Taboo of copying the Heart Sutra

First, clean hands.

Before copying the scriptures, examine the purpose and motivation of copying the scriptures, and imagine that this meaningful activity will bring great blessings to you and the six sentient beings. In the process of copying the scriptures, copying and reciting will give you and the six sentient beings the greatest blessing. Make a clear and beautiful wish before copying the scriptures. Because the scriptures are sacred, you must wash your hands before copying the scriptures.

The environment for copying classics should be kept clean and tidy. If you copy classics on the table, you should first clean up other things on the table and create a sacred and independent environment.

This can always remind us that copying classics requires your whole heart, and don't think about worldly things that have nothing to do with copying classics. If you have distractions when copying classics, please bring your thoughts to the moment when copying classics in time. It is better to burn incense, light candles or offer flowers when copying scriptures.

Second, we should concentrate, which is the most important goal of writing scriptures.

Everyone should concentrate on writing scriptures, not like some people wearing headphones when writing scriptures, or even some people talking and eating while writing scriptures. None of this is good. You should be able to concentrate. Buddha said that if we make up our minds to do everything, we can concentrate on doing one thing well and then finish it.

Don't use two things at a time, or use many things at a time, so you may not finish one at the end. So what I just said is concentration, which is the most important goal of writing scriptures.
