What is the best way to have the gender of your child turn out as you wish?
The Universal Door Chapter of The Lotus Sutra states, “If women seeking sons make offerings and bow to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, they will give birth to blessed, virtuous, and wise sons. If they seek daughters, they will give birth to upright and handsome daughters who planted roots of virtue in previous lives and are sure to be loved and respected by all.”

Most people especially buy some meat or chicken to celebrate birthdays in the family; this creates negative karma. On birthdays, Buddhist disciples must recite sutras, chant the Buddha’s name, and be vegetarian. If you invite guests over to share a meal, you should serve vegetarian food. If you serve meat, you will inevitably kill many living beings. The massive karmic offenses will result in a shortened life.
