My name is Tze Jian, but all my friend call me TJ. I’m writing because I want to let you know some good news.

This happened around the time I was going to polytechnic and things weren't going so well. My excuse of a dad was beating my mother – come on, I’m not blind okays – and he always stank of alcohol. Then sometimes when my mother asked me to help her do laundry because she was in pain, I also smelled some perfume on his clothes.

My mum is not wasteful so she never buys perfume so I think my ‘dad’ got the smell from someone else. Anyway my mum could not do anything because she never finished school. So she scared to leave him because after that, how would she take care of herself? And also how would she take care of me? So she just tolerated and hoped it would get better one day.

I complain to my mum but I thought she was talking a lot of nonsense coz she asked me to be patience and forgive my father. How can I forgive the man who hurt our family like that?!?!! I always think I wish he go to hell. I am quite shame now because he is still my father so I shouldn’t think bad like that about him. But anyway the fact is the fact and at the time I think like that.

Anyways there was no one to help me. So my friend told me about this dharma centre in Geylang and I go there to ask for help. The monk there talk about karma and I thought what kind of nonsense is this!!! Then he asked me to do this practice so I do, coz I mean what is there to lose right.

"After I start chanting then my mum become a bit more brave. She secretly go and get a jobs, then one day she also report my dad to police. They take him away, and now he is in alcohol rehabilitation." ~ TJ

This is how Dorje Shugden had helped me.
