Question 32 

IT IS BEST TO PERFORM DAILY RECITATION FIRST BEFORE BURNING LITTLE HOUSE

Q: If we would like to burn the Application for Name Change(Gai Ming Shen Wen) and Little House at 8am, which one should we do first?

A: You may burn Little House and perform Daily Recitation in the morning.  However, performing Daily Recitation prior to burning Little House is more proper. The fact that you have invited Bodhisattva and performed your recitation of scriptures enhance your spiritual energy.  
Hence, burning Little House at this point is better. If you burn Little House early in the morning without performing your Daily Recitation, should foreign spirits approach and take the Little House,you will be prone to getting sick as your spiritual energy level is low. 
Therefore, offering Little House upon the completion of your Daily Recitation makes it more complete.
