Metaphysics Q&A 135 – Purchasing a new car
http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-135/
Q135: Hi
Master Lujunhong, what should we be aware of when we purchase a new car?
A135:
- It is best to avoid selecting silver for the colour of your car, as silver is the colour of the underworld, and it attracts foreign spirits. The probability for accidents is higher for silver cars.
- Red is also not recommended. Sometimes, without the protection and blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, red cars can attract trouble and obstacles. This is similar to how red lights represent alarms and warnings.
- For people who are learning Buddhism and cultivating their minds, the choice of colour is for reference only. Most importantly, you should perform recitations mindfully and sincerely.
- After you have made the purchase, it would be good to quietly play the Great Compassion Mantra (Ta Pei Chou) in your new car.
- In the car, you can also place a charm or an image of Buddha or Bodhisattva that has been blessed by Master Lu. Please place the image so that the Buddha or Bodhisattva is facing the inside of the car, where the driver and passengers can see.
- It is not recommended to hang bells in the car, as the sound of bells can easily attract foreign spirits.
- If there are foreign spirits occupying the car, you can recite 4 Little Houses and address them to the “Karmic Creditor of the car of <full name of the driver>”.
