WHEN ENTANGLED IN A MESS DURING THE ‘3, 6, 9 PREDESTINED CALAMITIES’ PERIOD, HOW SHOULD WE FINE-TUNE OUR DAILY RECITATION?
Question: Some Buddhist practitioners notice that during their zodiac year of birth (Ben Ming Nian in Chinese) or the ‘3, 6, 9 predestined calamities’ period, for some reason, they will find themselves stuck in a quagmire where they seem to lose momentum in their spiritual cultivation, hardly able to recite any Little House, and they lack self-confidence. In this regard, I would like to seek Master’s guidance as to how we can snap back from this condition?
Answer: Recite more Great Compassion Mantra because it helps strengthen willpower. They can also recite more Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance (LIFO) to eliminate their karmic obstacles. These are the primary Buddhist scriptures to recite. Having said that, they can supplement their recitation with the Heart Sutra because it can help regulate their mindset.
For inner peace, recite more Heart Sutra. When you are apprehensive or feel like losing all sense of security, step up on your recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra. On the other hand, if you are constantly beset by a sense of remorse or guilt, you may recite more LIFO. When you complete the recitation of all these sutras/mantras, you will feel much better.
