宣化上人法師您好：
我借這次機會，向法師匯報，我通過
學佛法，看您講述經書的感想和感應。
人生下來都是天真無邪的，我也不例
外，但隨著年齡增長，慢慢地進入社會
，社會上存在著一些歪門邪道，使我深
深地受到影響，沒有認清好與壞，善與
惡，正與邪。自己不知不覺地走上當今
社會流行的一條路：抽煙、喝酒、賭博
、邪淫、多貪，多沾的魔道，給家庭造
成了糾紛，夫妻不和，自己也得到病魔
纏身的報應。正在受苦當中，有位好友
引見，把我領到佛友丁先生家中。
這一天，我是終生難忘的，因為我有
生以來，第一次聽見了佛法，使我懂得
了什麼是好與壞，善與惡，正與邪，我
悟到了因果，我從一個法盲，慢慢地能
夠認真學佛，看經書，弘揚佛法。把我
們這個曾經受到邪、惡不分的家庭，度
化成為一個佛化家庭；人與人之間相互
溝通，老與少之間互相尊重。我身邊的
親朋好友和同事們，看到了我學佛法之
後，有很好的轉變，於是他們對佛法有
了正知正念，對我弘揚的佛法有了正確
的理解和認識。
從那以後，我堅持天天練功、禮佛、
看經書，改掉自己的惡習，持五戒，精
進刻苦，學佛法，使我的身體健壯起來
，病也都沒有了，從魔道中脫離出來。
我願生生世世供養佛法僧，我願皈依
佛，皈依法師您老門下為弟子，這是我
今世的心願。祝願萬佛城正法久住，法
輪常轉。願您老在異國身體安康！此致
法安

Greetings to Venerable Dharma Master Hua:
I'd like to take this opportunity to generally describe my thoughts and responses gained through learning Buddhism and reading your commentaries on the sutras.
People are born pure and innocent, and I was no exception. However, when I grew older, I gradually became more involved in the society, and there were some perverse cults which deeply influenced me. I could not clearly recognize what was good or bad, wholesome or evil, and proper or deviant. Unwittingly, I entered a popular path in modern society, the evil path of smoking, drinking, gambling, promiscuity, and greed. I caused problems in the family, disharmony between husband and wife, and the retribution of a sickness-ridden body for myself. In the midst of my suffering, my good friend took me to the home of Mr. Ding, a Buddhist friend.
I won't forget that day for the rest of my life. On that day, I heard Buddhadharma for the first time in my life. I came to understand the difference between good and bad, wholesome and evil, and proper and deviant. I awakened to the principle of cause and effect. Having been blind to the Dharma before, I gradually began to earnestly learn Buddhism, read sutras, and propagate the Buddhadharma. I converted my family, which had not distinguished what was evil and bad, into a Buddhist family. Family members started communicating, and the older and younger generations respected each other. Relatives, friends, and colleagues noticed that after I started learning Buddhism, I became a better person. Thus they have a proper outlook towards the Buddhadharma, and a correct understanding and recognition of the Buddhadharma that I have been propagating.
From that time on, I have persisted in practicing meditation, bowing to the Buddha, and reading sutras. I am changing my bad habits, upholding the five precepts, and vigorously learning the Buddhadharma. My body has become strong and free of sickness, and I have escaped the path of evil.
I vow to make offerings to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha in life after life. I vow to take refuge with the Buddha, and to take refuge with you, Venerable Master, and be your disciple. This is my resolve for this life. I hope the proper Dharma of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas will dwell forever, and the Dharma Wheel will always be turned. I also wish Venerable Master good health! Peace in the Dharma!
