Mary Bandara was raised Buddhist in an Asian country. For many years,
she trusted in the beliefs of that worldview to somehow overcome her
mental and emotional suffering. However, the necessity of being born
into this world numerous times before escaping the cycle of rebirths
caused her great anxiety and depression. Nirvana seemed an unreachable
goal. Then in 1996, she heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encountered
the true and living God. Her life was miraculously transformed.
