Recovery from the Novel Coronavirus - The Power of Love and Prayer that Created Miracles

Since January 2020, Happy Science has started the "Prayer to Repel the Coronavirus from China", and in February of the following year, President Ryuho Okawa disclosed the Dharma talk "The Law to Enhance Immunity".

"Prayer to Repel the Coronavirus from China" and the Dharma talk "The Law to Enhance Immunity" are held not only at branches and temples within Japan but also at overseas branches and temples open_in_new.

Mr. A, a believer of Happy Science living in America, also listened to the Dharma talk "The Law to Enhance Immunity" at the branch in early March.

In the Dharma talk, President Ryuho Okawa explained how to enhance immunity from both religious and physical perspectives.

Mr. A learned the mindset to counter the "novel coronavirus" from the Dharma talk.

A few weeks later, Mr. A was to have an experience that would test that mindset.

※ Believers who have taken the Three Returns Vow in Happy Science. The "Three Returns Vow" is a pledge to rely on the "Three Treasures (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha)."
※ Principle of possession... A state where some spiritual existence affects a living human.

To delay the peak of the novel coronavirus infection, lockdowns (restrictions on movement) began in late March in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other countries.

Around the same time, Mr. A received a phone call from his mother saying, "My lungs hurt."

From the symptoms his mother described, Mr. A suspected that she might have contracted the novel coronavirus.

Mr. A strongly advised his mother, who was irritated by her symptoms, to go to the hospital.

Feeling a bad premonition, Mr. A decided to receive the "Prayer to Repel the Coronavirus from China" (※) and received a prayer at the Happy Science branch.

When he prayed, Mr. A felt an incredible light and a conviction arose from the depths of his heart that "Mom will be okay!"

Mr. A accompanied his mother to the hospital for her examination, but since it would take a day for the results to come out, she was admitted to the hospital.

※ "Prayer to Repel the Coronavirus from China"... A powerful prayer to protect oneself and loved ones from the novel coronavirus infection that originated in China and has spread worldwide.

The next morning after the test, Mr. A received a call from the hospital.

His mother's test result was "positive."

"Even though I received the prayer, this is the result..." Mr. A was shaken.

When Mr. A arrived at the hospital, his mother's condition seemed worse than expected, and she was in a severe state where she could barely breathe with her own lungs.

Mr. A's mother had to take in most of her oxygen through a ventilator and was placed in a ward for severe patients.

Normally, she should have been completely isolated, but this ward allowed family visits.

This meant that the patients in this ward were close to "death."

Even though Mr. A had received the prayer the day before and was convinced that "Mom will be okay!", he was shocked at this moment and shed tears for his mother's well-being.

However, Mr. A remembered what he had written in the prayer.

"I will discard the bad thoughts I have held towards my mother. I pray for her recovery."

In fact, Mr. A had not been getting along well with his mother for a long time.

Mr. A resolved to let go of his grievances towards his mother.

"Mom will definitely be okay! My prayers are being heard by the deities. I will do everything I can for my mother."

Mr. A strongly believed in the divine protection he felt during the prayer and regained his positive and calm self.

Mr. A remembered what he learned in the Dharma talk "The Law to Enhance Immunity" that "fear" is related to infections.

Mr. A's mother was in a dangerous state.

"If we need to increase the amount of oxygen delivered to the lungs through the ventilator any further, we will need to take another measure for the lungs. To recover from here, the individual's immunity is important."

The doctor told him.

Her mother was nearing 70 years old, had pre-existing conditions such as asthma and diabetes, and was emotionally unstable, so her immunity seemed low and her resistance to the virus was weak.

Mr. A noticed that his mother's emotions were trapped in anxiety and fear, and he encouraged her to remove them.

"Mom will definitely recover! You will be absolutely fine. Please believe my words."

Since Mr. A's mother was not a believer of Happy Science,

he handed her the "The True Words Spoken By Buddha" (English version "The Words of Truth: Shoshin Hōgo"※) as a protective charm.

From that day on, due to the hospital's wishes, visits were restricted, so Mr. A called his mother every day to encourage her.

As Mr. A repeatedly encouraged her, his mother's heart gradually calmed down, and her fear began to dissipate.

Furthermore, the desire to "leave the hospital soon" grew stronger, and the amount of oxygen she was taking in with her lungs increased.

Mr. A's conviction that "Mother will definitely recover!" deepened even further.

※ “The True Words Spoken By Buddha” (English version of "The Words of Truth: Shoshin Hōgo")... An English scripture written by President Ryuho Okawa.

It was four days after the result that his mother tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Mr. A received a phone call from the hospital.

The hospital's message was that his mother's symptoms were improving, and she could be moved to a lighter stage ward.

A few days after moving wards, the doctor informed her, "You can be discharged tomorrow."

Mr. A's mother, who had been infected with the novel coronavirus and was in the severe patient ward, recovered enough to be discharged in just over a week.

Mr. A's mother told him over the phone that she had become able to cook for herself after being discharged, indicating her smooth recovery.

Although Mr. A's heart wavered temporarily upon receiving the "positive" test result, by listening to the Dharma talk "The Law of Enhancing Immunity" and receiving "Prayer to Repel the Coronavirus from China", he was able to maintain a bright, positive, and constructive state of mind, which helped him alleviate his mother's fear of the illness by encouraging her.

During this difficult period, Mr. A read President Ryuho Okawa's book "The Laws of Steel" open_in_new (Japanese title "鋼鉄の法" open_in_new) and watched the movie "Immortal Hero" open_in_new (Japanese title "世界から希望が消えたなら。" open_in_new※) on demand, which supported him and helped him overcome this trial.

And now, the conflicts he had with his mother have disappeared, and he feels that they have become very close.

Mr. A was able to restore not only his mother's miraculous recovery from the novel coronavirus but also the bond between mother and daughter.

※ The movie "Immortal Hero" (Japanese title "世界から希望が消えたなら。")... A film based on the true story of President Ryuho Okawa, released in Japan in October 2019. The story follows the protagonist, Mioya Makoto, as he awakens to his mission as a savior, miraculously recovers from a severe illness, and grows into a world teacher, achieving 36 awards at film festivals in eight countries.

Happy Science conveys a worldview based on the spiritual truth that "human life is eternal, and this world is a training ground given to acquire wisdom."

It is very important to make efforts to prevent infection based on correct knowledge and information.

Furthermore, it is essential to not hold too much fear and to live in a way that radiates an aura of always having good thoughts and giving love to others.

The power of believing in deities enhances immunity.

I sincerely pray that as many people as possible awaken to the power of faith, repel the infection of the novel coronavirus, and lead bright, positive, constructive, and happy lives.
