CAN SELF-CULTIVATION RECORD FORM OF _EIGHTY-EIGHT BUDDHAS GREAT REPENTANCE (LIFO)_ BE POST-DATED TO ITS OFFERING DATE?

(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)

Caller:  Master Lu, you mentioned before that under special circumstances, the _Little House_ can be post-dated to the day that it will be made effective. I would like to ask if the same can be applied to the Self-Cultivation form of _LIFO_?  For example, Chinese New Year is around the corner, there are some Buddhist friends who will be away, either to their relatives’ house or return to their home town, and there is no Buddhist altar.  Can they date the Self-Cultivation Form of _Lifo_ as February 15, and offer them today?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  The same rule applies.  That’s considered post-dated, just like a cheque. However it is best to write an earlier date.

Caller:  That’s right.  Master, you mentioned before that this is applicable to the _Little House_. 

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Yes. 

Caller:  There are many Buddhist friends who will be returning to their home town for Chinese New Year, where there is no Buddhist altar and they may not be able to recite that many scriptures then.  Under such circumstances, they may post-date the Self-Cultivation Forms to a future date, and offer them earlier. Is that alright, Master?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  That’s alright.
