Dear Master Lu, can I perform recitations while driving? I am a taxi driver and I have no time to perform recitations, can I recite while working?<\/p>\n
\u2022 There are advantages and disadvantages associated with reciting while driving.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Reciting while you are driving is not recommended as you may encounter trouble and attract foreign spirits. If we recite while driving at night, we may run over beings that we cannot see with our naked eyes.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 If you recite while driving, you may lose your concentration easily.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 When you drive, the tyres are pressed against the ground and are connected to the energy of the underworld. Therefore, the best effects occur when you recite on an airplane (after take-off).<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 The advantage of reciting while driving is that the wind blows as your car moves, and the messages from your recitations are thus transmitted at a higher speed. This in turn generates a good energy field.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 When you drive a taxi, you will encounter many people in a small space; hence, it is not a suitable environment for performing recitations.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 If you have no other options and must work long hours as a taxi driver, and the only chance for you to recite is during work, then it is fine for you to do so.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 During the daytime, you can recite the Heart Sutra and the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra while driving. However, avoid doing so at night.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Night time is when spirits are most active, and the surrounding energy field is not desirable. Mind-wandering while driving tends to attract foreign spirits to occupy your body. Hence, it\u2019s best to just recite the Great Compassion Mantra.<\/p>\n
