Placing glassware and accessories at home~Master Lu Jun Hong

Metaphysics Q&A 059 –
Placing glassware and accessories at home

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-059/

Q059: Master LuJunHong, at home, we have a lot of glassware with shapes similar to trophies. Some have sharp edges, some have flat edges, and some are cylindrical. Would this affect our Feng-Shui, or the health condition of the family members living in the house?

A059:

• Generally, glassware decorations should not be taller than one metre. If they are taller than one metre then it is not so good.
• In particular, if the glassware has sharp edges, then it should not be too big. It is better to keep it small.
• Glassware that has the form of animals or human is not good, as it could easily attract foreign spirits.
• If you feel uncomfortable with the glassware, then it may be better to store them away.

Having the toilet door closed at all times~Master Lu Jun Hong

Metaphysics Q&A 010 – 

Having the toilet door closed at all times
http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-010/

Q010: I have a question to ask Master JunHongLu. You mentioned that we must always keep the bathroom door closed. If we close the door there is no airflow, then when we open the toilet door the air is very stuffy. As a result, we are now using the toilet with the door open. Do we need to close the door when we use the toilet? Some bathrooms have a small window, should we keep the window open? Some bathrooms also have ventilation fans, should we keep them on? When there is no air circulation, the air is still stuffy even if we open the window. We often hang our washed clothes in the bathroom to dry, is it alright to do so? Would the negative energies become attached to our clothes? My questions are quite ignorant, but I ask Master Lu for guidance. Thanks and take care!

A010: 

• The bathroom door should be closed at all times (including when you take a shower or bath and when you use the toilet). You mentioned that the air is stuffy when the door is always kept closed. It means that the bathroom has been affected by negative energies, and these energies have been trapped in the bathroom. It is better to keep these negative energies inside the bathroom than releasing these energies to the rest of the house.
• You can place an air freshener in the bathroom, and one in the toilet. They are not expensive and will improve the quality of the energy field.
• You can open the window and leave the ventilation fan on in the bathroom (you should close the window at night time).
• If you hang your clothes in the bathroom, the negative energies will become attached to your clothes. It is best not to drink or boil water from the bathroom tap. The negative energies will affect the molecular structures in the water and make you unwell.
• You can place a landscape painting above the bathroom door on the outside. If the space between the door and the ceiling is too small, you can also place it on the wall on either side of the bathroom door.

Children having romantic relationships at a young age~Master Lu Jun Hong

Metaphysics Q&A 123 – 

Children having romantic relationships at a young age

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-123/

Q123: Hi Master Lu Jun Hong, my son is in year 12. Recently, he has been frequently texting and calling a girl, and his suspicious behaviour indicates that this is not just a normal friendship. He would not listen to me, what should I do?

A123:

• First all, parents should not forcefully interfere with their children’s relationships, as each person has his own karma.
• However, if children start having romantic relationships at a young age, and you are concerned that their academic performance would be affected or that they would commit wrongdoings, then as parents you should still discipline them appropriately. Through performing recitations, you can sincerely ask Guan Yin Bodhisattva to help you to discipline your children.
• To help your son, you can include the following sutras and mantras in the Daily Recitation that you perform for him:
  • The basic recitation should include the following: the Great Compassion Mantra (Ta Pei Chou) 3 times per day, Heart Sutra (Hsin Ching) at least 7 times per day, and Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance (Li Fo Ta Chan Hui Wen) twice per day.
  • You can recite the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots (Chieh Chieh Chou) 21 times per day. Please note that it is best to avoid reciting the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots excessively. It is strongly recommended that you do not try to change the causality of your children or forcefully separate a couple.
  • You can recite the Sri Devi Dharani (Ta Chi Hsiang Tien Nu Chou) 21 times per day. The effects of reciting the Sri Devi Dharani include experiencing good fortune and maintaining relationships. You can say the following prayer, “May the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva protect and bless <full name of your son>, so that he will have a good relationship.” A “good relationship” means a relationship that does not affect his academic performance or take him on the wrong path, or is delayed until later in life.
  • In addition, you can recite the Cundi Dharani (Chun Ti Shen Chou), and sincerely ask Guan Yin Bodhisattva to protect and bless your child so that he would perform well in his studies.

Wedding preparations~Master Lu JUn Hong

Metaphysics Q&A 143 – 

Wedding preparations

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-143/

Q143: Master Lu Jun Hong, I am about to get married. From a metaphysics perspective, what should we be aware of?

A143:

• It is best to have the wedding on a date that is an even number.
• You should be mindful of your speech before you have the wedding, and after you have moved into your new place. As a Buddhist cultivator, you should be respectful in your speech and actions.
• Your new place should not be disorganised. It should be clean and tidy. It would be beneficial to have more visitors.
• You can recite 7 Little Houses and address them to the “Karmic Creditor of the house of <full name of the occupant>”.
• In your new place, you can place landscape paintings of water and mountains, as they will bring you a good energy field.
• You can place your enlarged wedding photographs in your living room for one week or longer, but it should be less than one month.
• In the bedroom, it is best to avoid placing photographs of both of you together. You can have individual photographs of each person.
• It is best to have a vegetarian wedding banquet. If this is not possible, you should try your best to avoid the killing of live creatures. If this absolutely cannot be avoided, then you would need to recite the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra (Wang Sheng Chou) as much as possible. It would be best if you also recite the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance (Li Fo Ta Chan Hui Wen).

How to Resolve Conflicts in Marriage/Relationships?~Master LuJunHong

Metaphysics Q&A 003 – 

How to Resolve Conflicts in Marriage/Relationships?

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-003/

Q003:

Dear Master LuJunHong: How do we resolve a couple’s conflicts or conflicts in marriage? Chinese fortune tellers would say that such incompatibility could be predetermined. As a follower of your Buddhist practice— Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, I recite Buddhist scriptures as you instruct. But I still can’t wrap my head around the issue.  I recite the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots (Chieh Chieh Chou) every day, but still hope that you could give me a prescription for this problem.  Such “predetermined incompatibility” in relationships seems so destructive that I’ve seen many couples around me breaking up because of this.

A003:

“Predetermined incompatibility” in marriage relationships does exist. If you confirm that a husband and his wife are indeed incompatible with each other based upon the reading after matching the husband’s date of birth with that of his wife (a Chinese fortune-telling practice), you could consider the following methods to resolve the conflict:

• First, it’s recommended that the couple sleep in different rooms.

• Each person should recite the Mantra to Untie Karmic Knots (Chieh Chieh Chou) 21 to 49 times per day to resolve karmic conflicts.

• The effectiveness rate of resolving a couple’s conflicts by reciting the following sutras and mantras could be 50% (actual results vary from person to person):

1. Recite the Heart Sutra (Hsin Ching) for each other 7 to 21 times per day.
2. Recite the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance (Li Fo Ta Chan Hui Wen) to repent and eliminate the karmic obstacles that lead to the conflicts in marriage/relationship.

If the situation has not been turned around after using all of the above methods for a while, you will need to recite Little Houses (Hsiao Fang Tzu) for each other.  Address the Little Houses to the “Karmic Creditor of <your partner’s name>”. You can recite more Little Houses if required.

Walking under trees at night~Master LuJunHong

Metaphysics Q&A 014 –

 Walking under trees at night

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-014/

Q014: Master JunHongLu, when I walk home at night I often walk under trees. Recently, I have been feeling scared so I started to recite theGreat Compassion Mantra (Ta Pei Chou) while walking. I don’t know why.

A014: 

• Trees have “Yin” energies rather than “Yang” energies. In Chinese, there is a saying, “green trees connect together to form “Yin” energies”. When the heat from the sun is strong, people go under trees to avoid the sun. What they are actually doing is avoiding “Yang” energies by hiding under a “Yin” object. It is alright to be under trees while the sun is out during the day.
• At night, it is best not to be under trees, since night time is already full of “Yin” energies.
• Generally, people who are cultivating and performing recitations would not be too affected by this situation.
• When you walk under trees at night, you can recite the Great Compassion Mantra. It is best to avoid reciting aloud, as it may attract unnecessary trouble.

Moving house~Master JunHong Lu

Metaphysics Q&A 040 – Moving house

http://guanyincitta.com/en/q-a-040/

Q040: Hi Master LuJunHong, I am moving soon. Is there anything I should do before I move into my new place?

A040: 

• It is best to move on a Saturday and ensure that there will be someone at home the following day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are also suitable.
• You should invite your friends to come to your new place and have a housewarming session to bring in positive energies. The more the merrier.
• If you are Buddhist, you can play the Great Compassion Mantra(Ta Pei Chou) softly for 24 hours at your new place. The sound from the television or radio has audio frequencies of human voices, which contains human energies. You can have them switched on whenever the house is vacant.
• At the same time, you can recite the Great Compassion Mantra yourself.
• If you have an altar at home and you are making offerings and paying respects to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas every day, you should first invite the statues and images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to your new place. At your old place, make an incense offering and wait until the incense has finished burning, then you can invite the statues and images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas down from the altar and wrap them with red coloured materials (e.g. red paper or red fabrics). It is important that when you arrive at the new place, you place the statues and images of Buddhas and Bodhisattva on the altar first, and then you make incense offerings with 3 incense sticks. Recite the Great Compassion Mantra 7 times and the Heart Sutra 7 times, make full prostrations, and say the following prayer, “Sincerely invite the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to come to our new place, please continue to protect and bless me, <full name>, and my family. We will mindfully and sincerely cultivate our minds.” It is better to relocate your altar before you move the rest of your belongings.
• When you relocate your altar to a new place, the statues or images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not require another blessing ceremony. This is because Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have already visited the statues and images. When you move to a new place, you are just temporarily not making incense offerings. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would not be there while you are moving. Once you have moved to your new place, you can continue to make incense offerings, and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would come and visit again. Therefore, these statues or images do not require another blessing ceremony.
• If you have dreams about the previous owners of the house and they are deceased, you should recite 4 to 7 Little Houses(Hsiao Fang Tzu), regardless of whether you know them or not. Address them to the “Karmic Creditor of the house of <full name of the occupant>”.
