Ones reciting Buddha’s Name being the Buddha
Update: 13/01/2008
Many people say that Pure Land Sect is not defining. Some of them also chant with distraction, because they are lack of belief Meditation means reciting Buddha’s name and vice versa. Meditative practicing shows that their body is a Buddha. Even, they will forget themselves and the Buddha as well, because they always ask for them “who is reciting the Buddha’s name?â€
People who recite the Buddha’s name, surely will become a Buddha. They always seek for Buddha, so their destination certainly will become the Buddha. Ones who meditate say the impossibility is the Buddha because meditation is to search for Buddha. They do not accept themselves to be Buddha, as well as thingking the sentence “who reciting the Buddha’s name is†They always think of that means toward outside.
Reciting Buddha’s name means that returning to Buddha, returning to their mind, they do not need to look for toward outside.Buddha reciting means harmonizing Buddha with solidity, and they certainly will be born in the Pure Land Sect. When you remember Buddha, Buddha will do the same with you, too. The result is achievement of a Buddha. You don’t need study and search, only master to recite very well is right. Meditation also is good, but it has to be suffered. First, the practioners get pain their legs and knees. Second, they must observe themselves whether they clean up their thoughts? Medition is more difficult than reciting Buddha’s name; chanting of Buddha’s name is easier. You have not yet seen marvelous of reciting Buddha’s name.
I would like to tell you a sincere phrase: How I do everything with my mind full of delight is by reciting “Namo Amitabha Budha†such phrases in my sleeping, getting up, standing or any time. I also recite “Namo Amitabha Buddha†because He and I are only one!
