Late-stage liver cancer recovery is often thought to be impossible—but in this remarkable true story shared by Master Chin Kung, a man given only months to live made a full recovery through faith, repentance, and Pure Land Buddhist practice. His journey from despair to healing is a living testament to the power of karma transformation and the compassionate vows of Amitabha Buddha.
🩻 A Hopeless Diagnosis
This man was in his early 60s, a successful businessman with a loving family. He had spent his life working hard, enjoying wealth and success, but had never paid much attention to spirituality.
One day, after experiencing severe fatigue and jaundice, he visited the doctor and received the devastating news: he had advanced liver cancer, and it had already spread. The doctors told him that even with treatment, he had little chance of survival.
Hearing this, he fell into deep despair. He couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, and spent his days crying and fearing death. His family tried to comfort him, but nothing helped.
🌸 A Ray of Hope Through Pure Land Buddhism
One day, a close friend—who was a devoted Pure Land practitioner—visited him and urged him to listen to Master Chin Kung’s teachings on the Infinite Life Sutra.
The friend told him,
“Even if doctors say there is no cure, don’t give up hope. The power of Amitabha Buddha’s vows is beyond human understanding. If you sincerely practice Nianfo (chanting ‘Amituofo’), miracles can happen.”
At first, the man was skeptical. He had never believed in Buddhism, let alone in the idea that chanting a Buddha’s name could help him recover. But with nothing to lose, he agreed to try.
His friend brought him recordings of Master Chin Kung’s lectures, explaining how negative karma manifests as illness, and how sincere repentance and recitation of Amitabha’s name can transform one’s fate.
One phrase from Master Chin Kung’s teaching struck him deeply:
“Illness is a reflection of our past karma. But no karma is fixed—through sincere repentance, good deeds, and reciting Amituofo, we can change our destiny.”
This gave him a new sense of hope.
🙏 A Transformation Through Nianfo and Good Deeds
Determined to change his fate, the man followed Master Chin Kung’s guidance with complete dedication:
- 🕊️ He began chanting “Amituofo” for 8–10 hours a day, with full sincerity and faith.
- 💧 He repented deeply for his past mistakes, asking forgiveness from those he had wronged.
- 🥗 He became vegetarian, following the Buddhist principle of non-harming.
- 💝 He made generous donations to charities and Buddhist temples, believing that doing good could offset his negative karma.
- 📜 He copied Buddhist scriptures by hand, as an act of devotion and spiritual merit.
At first, his condition did not improve, but he persisted.
After one month, he noticed that his pain was less severe, and he felt more energetic. His family, who had been preparing for his death, was shocked by the changes.
After three months of continuous practice, he felt strong enough to walk and eat normally. Encouraged by this, he increased his practice and even began teaching others about Pure Land Buddhism.
✨ The Miracle: Full Recovery from Liver Cancer
After six months, he went for a medical check-up. The doctors were stunned—his late-stage liver cancer had shrunk significantly, and his liver function had improved. They could not explain how such an aggressive disease had reversed.
After one year of dedicated Nianfo practice, repentance, and good deeds, he went back for another scan.
🩺 His doctors found no trace of cancer. He had completely recovered.
🕊️ A New Life, A New Purpose
After this miracle, the man devoted the rest of his life to spreading the teachings of Pure Land Buddhism.
He visited hospitals, encouraging other cancer patients to practice Nianfo. He told everyone:
“I am living proof that Amitabha Buddha’s compassion is real. If you have faith, sincerely repent, and dedicate yourself to chanting, you can change your fate.”
His case was one of the many real-life examples that Master Chin Kung shared to show the power of faith, karma transformation, and the incredible vow of Amitabha Buddha.
