Metaphysics Q&A 143 – WEDDING PREPARATIONS

Q143: Master Lu, 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 disorganized. 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).
