*IS IT CONSIDERED IMPROPER TO RECITE LITTLE HOUSES WHILE DOING HOUSEHOLD CHORES?*

Caller: Can we recite _Little Houses_ while doing household chores? Is it considered improper?

Master Jun Hong Lu: No, it is not considered improper. Most importantly, you have to concentrate while reciting _Little Houses_. If you recite _Little Houses_ while doing household chores, as long as you do so with a sincere mind and avoid any mistake, you will still be able to gain virtues.

*PERTAINING PRAYER TO BE SAID AFTER PERFORMING DHARMA DANA ON-LINE*

Q: After performing Dharma Dana through sharing Buddhism on the internet, should a person add an endnote by saying, “May Guan Yin Bodhisattva bless all who see this article, may they be able to eliminate their karmic obstacles and gain wisdom”. By doing so, will it deplete the virtues of the person who perform this Dharma Dana?

A: No, it won’t. This pronouncement is good. In fact, you can add on another statement, “Today, I have performed Dharma Dana on-line. Should there be any improper representation, may Guan Yin Bodhisattva have mercy on me and forgive me". In such a way, you will be all right. These are the things that you should be aware of.

*QUESTION REGARDING HANGING THE GREAT COMPASSION MANTRA POSTER*

Caller: Please enlighten us Master Lu, you have mentioned previously that hanging the *_Great Compassion Mantra_* poster at home would help create positive energies. But, if the family members have not practised full vegetarianism, are they able to hang the poster in the living hall?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, you can.

Caller: Will it be disrespectful to the *_Great Compassion Mantra_* if not everyone in the family is vegetarian?

Master Jun Hong Lu: You cannot help it. You have no choice.

Caller: Oh, if given a choice, can it be hung inside the bedroom of a bachelorette? That is, to hang the poster inside the fellow practitioner’s bedroom.

Master Jun Hong Lu: You may do so as long as there is no sexual conduct in the room.

Caller: She is single.

Master Jun Hong Lu: That is alright then.

Caller: Can she hang it facing her feet or hang it above her headboard?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Both ways are incorrect. She can only hang it alongside the bed.

Guan Yin Citta helps my mom be free from the Six Realms of Rebirth
By Huang Lianzhu from Singapore

My deepest gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!  Deepest gratitude to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and all Heavenly Dharma Protectors! Deepest gratitude to Master  Jun Hon Lu!

To begin with, I would like to repent to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu and ask for  forgiveness for not being able to fulfill my filial duty as a daughter to my mother.
Today I would like to share my experience of how Guan Yin Citta has saved my mother many times and finally helped her liberate herself from the Six Realms of Rebirth.

Since practising Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, Guan Yin Bodhisattva has been blessing me and my mother. Whenever  my mother encounter difficulties , I would receive  warnings in my dreams. I also managed to get through to Master Lu’s radio programme where I was given blessings and guidance.

In October 2012, three months after practising Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, I dreamed about my mother and a specific year. Master Lu explained to me that the dream indicated that my mother was left with a lifespan of two years. He advised me to liberate captive lives and recite 49 times of  sutra every day in order to extend her lifespan. It was tough because I was a beginner in sutra recitation. In addition to performing my own daily recitation, helping my karmic creditors and miscarried child go to better spiritual realms by reciting sutras, I also had to do daily recitation on behalf of my mother and offer 3 pieces of Little Houses a week to her karmic creditors, but I never thought of giving up.

My mother suffered from severe blockage of blood vessel sin 1999. She had heart bypass operation and she was prescribed with 20 pills daily. She reduced the dosage to 8 pills a day after I did the daily recitation and offered Little Houses on her behalf. This has greatly boosted my confidence!

My mother was hospitalized for lung pleural effusion in 2013. I was lucky to get through to Master Lu’s line again in the second half of 2013, Master Lu told me that 3 pieces of Little Houses a week was not enough and I had to increase to 7to 10 pieces of Little Houses. Since then my elder sister and I started to recite 21 times of Great Compassion Mantra, 49 times of Heart Sutra, 5 times of Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance, 49 times of Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra, 49 times of Jvala Mahaugra Dharani and 49 times of Arya Amitayur Niyama Prabharaja Dharani every day for my mother until her passing. I would make up my mother’s daily recitation that I had missed if I happened to be busy serving as a volunteer at Master Lu’s dharma talks. We offered 10 pieces of Little Houses a week and never stopped .

I returned to visit my mother in the hometown in October 2014. I found that she often acted strangly due to her worsening dementia. Master Lu told me on telephone that her lifespan had come to an end and some ghosts were pulling her away. Master Lu said that my mother would have passed away earlier if it had not been for the blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. In fact I knew that my mother’s lifespan was up. But I have made vows that I would bring her to Master Lu’s Dharma Talk in Penang  to share her experience the following year. I  vowed to offer 500 pieces of Little Houses to my mother’s karmic creditors and liberate 10,000 captive fishes as well as transfer the merits that I accumulated from Master Lu’s Dharma Talks between 2012 and 2015 to my mother. I had strong belief that Guan Yin Bodhisattva would save my mother! Thanks to the compassionate blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, my mother really got better in January 2015 and shared her experience at the Master Lu’s Dharma Talks in Penang together with me.

One morning in October 2015 I dreamed that my elder brother told me that my mother’s heart had stopped beating. Thanks to the compassionate blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I got through to Master Lu’s line on the same day. Master Lu told me that my mother had only a few days to live. My mother had suffered untold hardship in raising eight children and she was tormented by illnesses in her old age. I have been working in Singapore all these years and unable to attend to her. I will definitely help her to break free from the Six Realms of Existence and never suffer from agonies in this human realm! I beg Master Lu in tears to let me have enough of time to return home to attend to my mother in her last days. Master Lu promised. After hanging up, I prostrated and vowed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva that I would transfer 30% of all my merits to my mother. At the same time, I would keep liberating captive life for mother. I pleaded to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to avert calamities that would befall her and extend her life. .

On 6thFebruary, 2016, thanks to the compassionate blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, once again I got through to the line of Master Lu’s radio programme. Based on my mother’s Totem reading, Master Lu told me that she had come to the end of her life. I vowed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva in the Singapore Guan Yin Hall to transfer 10% of all my total merits as well as the merits accumulated from my voluntary service in the local Guan Yin Citta branch during the Spring Festival to my mother. Five days later, I received a phone call from relatives in Penang, Malaysia informing me that my mother was critically ill. I immediately booked an air ticket and left for Penang to see my mother. Thanks to the compassionate blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I managed to see my mother for the last time in her life.

We were by her side when she passed away, we kept reciting sutras for her. I sat by the coffin and kept reciting Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra, Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra, Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani, Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance and Amitabha Sutra. I prayed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to lead my mother to the Four Sagely Realms or the Western Pure Land of Amitabha, offered 49 pieces of Little House that I reserved for later use and 150 times of Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance to my mother. Her entire body was soft and her head was the last to cool off when we laid her into the coffin 15 hours after her passing.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all Buddhist Practitioners in the local Guan Yin Citta branch–Guan Yin Tang, who took great pains to recite sutras for my mother in the first eight hours of her passing. I would like to extend my appreciation to all overseas Guan Yin Citta practitioners who sent me their reserved Little Houses at a time I needed them most as well as to all brothers who recited reserved Little Houses for my mother during Master Lu’s dharma events! A total of 400 pieces of Little Houses were offered to my mother.

In the fourth week after my mother’s passing, I was compassionately blessed again when I got through to Master Lu’s line on his radio programme. Master Lu told me that my mother had reached Sravaka Arhats Realm, liberated from the Six Realms of Existence! No words could describe how grateful I am to Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu! If I had not chanced upon Guan Yin Citta, Dharma Door, I would have not been saved and my mother would not have been able to be free from the Six Realms of Existence and I would not have been able to fulfill my filial duty!

Guan Yin Citta is an orthodox school of Buddhism brought to us during this Dharma Decline Age with the aim of guiding us to clear our karmic debts and liberate ourselves from the Six Realms of Existence! There is no way I could repay the grace of the Buddha! I would like to appeal to Buddhist  friends to waste no time in practising Buddhism. Don’t wait until the hour of need. May all the practitioners of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door be fully committed to practising Guan Yin Citta Door and attain enlightenment in this lifetime and be liberated from the cycle of rebirth!

Deepest gratitude to the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!
Deepest gratitude to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Dharma Protectors!
Deepest gratitude to Master Jun Hon Lu!
Thank you everybody!

*A PERSON'S VOW OF BECOMING A FULL VEGETARIAN WILL BE AFFECTED BY UNINTENTIONAL CONSUMPTION OF NON-VEGETARIAN FOOD*

Caller: Master Lu, I heard in your previous programs that there were Buddhist friends who contravened their vows to practise vegetarianism unknowingly till you performed Totem reading on them. At times, due to the circumstances we are in, or when we are unaware, we may, as full vegetarian, consumed some foods that are impure. In cases where we were unable to get through to Master Lu’s hotline and we were also unsuspecting of such wrongdoings, is this considered as breaching of vow? Will it affect the vow we have made on becoming a full vegetarian?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Of course, it will affect the vow made. Regardless of whether you have done it intentionally or unintentionally, there will be resultant karma. To quote an example, you accidentally killed someone in an automobile accident this year. Will you be sentenced by the law? That's for sure, right?

Caller: Yes.

Master Jun Hong Lu: If you have done it intentionally, needless to say the outcome will be even more gravely.

Caller: I understand now. Thank you, Master, for answering my question.

*RECITATION OF ADDITIONAL _AMITABHA PURE LAND REBIRTH MANTRA_ FROM WINTER SOLSTICE TO THE THIRD DAY OF LUNAR NEW YEAR*

Q: In one of the radio program, it was mentioned that from this Winter Solstice till the third day of Lunar New Year, we could recite up to three batches of _*Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra*_ (Wang Sheng Zhou) daily (i.e. the first batch as our homework, and the subsequent two batches in the form of Self-Cultivation which are to be offered upon completion). This would help to eliminate karmic obstacles that were activated following the recitation of _*Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance*_ (Li Fo Da Chan Hui Wen). Can we apply this method as a long-term practice?

A: Actually, this method would still activate the negative karmas. _*Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra*_ could activate scattered spirits, whereas LIFO could activate major spirits. It doesn’t mean that by reciting _*Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra*_ you could evade the major spirits as you enter old age. There's no escape from what you owed. Hence, it's imperative to recite the LIFO diligently.

In the past, I had mentioned that LIFO is akin to apologizing to each and every department before totality of forgiveness can be attained. *_Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani_* (Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan) on the other hand, is like apologizing to the 7 managing departments. Thus, the power of LIFO is enormous.

_*Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra*_ is a mantra. The method of reciting three batches of such mantra daily is just like taking the easy way out. Yet, it is unable to replace LIFO and _Little House_ . Such method can only be treated as a one-off case and cannot be applied as long-term practice.

*PERFORM RECITATION DILIGENTLY WHILE IN GOOD HEALTH*

Caller: Some cancer patients encounter difficulties in performing recitation due to physical weakness, despite having a willing heart. In this case, how should they say their prayer requests to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, so that they can have the energy to recite _Little Houses_ for themselves?

Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s impossible. This is the case where karmic obstacles have erupted. You only pray for blessing after the eruption of your karmic obstacles, “My health is not good now and I could not perform recitation”, why can’t you recite diligently when you were in good health? The thing is, you did not recite diligently when you were healthy, and that’s why you are having poor health now. This karmic eruption will definitely make it difficult for you to perform recitation, and not being able to perform recitation is, by itself, another form of retribution. So you can only endure it as you are receiving your retribution.

*BEING A FULL VEGETARIAN IS GOOD FOR CAREER AND WEALTH LUCK*

Caller: Master Lu, a few days ago, there was a man who had his totem read by you where he asked you about his wealth luck. Master Lu asked him if he had turned full vegetarian. When he replied that he had already vowed to be a full vegetarian, Master Lu told him that he had been blessed doubly and also informed him that his wealth luck will be much more than destined. Master Lu, please enlighten us; firstly, he had vowed to be a full vegetarian, secondly, you had blessed him doubly resulting in an increase of his destined wealth luck. Did his merits for becoming a full vegetarian bring forth his wealth luck? Will making a vow to become a full vegetarian can also advance a person’s career?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes. When a person converted into a full vegetarian, his career and wealth luck will be good. There are some words I cannot tell you. You just need to look around; nowadays there are many big bosses who converted into vegetarians.

Caller: That is right.

Master Jun Hong Lu: So did many idealists. Therefore, you receive wealth luck occasionally because you do not kill livestock. A person who does not kill livestock will not leak wealth but instead will be able to accumulate wealth easily. He does not create negative affinities with animals and humans beings, so this type of people will have very good wealth luck. You think about it when you have a healthy body, will your luck not be good? Many people may have lots of money but became bankrupt because the monies are used to look after sick persons at home.

Caller: Yes it is so.

Master Jun Hong Lu: How can there be no relation in consuming vegetarian food? It is better than his destined wealth luck; he is accumulating merits and fortunes.

Caller: I understand now. Thank you for answering my question, Master Lu.
