4. Specification

 

Little Houses must be printed according to the template available on the official website of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. In order to ensure its effectiveness, the printing should be clear and complete, and not modified unnecessarily.

 

o The circles should be free of any visible black marks.

o The circles should not be oval in shape. All circles should be clearly separated from each other.

o If you use the Chinese version, the number below the circles should not contain the Chinese character “共 (total)” (refer to Figure 7).

o In the Chinese version, the title of each Buddhist scripture should not appear over multiple lines.

o Do not remove the printed borders from the Little House when cutting (refer to Figure 8).

o All Chinese characters that appear on the Little House must be in traditional Chinese instead of simplified Chinese.

o Font, format, positioning, spacing and size of the circles and words should not differ from the official version.

o You may fill in any imperfect circles or lines caused by a printing error with a black pen.
