Isn t it okay to recite the Buddha and chant sutras when you study Patriarch Zen?

Anyone can chant sutras, and anyone should recite sutras. It is not necessary to take refuge in the Three Jewels to chant sutras. After learning the patriarch Zen, if you still don't understand what Buddhism is, you still need to chant sutras and chant Buddha.

If the karma is very heavy, it is impossible to attain enlightenment like Zen. If it is a thousand enlightenments, it is very wise and does not need to chant the Buddha and directly participate in Zen, otherwise it is still necessary to chant the Buddha and chant the Buddha.

That's not how it's understood! Reciting the Buddha's sutras is a basic skill and the main way to increase wisdom and understand the Buddha's teachings.

To learn Buddhism, you must follow the Buddhist scriptures, and if you can't understand the Buddhist scriptures, you should read the teacher's lectures.

Of course, to learn from the patriarch, you must also practice according to the Buddhist scriptures, and those who should recite the sutras must recite the sutras.

Without a master, chanting and reciting the Buddha by yourself will of course be successful.

The master can be an individual or a book. Buddhism, so far, I have studied by reading books, of course, with the guidance of a famous teacher, I will naturally go faster.

However, to learn Buddhism, understanding is very important. It is not necessarily that if you recite the sutra too much, you will definitely become enlightened, but you also have to understand and comprehend.

Enlightenment requires a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, at least you must first understand what Buddha is, what is Buddhism, read more books, with the growth of wisdom, the ability to understand will slowly increase, and slowly you will become enlightened.

Remember! Don't rush forward, take your time, go with the flow, and be humble and proven.

Hehe! Don't worry, don't worry, chanting Buddha does not necessarily have to "read" the name of the Buddha in your heart, the so-called chanting is to "have" the Buddha in your heart, for example, you are separated from the person you love the most, although you do not deliberately think about him, but there seems to be a faint painful uncomfortable feeling in your consciousness, this is the thought. Whether you miss him or not, you have him more or less vaguely in your heart, which is called thinking.

Of course, language itself does have a powerful holding power on the sixth consciousness.)

In addition, you should not rush to learn Buddhism, but also consider your inner feelings.

Reference: [Buddhism is very human, everything must be based on the individual's root nature, and it is possible to get out of samsara. When reciting the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, after the Buddha attained enlightenment, his father King Jinghan let many noble young people of the Shakyamuni clan follow the world-honored monks, one of them is called Tiansu Bodhi, because he is used to living a rich life, so he can not do the Tao with peace of mind, so he thought to himself, after I became a monk, I wore bad clothes, ate other people's leftovers, and the medicine used when I was sick was picked up from the garbage heap, and I either slept under the tree or slept in the grave all day long, I really can't stand it, I want to return to the vulgar.

At this time, he asked the Buddha for leave and went home, and the Buddha did not say anything, but nodded. Just as Subodhi was about to depart, Ananda advised him to stay for the night, and he thought to himself, I can't stay for a minute, I've had enough. When Ananda saw that he could not keep it, he promised to go to the palace of the king of Bosnian and borrow it from him, and Ananda did borrow it.

Seeing that the palace was so rich, that he was well fed, that he was dressed beautifully, and that the bed he slept in was comfortable, he felt a little gratified, and because of this, his mind gradually settled down, and as a result, at night he inadvertently meditated on the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha, and then realized the Tao and attained the Arhat Fruit. At this time, Ananda couldn't sleep at night, afraid that Tensu Bodhi Wan would run away half the night, and he would take the things from the palace away, which would be serious! So I went to see him.

A person who has obtained the arhat fruit can fly in the void, and when Ananda sees it, he is very confused, so he goes to the Buddha, and the Buddha taught him that everyone has their own roots, and if those who enjoy the Tao mind can increase the practitioner's path, it is not impossible to use it, but if the five desires and pleasures do not increase the path mind, but increase the greed, they should not be used. Therefore, you have to first understand your own root nature, and then practice according to the middle path, which is the correct path. 】

The owner of Suixi Mansion can contact Buddhism at such a young age, and his good roots are deep!

If you don't have confidence in believing in Buddhism yet, you can recite "Amitabha" or "Nam no Amitabha" without affecting your studies, or you can recite it silently at any time when you are walking, riding in a car, or when you are free. That way, you won't be delayed in learning.

Sticking to it for a while will definitely have an effect.

If you have time, you can recite the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, both of which are enlightening wisdom. It will definitely help you in your studies.

I didn't study Buddhism until I joined the work, and I don't have any specific feelings about whether reciting Buddhism can improve my academic performance, but it is certain that studying Buddhism can inspire wisdom.

What I know is that there are monks who are both well-versed in medicine and Buddhist scriptures. I don't know much about Buddhism, but I appreciate Buddhism.

Just recite the Buddha sincerely. For chanting the Buddha and dividing each other, whether they can recite or not, these are all miscellaneous thoughts, they are asking for troubles, and they want to have no place to live and give birth to their minds. No phase is a phase, no thought of the Buddha, and the thought of the continuum, this is the recitation of the Buddha.
