Is it better to time or count the Buddha? Is it better to count and recite the Buddha or to recite t

It's best not to think about anything! Follow the feeling, miss it, stop if you don't want it. Counting and timing are forcing themselves, which makes them fall into the quagmire of attachment!

I've got the counts wrong, so what are you still reading? Whether it's chanting or mantras, you have to recite it clearly, if you forget how much you recite, it doesn't have much effect, if it's timed, then your heart is not divided into time, do you think this effect will be good? If you are afraid that you can't remember, you can use a pen to remember it, there are many ways but don't be distracted.

Reciting the Diamond Sutra is generally about fifteen minutes, and the proficient one or two minutes faster.

I personally think that the counter is a little sore when I press too much.

Recite the Buddha honestly, don't count the timers.

The main purpose of chanting the Buddha is to achieve the goal of not being confused, and the cumulative number is of little significance.

If counting is easily distracted, isn't the purpose biased?

Indeed, the purpose of reciting the Buddha is to have a pure mind, counting will be distracted, timing is easy to slack, easy to wander, think of your own way, what suits you is a good way, it is easy to get on the right track.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

It's better to keep track of the time. It's most convenient to set an alarm on your phone.

Don't remember anything I said, the word 'sincerity' is more valuable, and if you recite it 10,000 times a day with 'Seeking Buddha', it is not as good as the merit of a person who recites it once with 'heart'.

Sincerity + Counting.

There are special electronic counting machines that are cheap and easy to use.

Count: Think about the time it took you to recite the Buddha only once in an hour and the time it took to recite the Buddha's words a thousand times.

Four or six hours, never stopping.

Chanting can also be counted with rosaries, not necessarily with a chanting counter.

When practicing chanting Buddha, you need to write down how many times you chant each time to know if the set number has been reached, and the chanting counter will play this function.

It is impossible for a person to recite the Buddha for a long time, but he can remember how many times he has recited it.

Question: Is it better to recite the Buddha by counting or with a pure mind?

Venerable Da'an replied: For beginners, it is advisable to start by counting and reciting the Buddha, and the kung fu will gradually deepen, which will naturally correspond to the merits of the name of the Buddha, so that the mind tends to be pure. The minds of ordinary beings who begin to chant the Buddha are polluted, born and destroyed, and as long as they are within the scope of mental consciousness, they are not pure minds, and the true pure minds are to leave the mental consciousness.

The mind is the alayya consciousness, the mind is the seventh consciousness, and the consciousness is the sixth consciousness. The mind that has not left the mind, also known as the mind of all beings, is born and destroys the mind. I believe that if I wish to recite the Buddha, the heart that can be recited and the Buddha name that I recite are one, and the whole Buddha is the heart, and the whole heart is the Buddha.

With the mind of the Buddha into the non-life forbearance, settle on the immortal Dharma body, even if there is a certain degree of pure mind. When the Bodhisattva of Enlightenment still has a point of ignorance that has not been broken, it is not called the ultimate purity, and only the Buddha alone is the ultimate purity.

After understanding these stages of cause and effect, it is still necessary to start by honestly remembering and reciting the Buddha, at least 10,000 times a day, the more the better, reciting clearly, listening clearly, counting clearly, and writing down the daily number in the homework book. You don't have to pay attention to whether you have a pure mind or not, the realm of kung fu is a matter of course, and if you always think about it, it will become a burden. The Dharma of the Past Life is all based on the name of the faith, we will count the Buddha through the wish, and through the counting of the Buddha can increase our faith, it is by our people who count the Buddha so sincerely feel the blessing of the compassionate wish of Amitabha Buddha, and the Answer and Reform Brigade will make us transcend to the Western Pure Land.

The main purpose of reciting the Buddha is to seek rebirth, and as long as you achieve rebirth in the Western Elysium, you will be pure after all, because the Bliss Purification Bench is a pure dharma land with great blessings. In this world, it is very difficult for us to seek purity, because in this world of five turbidities, the entire environment and the hearts of all living beings are turbid, and we are in this turbid time and space, and we cannot help but be affected.

It is through the counting of the Buddha that you gradually attain a pure mind, not that you can get a pure mind by trying to have a pure mind. Therefore, we and other practitioners of pure karma should work counting and reciting Buddhas. Formulate the set course and number, complete it in accordance with the rules, and accumulate over time, and naturally become the food for the past.

Question: Donglin Temple, as the first ancestral court of the Pure Sect, seems to place special emphasis on counting and chanting Buddhas, such as the retreat of the Million Buddhas, the seventh Buddha of "May 1st", the seventh Buddha of "October 1st", and the prescribed number of daily recitations of Buddhas. Venerable Daan replied:

The method of counting and reciting the Buddha is the inheritance of the Chinese Pure Patriarch, which is based on the characteristics of the minds of sentient beings. Because of the fluctuating minds of ordinary people such as us, and the innate habit of laziness and slackness, and the fact that it is easy to get tired of reciting Buddha at the beginning, we often make all kinds of excuses for the laziness of not wanting to recite Buddha. Therefore, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and set a quantity, which is like assigning homework to a primary school student, and if he does not complete it, he will be punished the next day.

Such a mandatory number may make the recitation of the Buddha gradually on the track. In addition, this is also a necessary stage of chanting Buddha Kung Fu, which seeks quality by quantity. Without a certain number of recitations, it is impossible to attain the state of pure recitation.

You don't have to worry about whether your mind is pure or not, you just pay attention to the number of times you chant Buddha. In the number of one million, there may be a number of relatively pure Buddha names unexpectedly. This is a matter of course, unintentional.

Therefore, it is advisable to pay attention to counting and chanting Buddha. The ancients set the daily limit for the number of Buddha recitals to be 30,000, or 50,000, or 70,000, or 100,000. The base number is 30,000, which shows that the ancients were down-to-earth.

Now we have poor roots and live in this busy competitive society, so we advocate that the base number of daily recitation of Buddha is 10,000. If the 10,000 Buddha numbers are not guaranteed, it is difficult to say that they are true Buddhas. The 10,000 Buddha horns can be recited in about two hours.

24 hours a day, another two hours can always be timed. In addition, Donglin Temple in order to facilitate the work of the pure industry pedestrians chanting Buddha, specially in five.

First, eleven and two ** weeks organized Buddha seven, and the results have been good in the past two years. The institutionalized 10-day monthly million Buddha numbers and the day and night prayer of the Buddha have also benefited colleagues across the country. The Pure Land method is important in the unity of faith and vow, and the practice of reciting Buddha in a plain way is to implement and increase faith, and thus make the recitation of Buddha more proficient and benign interaction.

Chanting can be counted both by quantity and by time, preferably by quantity.

Why do you count the number of chanting Buddhas?

1. You can urge yourself to improve.

The biggest common problem of people who chant Buddha is to fish for three days and dry their nets for two days, especially if there is no limit on the number of Buddha chanting every day, it is easy to slack.

2. It can be a good way to check the recitation of Buddhism.

With the number of daily recitations as homework, you can check the completion of your homework, and at the same time, you can make corresponding adjustments according to the quality and quantity of your homework, so as not to make chanting a mere formality.

3. Lay a solid foundation for the afterlife.

It is difficult to guarantee the quality of ordinary people's recitation, so that the rebirth will become an unattainable dream. However, if we rely on chanting a large number of Buddha names as an aid, we will gradually be able to improve the quality of chanting Buddha, and at the same time, our confidence and willingness will be correspondingly increased, and this will be able to lay a solid foundation for our rebirth in the Western Elysium.

Chanting the Buddha should be counted, and the prayer bead is a ritual instrument for this purpose.

Chanting is not based on quantity or time. It is based on the sincerity of the heart and true recitation of the Buddha.

Both. The choice is as you please.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.
