Metaphysics Q&A 125 – PERFORMING RECITATIONS IN HOSPITALS

Metaphysics Q&A 125 – Performing recitations in hospitals

Q125: Hi Master Lu. I am taking care of my family member who is now in hospital. I heard that it is not recommended to perform recitations at hospitals. What should we do for our own Daily Recitation, the patient’s Daily Recitation, and the recitation of Little Houses? Does this mean that hospital staff should also not perform recitations at work?

A125:

For patients, it is best to recite the Great Compassion Mantra (Ta Pei Chou) as much as possible for as long as possible. Because patients would be physically weak, they should only recite the Great Compassion Mantra. They must not recite the Heart Sutra (Hsin Ching) or the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra (Wang Sheng Chou).
If you are a caregiver or hospital staff, you can recite any sutras and mantras other than the Heart Sutra and the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra. In addition, you should recite the Great Compassion Mantra as much as possible to protect yourself. You should also recite more Little Houses.
The “Yin” energy in hospitals is relatively severe, and the energy field is complex. Therefore, regardless if you are a hospital staff, patient or caregiver, it would be best if you could recite the Great Compassion Mantra as much as possible, and frequently recite Little Houses.
You can recite the Great Compassion Mantra and the Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani (Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan) for the Little House. Please avoid taking Little Houses to the hospital. You can keep track of the numbers that you have recited during the day and then put the red dots on the Little Houses later when you get home.
