DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OF SOMEONE WHO’S ASLEEP

Master Jun Hong Lu's Discourse (Question 220)
12 April 2018

Question:  If you take a photo of someone sleeping, will it cause their soul and spirit to separate?

Answer: Indeed, a person’s soul and spirit can become divided if you take a photo of them while asleep.  Also, young children should not be exposed to excessive camera flashes. It’s not advisable to take photos of people sleeping, as it can appear as though you’ve taken a photo of a dead body.  Don’t people look as if they’re dead when sleeping?  Taking photos of this nature can lead to misfortune for all involved.
