PORTRAITS OF THE LIVING MAY BE SHREDDED

Caller: If we do not want to keep large portraits of people who are still alive, are we allowed to shred them?

Master Jun Hong Lu: You may shred them.

Caller: I have kept large photos from my wedding wrapped up for a couple of years. I wonder if I can shred them too?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Discard and shred them. Photos of the living are best to be small in size.

Caller: That’s right. Previously I was unaware and hung a large wedding photo on the wall. Afterwards, I took it down and stored it away for a couple of years. I intend to shred it.

Master Jun Hong Lu: If you didn’t take it down, there would be constant quarrels, and foreign spirits could also attach themselves to it.
