(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)
WHEN MAKING VOW TO RECITE LITTLE HOUSES FOR OTHERS, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAYING “I SHALL RECITE FOR SOMEONE” AND “I WILL HELP SOMEONE TO RECITE”
Caller: When we make vow to offer Little Houses to the deceased, is it better to say, “I will offer the deceased <full name>, (x) number of Little Houses” or “I will help the deceased <full name> recite (x) number of Little Houses”. Is there a difference between these two statements?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, there’s a difference. When you state “I will help him”, the deceased will certainly not look you up because you made it clear that you are only extending your help. On the other hand, if you state “I will offer xxx…”, in the event it is insufficient, you will have to offer more.
Caller: So the statement which says “I will help recite (x) number of Little Houses for the deceased <full name>” is to be used?
Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s right. Many people are not careful with their words. Their carelessness in speech may cause them problems in their future life.
Caller: I understand. We have to be as careful as treading on thin ice. If a living person is to recite for their own karmic creditors, does the same apply?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes.
