My attitude , just like anyone else would be distinctive in
different circumstances.
But when a health related calamity stuck my daughter, it
over engulfed me.
It was like a stereotypical repetition of my own fitness
conditions. It is almost impossible to transcend the laws of nature, but then
in that given setting , I had to find a
solution, not just concerning my daughter’s health but also bring peace to my
psyche.
I had survived things that were worse than what I was going
through now and I knew that if I had survived my past , nothing or no one could
stop me. I had to be stronger than what I thought myself to be.
I had an opportunity to take control of my life by the
decisions I made.
I had been a follower of Buddhist philosophy for the past
some years and the only quick fix to my daughter’s agony seemed to lie in
relying on my deep faith towards my Buddhist practice. So I started to chant to
bring out the best in her, trying to banish the negative forces that were trying
to traumatize her. Taking responsibility of being a mother gave me the power to
be exactly where I wanted to be. I had
to figure out what I needed to do to cope with tough times. I was not going to
let any troubles knock me down.
Realizing that I could not face this issue alone , I decided
to be upfront with friends and colleagues about what I was going through. My
friends knew that I had managed to push
through hard times, and they were much more willing to put their necks out for
me to help me thrive. Together we chanted sending strong energy forces towards
my daughter. Since chiIdhood I had been taught the power of combined prayers
and the reports of my daughter, although not exactly perfect ,saved her from
many more complexities.
I had learnt to trust those who helped to relieve the gloom
of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of
my prosperity.”
