Metaphysics Q&A 057 – Reciting and burning Little Houses at night or during bad weather
Q057: Master Lu, many of us have the following question: We are unsure if we can recite the Little House (Hsiao Fang Tzu) at night, and on cloudy or rainy days? Can we burn the Little Houses at night, and on cloudy or rainy days?
A057:
First of all, recitation of the Heart Sutra (Hsin Ching) and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra (Wang Sheng Chou) at night can easily attract foreign spirits to come and take the merits. It is best to recite the Heart Sutra and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra during day time and on sunny days. However, this does not apply to the Great Compassion Mantra (Ta Pei Chou) or Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani (Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan).
In good weather, you can recite the Heart Sutra and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra before 10PM.
On a cloudy or rainy day, you can recite the Heart Sutra and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra during day time. However, during extreme weather, including heavy rain, thunderstorm, and lightning, it is best not to recite the Heart Sutra and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra.
In addition, if you feel that you are physically weak, and you experience discomfort after you recite the Heart Sutra and Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra, then it would be best for you to stop reciting these at night time and on cloudy or rainy days.
The best times for burning the Little House are 6AM, 8AM and 10AM in the morning, as well as 12PM and 4PM in the afternoon. Any other times during the day on a sunny day would also be suitable for burning the Little House.
For special circumstances, e.g. if the Karmic Creditor is being very demanding or a person is suffering from severe illness, and you need to burn Little Houses on a cloudy or rainy day, then it would be best to burn the Little Houses during noon time (i.e. around 11AM to 1PM) when the “Yang” energy is at its peak.
It would be best to avoid burning the Little House during night time.
