(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)
CAN WE PRAY TO BODHISATTVA TO HELP CONVERT THE EXTRA NUMBERS OF SUTRA/MANTRA RECITED FOR LITTLE HOUSE INTO DAILY RECITATION?
Caller: Master Lu, I would like to seek Master’s advice on the appropriateness of an approach to prayer. If it is appropriate, other practitioners may follow suit. Let me explain.
Before I recite or dot on the Little House, I would say a prayer, ‘May the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva have compassion on me. For the four mantras which I have recited, namely the Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra, Wang Sheng Zhou and Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan, please help and bless me by counting the better quality ones for the Little House and the excess to be treated as part of my daily recitation.’ Is this an acceptable method?
Master Jun Hong Lu: The problem is, you wouldn’t be able to tell the good from the bad ones, would you?
Caller: I will always recite extra numbers of the Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra, Wang Sheng Zhou and Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Then you may say so provided you have recited extra numbers. Let’s say, if you recite 27 or 49 times, you may say to bless and count the better quality ones for the Little House and the excess are to be treated as your daily recitation. This is fine. In fact, a person who adopts this method is wiser.
Caller: Thank you Master. After I state such prayer, I feel that the quality of the Little House is ensured.
Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s for sure.
Caller: Thank you Master for your advice.
