Dear Master Lu, what should we be aware of when we purchase a new car?<\/p>\n
\u2022 It is best to avoid selecting silver for the colour of your car, as silver is the colour of the underworld and tends to attract foreign spirits. The probability for accidents is higher for silver cars.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Red is also not recommended. Sometimes, without the protection and blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, red cars may bring you trouble and obstacles. This is similar to the fact that red lights represent alarms and warnings.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 For Buddhist practitioners, the choice of colour is for reference only. Most importantly, you should perform recitations diligently.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 After you have purchased a car, it is a good idea to play the Great Compassion Mantra at a low volume inside your car.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 You can also place a small image of the Buddha or Bodhisattva that has been blessed by Master Lu inside the car. However, you should fix it into position instead of letting them dangle in the car. Place the image facing inwards in the car so that the driver and passengers can see the image of the Buddha or Bodhisattva.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 It is not recommended to hang any bells in the car, as the sound of bells can easily attract foreign spirits.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 If there are foreign spirits occupying the car, you can recite 4 Little Houses and address them to the \u201cKarmic Creditor of the car of <full name of the driver>\u201d.<\/p>\n
