Hi
My mother feels very painful as her back is giving her severe pain. Now still in hospital, doctor prescribed painkillers and injection, but seems not much improvement for a few weeks.
She is not a buddhist, does not speak/understand English or Chinese, only dialect. Most of the time lays on the bed.
Is there any ways such as praying, blessing, chanting, etc. that may help her to relief her suffering?
I really need your advice the soonest.
Thanks.
It is better that she chant or meditate herself, effects are faster. As her agitation is reduced, she will suffer less.
You may chant Amithaba or even the Medicine Buddha, depends on her affinity.
Also, look for a chinese sinseh specialising in massage, physical pain lessens,mental pain lessens.

Hi, You can start to learn å¤§æ‚²å’’å¿µè¯µä¸Žå¤§æ‚²å’’æ°´åŠ æŒ�法. http://www.dizang.org/zy/dbz2.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8V6kPlVUFs http://www.xuefo.net/znxg_14792_2.htm Hope it will help your mum after drinking it. Heaven and Guan Yin will be moved by your filial actions. If you think the 大悲咒念诵 is too complex, you may just chant Amituofo or Nan Mo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa to the water. Once water is chanted with prayer, and the positive effect on the water is very big and just imagine if a person drinks it. http://sites.google.com/site/terrycomic2/water You may ask her to chant Amituofo or Guan Yin Pu Sa if she is comfortable with it. Transfer the merits of chanting to her karmic debtors. You may also chant Amituofu or Guan Yin Pu Sa at your comfortable level for her n her karmic debtors as well. Amituofo
Sorry to heard the illness by your mum.
I do hope your mum will get well soon.
Do some chanting and bless your mum everyday.
I agreed.
the most effective i know is still liberating life ; vegetarianism ; sincerely reciting Earth Store Sutra ; Buddha recitation . meditate is very difficult when in pain/illness. nian fo/Buddha recitation is easier.
the stories of çŽ°ä»£å› æžœå®žå½• explain alot to me on the working of karma. and the ways to reduce the effect.

Hi Sentokin
Sad to hear about your mother problem, however glad to know that you a fillial child who seek to alleviate your mum suffering. You did the very right thing by seeking professional medical help.
In term of spiritual wise, I hope you could read with an open mind about the idea of karma effect.
When a karma is ripen, its will produce an effect. Currently, your mum is experiencing the effect, it is adviseable to accept the effect and repent on her behalf for any negative karma seeds she has planted in the past. It may not be this life but previous.
Next, try to chant and delicate the merits to her. Of course, on this forum there are a lot advise on what chant to be used. It depend whether you are a nominal Buddhist or practising one. You can used a text which you are familiar. However, if you do not know any, you can try chanting, "Namu Myoho Renge Kyo." until you are satisfied, just delicate the merits to her. You can do it in your home facing a wall.
Last year, when my uncle was in ICU. I just do it by his bed or home altar. Due to the good graces of triple gems and his own karma, he awoke and now is walking around.
Do you remember in Chpter 16 Lotus Sutra, it was said Shayamuni Buddha is like a father to us, always keeping a look out for your well being. He will not leave or forsake us in time of trouble.

Why must face wall?
Well, as I have not been to Sentokin's home. Therefore, I am not sure if he has an altar with picture or statue of Buddha or Bodhisattva. Therefore, I am just giving a 2 cents on what most people when they don't have an altar.
My advice to you is whatever Buddha's name or mantra you chant, just concentrate on 1 or 2. Chant with sincerity and faith.
Some people expect immediate effect which I will not say it is impossible but that depends on what kind of sickness. If it is pure sickness, it will be faster to cure, it will take longer time if the sickness is linked to karma （业障病). I chanted Earth Store Sutra and Earth Store Buddha's name for more than half a year to see full recovery of my family members'业障病. I'm very grateful because according to the doctor, there is no cure for the sickness, can only be controlled.
Sorry to hear that....pray and chant with your pure faith, I'm sure her illness will recover....

hi Sentokim, if you can PM me her name soon within this 2 or 3 days, i'll pray for her and also request some others to pray for her.
If you can arrange for it, it'd be good to do some Medicine Buddha pujas and prayers for her.
For yourself, it'd be good if you can keep praying to Medicine Buddha on her behalf.
