Q: Master Lu, can two people recite one Little House together? For example, I recite the Great Compassion Mantra and the Heart Sutra, whereas my husband recites the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra and the Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan. Is this appropriate?
A:
- Two people can recite one Little House together. They can also recite any of the four types of sutras and mantras for the Little House together.
- Before you begin reciting the Little House, you should each write your full name down in the field labelled “Offered by” on the left-hand side of the Little House.
- As a result, both of you will accumulate merits and virtues
- However, it would be best to perform the recitations separately.
