When we waver between faith and doubt, we lack in sincerity. That’s when the sickeness demon takes the wind again.
It is good if you feel that it occasionally it gets worsened after you seem to have recovered somewhat. It is time to test how firmly you place the faith in it.
As long as we remain unwavering in our faith, and keep reading the Buddhist scriputre, soon the disease shall say goodbye to you. Many lose faith in front of the challenge. They fail to place firm faith the the power of the Buddha Dharma!
As we know, we only evoke the response from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas when we show single-minded sincerity. Reading the Sutra of Longevity for a patient can relieve his or her suffering, without producing any negative impact. However, it cannot address the root cause, the karma he or she had created.
Stay firm in your faith and unswerving even before death. If you can make it, the sickness demon shall be afraid of you, and be subdued. After all, you have to receive the retribtions yourself for the karma you have created. Nobody can share it for you. Otherwises, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would have taken the share which is your due away from you. There would not be the need to endure the hardship and cultivate the Way!
The Buddha Nature is inherent in all beings! The sentient beings that you take as food, and the lives you harm, though not powerful enough to kill you as they do not cultivate the Way, can certainly pester you all day to make you uncomfortable, either painful or itchy.
As the saying goes, it takes he who tied the bell on the tiger’s neck to untie it. You have to read the sutra and mantra yourself to get fully cured.
