The Ten Recitation Method By Venerable Master Chin Kung The Ten-Recitation method is a simple, convenient and effective way of practicing Buddha Recitation. It is especially suitable for those who find little time in the day for cultivation. Practicing the Ten-Recitation method helps us to regain mindfulness of Buddha Amitabha and brings us peace and clarity in the present moment.
The practice begins first thing in the morning when we wake up . We should sit up straight and clearly recite Buddha Amitabha's name ten times with an undisturbed mind, aloud or silently to ourselves. We repeat this process eight more times for the rest of the day. Altogether, we should do one round of ten recitations nine times a day, every day as follows: 1. Upon waking up 2. Before starting breakfast 3. After finishing breakfast 4. Before work 5. Before starting lunch 6. After finishing lunch 7. Before starting dinner 8. After finishing dinner 9. At bedtime Altogether, this method is practiced nine times daily. The key is regularity; disruption of this practice will reduce its effectiveness. Without interruption, the cultivator will soon feel an increase in his/her purity of mind and wisdom.
Diligent practice of the Ten-Recitation method, together with unwavering belief and vows, can ensure fulfillment of our wish to reach the Western Pure Land of Infinite Life and Infinite Light. We hope everyone will practice accordingly.
Namo Amitabha!
