PERFORMING RECITATION ON THE LANTERN FESTIVAL
Caller: Which Buddhist scripture should we recite on the Lantern Festival?
Master Jun Hong Lu: You should primarily focus on offering Little Houses on the Lantern Festival. You can consider setting aside more Little Houses to be offered on that day because it is exceptionally efficacious.
Caller: Does this mean that we should offer Little Houses dedicated to our karmic creditors?
Master Jun Hong Lu: You may offer to your karmic creditors, miscarried child or your deceased parents. On this special day, innumerable Bodhisattvas and the heavenly officials, who are tasked to take care of worldly matters, will descend to the human realm. Hence, it is better to reserve some Little Houses recited in these two days and offer them on the 15th day of Lunar New Year, as it will help eliminate your karmic obstacles expeditiously.
Caller: Should we recite Gong De Bao Shan Shen Zhou on the Lantern Festival?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, if you have been performing many kind deeds, you must recite Gong De Bao Shan Shen Zhou. You should also recite Cundi Dharani.
Caller: Okay, got it.
