Lumbar Disc Herniation: Etiology and Recovery

Abstract Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) is a common and debilitating condition that often persists or recurs despite conventional medical treatments. It imposes substantial physical, psychological, and social burdens on patients. Modern medicine can offer temporary relief through conservative therapy or surgery, but these approaches do not address the deeper karmic causes that underlie LDH, such as killing karma and the attachment of spirits (souls of deceased humans or animals), which can lead to ongoing suffering and relapse. This paper presents nine key teachings from Dharma Master Jun Hong Lu and seven case studies demonstrating that practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door (心灵法门) through Three Golden Buddhist Practices – making vows (许愿), reciting Buddhist scriptures (念经), and performing life liberation (放生) – enables patients to eliminate karmic obstacles and achieve complete recovery from LDH. This article proposes a novel, profoundly effective pathway for healing LDH that transcends conventional medical approaches.
