Little Joanna got over insomnia and eczema by practising the Buddha's teachings

Little Joanna has been practicing the Buddha Dharma to get rid of annoying insomnia and eczema.

In Buddhism, one reaps what he sows. “In relation to cause and effect, diseases are rooted from the evil karma of killing, the evil mind to harm others. Thus, we need to repent to gradually eliminate that karma. In daily life, it is easy to make mistakes. Hence at the end of the day we should repent by openly confessing our wrongdoing to the Buddha and promise not to re-do it. Our souls will be pure and our sins will be erased”. By practicing these daily, Joanna no longer suffers from insomnia and eczema, and she is now happier than ever.

“My name is Joanna. I am in year 4 at Gordon West Public School.

I used to have insomnia, which made it extremely hard to sleep. Mum told me to repent each night, and also to pray to the Buddha, and sometimes offer part of my allowance to Ba Vang Pagoda in Vietnam. Amazingly, that helped a lot.

In addition, I also suffered from Eczema, a sort of skin condition that gave me terrible itching and left me with small wounds on my skin. I repented as well. It worked tremendously and I felt so thankful for what Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh taught me and Mum.

Back to the time when I had no idea of repentance, It felt like I would never be able to sleep well, or the eczema would not leave me alone. However, since I knew how to repent, I felt more rested and the annoying disease was slowly healing and finally went away.

The Buddha Dharma also helps me improve a lot in relationships with friends, and family, by applying proper behaviors which are cool to follow every day.

Thank you so much the Buddha for helping me, thank you Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh, and the Sangha for making us understand the Buddha's teachings so that we can apply them into our lives and be happy.
