Metaphysics Q&A 040 – Moving house
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>”.
