  Dear forumers,

   

  Happy lunar new year to all.

  Have some questions that I need advise

  Basically, I am a person with shizophrenia and I began to hear sounds roughly one year ago.

  I couldn't control my thinking and I had evil thoughts in my mind.

  My friends tell me its "Ye Zhang" and its my karma.

  These evil thoughts include damaging Buddha statues, scolding Buddha, anyhow talking about Buddhism, hurting people They are only thoughts and I have not done any thing as the above.

  I have just recovered and I began reciting the great compassion mantra roughly 6 months ago.

  I found this forum and read that having these thoughts and scolding buddha in my heart will lead me to avinci hell.

  May I know how do I save or do amendments to reduce the amount of karma. I don't wish to go to hell.

  Now I am going to go for spiritual enlightenment. Can anyhow point me to how to practise?

  Regards

  Gump

  BTW, you may like to grab a book by Eckhart Tolle, i.e. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.

  Would be a good read. Found in most major bookstores.
