Answer
Hi Junu,

First, Buddhists don't practise black magic.  There are those who practise it and call themselves Buddhists.  This is not correct.  Buddhists are followers of the Buddha.  We follow the teachings of the Buddha, which have nothing to do with black magic.

There are people who claim to have healing powers. Some are genuine.  But there are also many bogus "healers" who prey on the ignorance.  They are just conmen.

As for your "problem" I am sorry I am not able to provide any help.  I am here to answer questions on Buddhism.

Take care,

Justin Choo
