I am a Taiwanese Bhikkuni of Buddhism in Taiwan. I have been ordained for almost 30 years and have been teaching Dhamma to the prisoners who mostly are under a death sentence at the biggest jail in Taiwan for more than 20 years.
A man was born in the family of 5 male siblings but his parents wanted a daughter so they raised him as if he was a girl. Once he grew up, he became a prostitute. He worked from Asian to Europe and had met lots of abnormal guests. What retributions caused his life to be like this? DMC has the answers.
She was raped by her father since she was 9 years old. Finally, she got pregnant from her dad when she was 15 years old. She married with another man to solve the problem but he divorced her after she gave birth. Her father took her son and taught him to hate his own mother. Fortunately, she had begun her new life with a new husband who accepted and understood her. And, her life is getting after she met DMC.
It’s the case of knowing someone who’s undergoing untold suffering and distress and wishes to commit suicide. Is there a way to console or recommendation we can offer to encourage him to choose life?
A young man had to support himself since he was 14 and became an amateur boxer. Unfortunately, he died in the ring at the age of 15. What kind of kammic retribution caused this?
I know of some people who always say they’re short on money at the end of the every month even though they get paid well each month. I would like to ask Luang Phaw to recommend the correct way to spend their earnings.
One lady grew up in the family that had lots of conflict. Her grandfather always got drunk and pushed her grandmother who was 8-9 month pregnant down the stair. Her parents always argued with each others and her mom was often abused. She tried to commit suicide when she was 11. Fortunately, her life started changing once she knew the Dhammakaya Temple.
Her mother had as many as 8 operations and on her last operation, her doctor predicted that she would not live longer than 2 years. Her mother got a chance to come to Dhammakaya Temple and did lots of merits. Surprisingly, she is still living and healthy. What merit causes this? And, why did many of her family members experience separation or divorce? DMC has the answers...
Some people think there shouldn’t be any resolution when making merit, because it is as if one is greedy or one expects something in return. I don’t know how to correct this misunderstanding.
How can we train our descendants to be disciplined and well-organized when they grow up?
