    I'm still 45 days strong of No Masturbation. But since yesterday, I keep watching scenes. Well, not exactly Porn but certain small censored sex scenes from mainstream movies and TV shows on Amazon Prime Video. I don't know, but it looks like my brain has became slave to porn(not exactly porn) without my conscience. I won't call it a relapse because I've not masturbated yet. And I'm strong I'm not going to masturbate. But, even without masturbating, why am I keep watching these intimate scenes from movies and TV shows? I'm not watching mainstream porn because Porn is basically sex trafficking and so I've decided not to support the Porn industry. But what about these scenes from movies and porn games? Mainstream movies involve Professional actors and those scenes are shot with their consent. And coming to Porn Games, those are animations created on computers. Somebody help me on what to do!!!

    Read this. This is the description of the effectiveness of this Dharani
    1. Ones who masturbate suffer bad fortune:

    Firstly, I would like to introduce myself, my name is An Pang, 18 yo. I used to masturbate for many years, at the present I have kept the precept of no sexual misconduct for several months. After making vow to abandon sexual misconduct, I usually set free animals, do good deeds to recultivate blessing (fortune).

    I remember the time I usually masturbated, I suffers many bad fortunes! Because I’m really interested in girl’s beauty since I was little, I desired too much. At the age of 12, I started masturbating, to satisfy myself. Elders people give advices to me, then I tried control myself but failed, masturbated again and again. Now I’m 18 yo. The time before, when I was studying, people looked down on me, considered me as a fool, a stupid boy. Then, because of the consequences of masturbation, I couldn’t effort to study. I left school and started learning a job, to become a worker. But my mind is so cloudy, featherbrained. Others just took one time to learn, but I took many times but still not learned. I worked for over one year, because of foolishness I was fired. The days after, I encountered a website “Great Compassion removes sufferings – precept of No sexual misconduct” and “The group of Great Compassion erase sufferings – Follow the Path of Light” that woke me up and deeply realized that the consequences of masturbation will come to not only me but also my father and mother. From then on, I strongly vow to be a good man, stop all sexual misconduct, change my life and also help others people through disseminating documents and sutras of “cause and effect” (the law of karma), encourage people to keep the precept of no sexual misconduct. The honest vow rose from a determined mind, “to be a pure, transparent man” helped me easily abandon the bad habit of masturbation.

    Once I had an opportunity to join the army before. But I masturbated too much, the health worsen, and I couldn’t take the health check. But since I have made vow to abandon masturbation, lucky came to me. My acquaintance, the son of my mother’s colleague, have an unexpected business. He couldn’t take health check to join the army to get a good career. Therefore his mother asked me to join the army. Actually, I didn’t meet the health requires, but I didn’t understand why people let me take part in army reverse, also considered as a troop, but not really professional as a regular troop. In the past I had a surgical treatment, so if I take part in regular army, I cannot endure any harsh and strict training. But I joined the army reserve, so main works to do daily is just taking care of weapons, and I even received 500 (Taiwanese) bucks each month without taking any harsh training. Moreover, if I stay in army reverse for one year, I can be transferred to the regular army without any strict examination, into the same force. The difference is when I join the regular army, I will be consider as an experienced troop while others will be consider as fresh men, either becoming a team head or just an ordinary team member will encounter no problem.

    Today I write this text, not with swanky intention, but to share with people that before keeping the precept of no sexual misconduct, people looked down on me wherever I go. But everything changed after I vow to purify myself only a few months. The army recruited only 10 men from my local area. Most of recruited men are sons or relatives of high officials. With my family background, I cannot take the position. But I was took up easily. Do you think it is weird? Then, I always keep determination in abandoning sexual misconduct, doing good deeds and avoid doing evil, and posting, giving advices to people to encourage them abandon sexual misconduct. I diligently recite the titles of Buddha, help others, ransom and set free animals, give alms, do many other good deeds. With the compassionate, happy and peaceful mind, I vow to abandon sexual misconduct for entire of my life. Now I’m living with great happiness. I would like to share my experience to you readers. Wish all of you can strongly abandon that bad habit.

    3. Masturbation make your life difficult:

    When I take a general view on my past, most are failures. The time before, girls were flirting with me, now I chase after them but no one care. I incidentally meet a website “The [Buddhist] precept of No sexual misconduct” on the internet, I learned many good things, realized: “Masturbation make life difficult, poor, fail in every work”. The website “Precept of No sexual misconduct” taught me about the consequences of masturbation, and also introduce to me the miracle of the Shurangama Mantra. I used to be an atheist, from the first sight, I just wanted to make a test. Every day before going to bed, I spent time to recite the mantra just one round. In spite of not understanding the meaning of words, the miracle appeared. Now, mostly full time I don’t have any sexual desire, or thought toward girls. Every time I encounter any scene of lovemaking or sexy girls on TV shows, I don’t have any libido. At first I thought I had Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). But after had a health check, a doctor laughed and told me that my health is absolutely OK at every aspect. So I stopped worrying. The time before, each time I encountered beautiful girls, desire rose, my mind was floating. But now in all situations, my mind doesn’t have any thought of sexual desire. I just observe the beautifulness of those girls as they appear. I have vowed to keep the No sexual misconduct precept, and have an ethereal life on both mind and body. Up to now, I have kept that precept for one month. But it cannot be called “keeping”, because my mind doesn’t contain those sexual thoughts, so lead to no commit. I no longer want that thing, so the precept is naturally being kept. Today, I incidentally measure my height, it increased. Now my height is 180cm. Moreover, in spite of the study program in Germany is consider difficult even to the German students, I passed input examination easily with very high score. It makes me really happy. My work is progressing smoothly. My friends introduced me to work as a interpreter for some large commercial companies, because I’m really good at foreign languages: English, French and German.

    I remember when I was still masturbating, because of it, my blessing was reduced, so I met difficulty when I was applying for jobs. I could only be a interpreter at restaurants. But since I have vowed to keep No sexual misconduct precept, determined to learn Buddhism, I found a really good position with amazing high salary. At least I can earn 10.000 euros per month. Since I have started to learn Buddhism, to be a virtuous man, my life changed so much! Now my body is athletic, my appearance is bright. When I was playing soccer, other players exhausted and crawled on the ground but my stamina was still full, didn’t feel tired. My memory has also become very good, because I can remember at least 80% when taking a look on any text. I’m confident, strongly believe I can graduate successfully, able to catch up my classmates, in spite of they have far surpassed me. Thanks to No sexual misconduct precept, my dignity restored, became virtuous, live with worthy of being a human and able to create a bright future as wishes.

    Sincerely share with you my valuable experience. Hope you my friends abandon all evil. Dear men and women, let’s keep the No sexual misconduct precept.

    Hello man.
    I feel you, quarantine can be hard in case of fighting with addiction, but you need to keep going.
    The question is, which path did you choose? No porn and masturbation? If the answer is yes, that's a relapse. It's not only about fapping, porn is the main issue. By watching that kind of stuff you stimulate parts of your brain which are directly related to porn use. You need to stop that if you want to reboot fully.
    Again man, it's the same shit, no matter if that's a computer generated animatons, or a couple of real people. Your brain may trick you with that kind of excuse to make you watch it, and get that precious dopamine boost again. It's bad for you and you should stop watch it. Period.
