THERE IS NO SPECIFIC WAY TO RECITE LITTLE HOUSES. ONE SHOULD RECITE THEM NATURALLY, AND WITH NO PRESSURE

(Master Jun Hong Lu’s Call-In Radio Program)

Caller: Master Lu, in your previous discourse you mentioned we should apply a ‘wrap-around method’ when reciting Little Houses so as to empower each type of prayer with the Great Compassion Mantra. A fellow Buddhist friend would like to ask, if he is reciting 5 or 3 Little Houses at the same time, is it suitable for him to perform several hundred recitations of a particular type of sutra, for example, a few hundred times of the Heart Sutra, and then move on to several hundred times of the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra?  Which method is better?

Master Jun Hong Lu: The best way is not to put yourself under pressure when performing recitations. Otherwise, the quality of recitation will be compromised.

Caller: So, we may adopt the method we find most comfortable, as long as we are behaving naturally?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Exactly.

Caller:  Alright, thank you Master Lu.
