- The Ten Recitation Method


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!”
