Metaphysics Q&A 123 –
Children having romantic relationships at a young age
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.
