(English subtitles) 臨終助念人數愈多愈好嗎? Buddhist Master Chin-Kung (淨空法師), 1927-2022, talks dharma.

The next question: To help chant for the dying person, Should people be as many as possible?, or should we strive to be pure and quiet and only notify a few people? If we are just worried about the trouble caused by the large number of people, is this idea appropriate? Will it cause karma?
There should not be too many people when help recite the Buddha for rebirth. If there are many people, divide them into shifts. It is best to have 4 people in front of the dying patient. In Buddhism, 4 people are called a mass, which is a group. It should not be too many people, as too many people will be disturbing and have a bad magnetic field. You must understand this.

they can recite it in the chanting hall and transfer the merit to him. Do not in his room, that's fine. In the past, in Taichung, when our Teacher Li was reborn. there were a few students in front of him who often took care of him.
But there were 600 people in the Chanting Hall, and they had been chanting for 49 days, day and night without interruption. I was very happy when I saw it. It was probably unprecedented in Taiwan. It was a real blessing. 600 people recited it for 49 days, day and night, can they bear it? No. When this person gets tired of reciting and leaves, someone else will take his place. There are too many students, tens of thousands of people.

There are only 600 seats in the Buddhist chanting hall, and many people were outside. When seeing one coming out, another went in and took a seat. This is the fruit of the teacher’s 38 years of teaching in Taichung. It is unparalleled.
