On the first day of the chanting class, I made a wish card for my brother in front of the Buddha. Unexpectedly, on the seventh day of the chanting class, my younger brother sent a video of he and his wife and our mother chanting by the river, and accompanying his mother to visit his elderly aunts. The younger brother sighed, “They are all the same age. One of the two elders is blind and the other no longer recognizes people. Only our mother is very energetic, not like an 80-year-old woman at all.”

I replied, “That’s because our mother has been chanting for 20 years.” The younger brother agreed. Thanks to the blessings of the buddhas and bodhisattvas and masters, my mother is young, healthy and full of vitality, and, as her children, we are not worried.

Gratitude to the merciful and compassionate Sakyamuni Buddha, and to the merciful and compassionate Grandmaster JinBodhi! Pray that Buddha’s light and Grandmaster will always lead my younger brother and his family to a bright future!
