The
Ten Recitation Method is a simple, convenient, and effective way of practising
Buddha Recitation. It is especially suitable for those who find little time in
the day for cultivation.
Practising
the Ten Recitation method helps us to regain mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha and
brings us peace and clarity to the present moment.
The
practice begins first thing in the morning when we wake up.
We
should sit up straight and clearly recite Amitabha’s name ten times with an
undisturbed mind, whether out loud or silently to ourselves. We repeat the
process eight more times for the rest of the day:
2. At
breakfast
3. Before
work
4. At
Lunch Break
5. At
Lunch
6. After
Lunch Break
7. Getting
Off Work
8. At
Dinner
9. At
Bedtime
Altogether,
the method is practised nine times a day, everyday. The key point in this
cultivation is regularity; we must not practise one day and not the other. If
this practice can be maintained undisturbed, the cultivator would soon feel his
purity of mind increase, and wisdom grow.
Diligent
practice of the Ten Recitation method together with deep faith and determined
vows can ensure fulfilment of our wish to reach the Western Pure Land of infinite Life and
Infinite Light. We hope everyone will practise accordingly. Amitabha!
“Namo Amitabha Buddha! Amitabha Buddha!”
