Prayers, Images & Mantras
Dharma books contain the teachings of the Buddha.
They have the power to protect against a lower rebirth and to point the way to liberation.
Therefore, they should be treated with respect - kept off the floor and places where people sit or walk, and not stepped over.
They should be covered or protected for transporting, and kept in a high, clean place separate from more “mundane’ materials.
Other objects should not be placed on top of Dharma books and materials.
It it is necessary to dispose of Dharma materials, they should be burned rather than thrown in the trash.
When burning Dharma texts, first recite OM AH HUNG.
Then visualize the letters of the texts to be burned absorbing into the the AH, and the AH absorbing into you. After that, you can burn the texts.
These considerations may also be kept in mind for Dharma artwork, as well as the written teachings and artworks of all religions.
