A Transformative Detox Experience

Recently, people are all talking about one story which is about Mrs. Wang’s whole body detox.

One of the most striking recent events at the DAMI New York Buddhist Hall was the intense detox experience of Ms. Wang. Reflecting on the history and context of this detox process has deepened our understanding of the origins of toxins within the body, the internal and external factors contributing to their accumulation, and the profound transformation enabled by the compassion of the Buddha. This case provides valuable insights into preventing and correcting life’s deviations and aligning with a healthier, more enlightened path.

On October 29, 2016, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, Ms. Wang left the DM New York Buddhist Hall. She could barely lift her head, her complexion was dark and pallid, and she had to be supported out of the hall by her husband. The physical toll of her detox and the damage inflicted by the toxins on her heart were clear to everyone present. Her left cheek was severely swollen, crusting over as if yellowish fluid had drained from it. This toxin, deeply embedded and insidious, left all who witnessed it deeply shaken, especially those encountering such a severe detox phenomenon for the first time.

As Ms. Wang rested outside the hall, the affected areas on her face began to ooze pus again. This dramatic scene revealed the life-threatening nature of the toxins within her body. Having known Ms. Wang for over two decades, I offer this personal account and analysis of her detox experience, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding not just our actions and speech but also our thoughts. Negative thoughts, particularly resentment toward those who genuinely care for us, can be as harmful as daily poisoning—harming not only oneself but also others.

The roots of Ms. Wang’s emotional struggles trace back to her marriage in 2003. Then nearing 30, she was considered a late-age bride, and her marriage prospects were uncertain. A group of well-meaning peers sought to help her resolve this issue. Eventually, she chose Mr. Wei, a man she admired for his demeanor and skill. Their union was supported and celebrated by the community, with everyone hopeful it would be a positive match.

However, over the years, their marriage was fraught with conflict, marked by endless arguments and emotional battles. Despite efforts by the Master and fellow practitioners to mediate, their relationship deteriorated into resentment and mutual blame. Rather than nurturing the “good karma” of their bond, they allowed their negative emotions to fester. Ms. Wang’s growing dissatisfaction turned into misplaced resentment toward the Master, fueled by external influences that encouraged her to rebel and harbor hatred.

In recent months, Ms. Wang began to feel the toll of her choices. Severe gastric issues disrupted her life, prompting her to reflect on her mistakes. Starting in May, she embarked on a path of repentance, supported by the Master’s compassionate guidance and an energy-infused blanket he provided. This catalyzed a profound detox process, purging the accumulated negativity and toxins from her body. The visible swelling and drainage on her face were only a fraction of the intense cleansing taking place throughout her system.
