What's the use of chanting?

Yes, the Buddha never wrote a scripture himself in his life. Buddhist scriptures were written word by word by the sage Ananda, and they are the supreme magic weapon for our descendants! Buddhist Scripture is a human law and a manifestation of the Buddha's supreme wisdom. The transfer notes of celebrities and great men are written with heart, thought and knowledge. (Buddhist scriptures-wisdom, worldly law-knowledge) can't be compared. 1. Should the scripture be sung or read? Although singing and reading is a personal habit, fellow initiates at home usually read more books. 2. Is it better to listen to the classics or read (sing) by yourself? I saw it myself, of course. Why can the Analects of Confucius be included in textbooks, but not in classics? This question should be answered by the Ministry of Education. Ha ha! Let me quote an answer from a "wise man". I think it will be of great help to your question. Is it necessary to understand the meaning of scripture when chanting?

Neither, but it is.

What Liu Zu said was that he understood the meaning of scripture and put it into his own life.

The opening scripture says: It is not easy to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata. The meaning of scripture is not studied, but studied.

Participation is a natural expression. The so-called reading the classics thousands of times, showing its meaning, regardless of its meaning, in order to study the true meaning. No matter what it means, if you study it, you can learn from it and be enlightened. The true meaning is the true meaning of the Tathagata.

There are many profound places in Buddhism. Buddhism is harmonious, fascinating and unpredictable, so we really need to understand it carefully to avoid misunderstanding.

The Buddha told us that there is no fixed method for the Buddha to say that every statement should be made by different sentient beings to cure different troubles and to say yes to those who are obsessed with emptiness; Say nothing to all persistent beings.

Therefore, it is necessary to explain the position of the person who explained this law, to whom, what is the purpose, and what kind of troubles are being treated.

In fact, Master Kong Jing also said that he should read his thoughts and do it. See below.

The ancients said "chanting Buddha", yes! Now when it comes to "chanting Buddha", everyone has completely distorted the meaning of "chanting Buddha". The ancients enlightened by chanting, but today people are confused by chanting, and the more they read, the deeper they get. You said it was no trouble! Why do you say that the ancients chanted scriptures, and the more they read, the more enlightened they became? What is "chanting"? See how to spell "read". "Mindfulness" is "today's heart", that "today" is your own heart, and "heart" is Buddhist scriptures, and you will be enlightened! How about chanting now? What did you read? What did you read? Inexplicable classic. It is definitely not a Buddhist sutra, nor is it your own sutra. Isn't it puzzling? So we learn to teach classics and learn classics, which is the first important thing, and understand the truth of classics. That truth is our heart, and our heart is what the Buddha said. You really have this truth in your heart. This is called chanting.

The dharma mentioned in the classics is our behavior, the behavior of Buddha and Bodhisattva. To put it simply, as the Infinite Life Sutra often says: "Be good at protecting your mouth, don't mock him; Be good at protecting your body without losing grace; Be good at taking care of your own business, clean and pollution-free. This method, this is the behavior of the Buddha, and I really did it. This is called chanting. This is called chanting. You really have this passage in your heart. The classic realm is our enjoyment; Enjoy in life, enjoy in work, enjoy in communication with people. What classics are we studying now? From "if I smell it" to "believe it and be followed", yes, I didn't pronounce a word wrong. " What do you mean? "I don't understand. "White read! You don't understand it yourself. To tell the truth, if you read it to Buddha and Bodhisattva, neither will Buddha and Bodhisattva. That's why I said that the Buddhist scriptures you read were inexplicable, and neither did the Buddha or Bodhisattva. It is wrong for us to study like this! How can we be enlightened from beginning to end?

To say "no solution" means to concentrate, recite the scriptures, and be enlightened because of it. To recite the scriptures means to quit meditation and complete the practice at one time.

So we read the Bible, and we advocate reading the Bible. Reading the Bible is the best way to correct our thinking. Especially those with lower and middle roots, get support from reading. After reading it, you should understand the meaning of the scriptures. It doesn't matter if no one says. The ancients often said: "Read it a thousand times and you will know its meaning." Read every day, no delusion, no distractions. We talk about concentrating on chanting. After reading for a long time, you will be enlightened. Why? After studying for a long time, you must settle down and your heart will be clean. Because you are absorbed in chanting, without delusion or persistence, chanting is settled, which is a kind of practice; After the heart is clean, the meaning in the scripture is gradually understood. "Its meaning is self-evident." After understanding, you must do it, and you must insist on teaching. This is called "receiving"; Acceptance is self-interest, and we have our own interests. After you get the benefits, you must share them with others, that is, "speak for others." The most important thing in a speech is performance. What is acting? I made it myself; Show it to others. I did it. Don't talk if you don't do it. The Buddha put "doing" in front and "saying" behind; He didn't say "performance", he said "speech". Giving a speech to others is a kind of self-interest and altruism.
