Master Jun Hong Lu’s Discourse
(Question 220)

IS IT APPROPRIATE TO PERFORM RECITATION WHILE EATING?
Question: Master has mentioned in one of the earlier radio programs that we can perform recitation while having our meals. Were you referring to the intervals between bites, or while chewing?
Answer: Of course, it is during the intervals between bites. How can you perform recitation, even if it’s in your mind while eating? Everything you do, you should do it single-mindedly and never be half-hearted. Otherwise, you will not have a good meal, nor will your recitation be proper. Just imagine how you look when your mouth is stuffed with food, and you are reciting the sacred Buddhist scriptures; are you really in such a rush?
