。举个简单例子，你本来欠人家十万块钱，现在存在银行里有五百万，你说这个十万块算什么了？
【备注5】

1. 兼顾自己和家人的要经者按50%比例

Wenda20151004B 25:17
女听众：一位同修他每天都在默默地做师父的“佛言佛语”，做得非常漂亮，也非常感恩这位同修。他修心灵法门一年了，平均一周能念25张左右的小房子。由于家里人都没有念经，他们的要经者都来找这位同修要小房子，他的任务非常繁重，有打胎的孩子、亡人、房子的要经者，还有家人的要经者。想问一下师父，在这样的情况下，他一个人修，小房子应该怎样安排？他自己和家人的小房子比例怎么安排？
师父答：很简单了，50%，
50%。求家里50%，一定要保证自己家里50%的。比方说家宅平安了，自己身体好了，都是属于自己修的一个部分。还有50%给家里人，比方说其他的人，亡人这样的……（就是自己50%，家里亡人、还有家里的……）对啊。举个简单例子，一天念4张小房子，2张给自己，2张给亡人、自己打胎孩子或者其他的跟他没关系的亲戚、朋友（好的，感恩师父慈悲开示！）

1. 来信解答七十四 20151116

问37：这个同修之前修其他法门的，今年6月底修心灵法门，已经念了600多张小房子，但是只有10张小房子是念给自己的要经者，家人发现她已经得了乳腺癌晚期。
答：这是帮人家背业了，自己念诵这么少，自己能量完全不足，哪有这样的力量来帮其他人背。只能自己多念一点，给自己70%，给家里人30%，这样才能保证不出问题。70%的道理在于，万一自己有业障，20%可以抵挡新业，50%收到可以保证自己有这样的能力。
【备注6】平时放生要慢慢放，有急有难时马上放，多放
Wenda20170305A 46:31
女听众：台长，您说我们家的那个，心脏病事情，原先打通电话我忘记问了，他每天的功课能做多少？
台长答：都能做，你叫他有机会就多做点功课吧，没关系的（他一天小房子念三张、两张的）都可以（您看他修心精进不？）精进，很精进。小房子一张好，两张不少，三张很好，四张五张，哎呀，精进修行，能念六张，你就……（台长，他这次有许愿一年能放够一万条鱼，这个是慢慢放还是……）我问你，你吃饭是一口一口吃，还是一年的饭一起吃？你的肉是每一天长一点，人的骨头是每一天长高一点，还是你一年吃一桶饭，然后骨头一年都长出来？（那就是慢慢放，是吧？）慢慢放就是培养你的慈悲心啊（哦，那我知道了）你要是身体不好，那你快快放，那是一次性的，不能平时也是这样的。你要是有急有难的时候你就可以马上就放，要多放一点（我这个腿现在放多少生？）应该是慢慢放，200条200条放。
【备注7】怎样做到对观世音菩萨的净信
wenda20150927A 32:26
男听众：师父在《白话佛法》中提到“要对观世音菩萨净信”，我们怎么才能达到“净信”呢？请师父慈悲开示一下。
台长答：“净信”就是说要相信观世音菩萨，要很干净，不能带有私心。很简单了，有些人相信观世音菩萨，“哎呀，观世音菩萨，我给你供点水果啦，我给你供点什么东西啦……我相信观世音菩萨一定会保佑我”，这种就不叫净信。净信是什么？“观世音菩萨是大慈大悲的，我只要求观世音菩萨，观世音菩萨一定会照顾我，一定会帮助我的，我这么善良，做了这么多好事”。这种完全相信，叫“净信”，很干净的。比方说，我举个不大恰当的例子，你给某一个领导去送点礼物，你就去怀疑他，“他会不会嫌我的东西少啦？他会不会不用心帮我啦？”“净信”是说“我不送东西他都会帮我的，因为他是为人民服务的”。好了，就这么简单
男听众：明白了，谢谢师父慈悲开示！
