What demerit did her younger sister make with her husband that caused her to be shot and paralyzed for 30 years? Her husband died in 2006 from a heart attack. Where did he go?

Dhamma teachings were heard through the whole house including the morning and evening chanting and the Cetiya’s homage paying.
