有口臭或口气的人该怎样念经；念经之前可以吃口香糖

男听众：吃五辛的人嘴巴臭，念经效果打折。那有的人吃素了，但是他有口臭或者是口气，他念经的效果也会打折吗？

台长答：从道理上来讲应该也是有点打折的，但是这个要看菩萨慈悲了。如果你经常觉得自己嘴巴口臭的话，我觉得有一个方法，就是用意念跟菩萨念经。你嘴巴里有味道、有异味的话，你念经的时候就不要念得声音太响，不要气往外吐，你可以把声音往里边一边吸进去再吐出来，吸进去吐出来，这样的话你就等于把经文从你的脑部、从你的心里出来（师父，念经之前可以吃个口香糖吗？）完全可以。这个事情很简单，你供的香，香味是不是出来在空气当中形成一种气场？菩萨就是接这种气场的。臭得不得了的地方，为什么菩萨不来？因为这个气场。你今天嘴巴很臭，你噼里啪啦往外念，那是不是也有味道？所以你吃个口香糖念有什么不好？师父喉咙不好，吃了糖还开示呢，我没办法，一离开糖的话喉咙就干（明白了。谢谢师父的慈悲开示）
 

Buddhist practitioners who have bad breath can chew gum before performing recitations.

Caller: The effect of performing recitations will be greatly diminished if people consume the five pungent spices. For those who have adopted a vegetarian diet but have bad breath, will the effect also be diminished?

Master Lu: Theoretically, it will still be diminished a little. However, for this, you will have to seek Bodhisattva's compassion. If you always think that you have bad breath, I suggest you recite scriptures in your mind. When your mouth smells or stinks, you should not recite too loudly. Don’t exhale through your mouth. Place your voice inside while breathing in and out. This method is equivalent to reciting scriptures with them flowing out from your brain and heart.

Caller: Master Lu, can we chew gum before performing recitations?

Master Lu: Of course. This is simple. When you offer incense, doesn’t the pleasant scent form a positive aura? Bodhisattva connects with this kind of aura. Why doesn't Bodhisattva go to places where it is very stinky? Because of the negative aura. Today, you keep reciting scriptures with bad breath—doesn’t that stink? So, there is nothing bad about chewing gum before recitation. When giving speeches, even I eat herbal candy due to my throat issue. I just can’t avoid that, otherwise my throat would be dry.

Caller: I understood. Thank you, Master Lu.
