What's the function of reading Namo Amitabha at night?

chanting Buddha is a kind of "good root and good fortune", and its merits are incredible. Being able to read Buddha today shows that all of you here have good karma.

why do you want to read "there is no Amitabha in the south"? What are the advantages of reading "Amitabha in the South"? It should be understood that the six-character fame of "There is no Amitabha in the South" is the result of Amitabha's practice of becoming a Buddha when he was a Buddhist monk because of the land. This Buddha's name embodies boundless blessings, and all beings say that they can gain boundless merits and eliminate boundless crimes. The Amitabha Sutra says: "If a good man and a good woman hear about Amitabha and hold the title, if for one day, if for two days, if for three days ... if for seven days, they are not distracted, and their lives are dying, Amitabha and other saints are now in front of them. When people die, their hearts will not be reversed, that is, the land of Amitabha's bliss will be achieved. " This is the origin of chanting Buddha. In a nutshell, the advantages of chanting "there is no Amitabha in the south" are as follows:

First, it can get rid of the hubbub, eliminate troubles and increase wisdom.

In this world, there are many things overlapping, but one thing comes after another, and the hubbub is rolling, which makes people annoyed and restless. By chanting Buddha, you can calm your restless heart, and your troubles will disappear. Over time, your troubles will be transformed into bodhi. Things can't be opened at ordinary times. Say the Buddha's name and let it go naturally. When trouble comes, say the Buddha's name, and the trouble will die. If your husband is angry with you and scolds you, you can call him "Amitabha", which can extinguish your anger, and an Amitabha will make you cool.

calm mind, clear mind, active cells, quick thinking, enhanced memory and increased intelligence. My master told a story like this. He said that he had a friend who often came to the temple to play. One day, he came to the temple to play again, and it happened that the Buddha was playing in the temple. The master said to him, "Now the Buddha is playing in the temple, and I am going to read Buddha. The benefits of chanting Buddha are vast. I will take you to read a incense. " After reading a incense, this friend hurriedly said to Master, "It's really beneficial to read Buddha." My master thought that he was in full bloom and was about to ask questions. This friend said, "Just now when I was chanting Buddha, I suddenly remembered that I lent you 1 yuan six years ago and forgot to return it to you. It turns out that you asked me to recite Buddha to pay back the money. " This is a joke, but it is true that chanting Buddha can really make people develop their intelligence and restore their memory.

Life lies in exercise. Proper physical exercise is good for health. By the same token, the brain should also exercise so as not to "age" it. How does the brain move? Chanting Buddha is the best brain exercise, which of course has scientific proof.

Second, chanting Buddha can cure the loneliness and talkativeness of the elderly.

when you are old, it's hard to get old when you are old. Everyone dies, but not everyone is old. When you are old, you really have to have a certain blessing. You are always blessed, but after all, being old is bitter, and being lonely and silent is a great pain for being old. My daughter has grown up and found a son-in-law to marry off. When my son grew up, he married a daughter-in-law and moved out. My wife also passed away and left. I'm left alone, lonely, playing mahjong, staying up all night, easy to get emotional and harmful to my health; Watch TV, poor eyesight, long and tired; Go to the door to chat, you will lose if you talk too much; Stay at home, lonely and bored, what should I do? Look for a drugstore, which has no medicine for this loneliness. What should we do? There is a way! When you come to the temple, the mage teaches you "there is no Amitabha in the south". As long as you follow the teachings and concentrate on it, loneliness will naturally be cured.

A believer said to me, "Master! My mother is full of old sayings, and she often puts her foot in her mouth, causing trouble. What should we do? Master! " I told him, "there is no cure for this old problem, but I will teach you, and you will teach your mother to read Amitabha Namo." Read 2 thousand sentences every day, but finish this number every day. Give it a try. And tell your mother about the benefits of chanting Buddha. " Ten days later, the believer said to me happily, "Now my mother has stopped nagging and gossiping, and her spirit is cheerful." This is the merit of chanting Buddha. The old people in my small temple are required to recite 7, or 8, sentences every day, and they can go to bed and sleep after completing this homework. It's too late to recite Buddha, so there's still time to talk idle. If your old mother and grandmother, or your old in-laws, are talkative and like to nag, you might as well teach him to read Amitabha Namo and try this "panacea".

Our old ladies and grandmothers live a full and happy life because of this sentence "There is no Amitabha in the south", instead of being lonely, lonely and nagging.

third, chanting Buddha is the foundation of all good deeds, which can eliminate karma and sin and increase boundless blessings.

according to Buddhist scriptures, the sin of chanting Buddha destroys river sand, and the blessing of chanting Buddha increases immeasurably. When chanting the Buddha's name, you are chanting Buddha without evil deeds, your mouth is chanting Buddha without evil words, your heart is chanting Buddha without evil thoughts, your body, mouth and mind are clean, and evil is broken and good, so that evil deeds are eliminated and blessings naturally grow.

According to the Tibetan Scripture, if a man or a woman hears the Buddha's name, they will feel respectful and gain boundless blessings, surpassing the felony of 4 robberies of life and death (one robbery is about 16 million years), never falling into evil ways, and they will always be born, and they will be happy to win. Hearing the Buddha's name, there are so many merits, not to mention that we now sincerely call the name "Amitabha"? Inevitably, infinite blessings will be obtained, and infinite crimes will be destroyed.

"Hokkekyo" says, "once there is no Buddha in the south, everyone has become a Buddha." When the Buddha was alive, an old man read a sentence "There is no Buddha in the south" before 5 robberies. After more than 5 robberies, this "good root" matured and finally became a monk and practiced fruit. This good root of "no Buddha in the south", the root of all good, has not withered after more than 5 years of robbery, but can take root and sprout, blossom and bear the fruit of Bodhi.

fourth, chanting Buddha is simple, convenient and steady, easy to start and effective.

The method of practicing Buddhism is the simplest, most convenient and most stable. The so-called simplicity means that the walker only needs to read a sentence of Amitabha in the south. As long as anyone can speak, this Buddhist name can be read, so can three-year-old children and parrots and livestock. It can be seen that there is no simpler method.

By convenience, I mean that the Buddhist Dharma can be practiced anywhere, even in the bathroom. Go to the bathroom and say the Buddha's name silently. The Buddhist Dharma can be recited at any time, and it is feasible to live, sit and lie down, but you should meditate when you lie down. It doesn't matter if you want to read or stop. When chanting, the phone rings, so you can stop chanting and answer the phone temporarily. When chanting Buddha, someone knocks at the door, so you can stop chanting Buddha and open the door for a while to receive guests ... Everything is clear and convenient. Of course, it is the most ideal way to set a time, leave all the miscellaneous reasons, calm down and concentrate on Buddha.

The so-called sureness means that a practitioner can practice Buddhism in a safe way, and he will never go wrong, so he doesn't have to worry about being possessed. It is really said that "a word of amitabha is the most convenient, it doesn't take much effort and money, and it is the safest to be simple and secure, and it will cross the three realms to reach the Buddha."

5. chanting Buddha can lead to the pure land of amitabha.

There is no limit to the merits of reciting Buddha, but in the past, giving birth to the pure land of Amitabha was the greatest merit, which was also the purpose of reciting Buddha. For this, everyone should be clear and clear. The vows we read are very clear: "Do your best to report yourself and live together in a blissful country." If you use the merits of chanting Buddha to seek wealth and fame, it is beyond reproach, but it is a pity! It's just like a priceless mani pearl, which is exchanged for a few oranges. What a pity! You should know that prosperity is a dream of the third night, such as dew as flowers, illusion as electricity. To know that enjoying the blessings of the world will lead to depravity, it is only when the West is born and never reincarnated. After becoming a Buddha, it is the ultimate happiness to visit your six relatives, even all sentient beings. It doesn't violate the painstaking efforts of Sakyamuni Buddha to teach people to recite Buddha without asking questions, and it doesn't violate Amitabha's great wish of compassion.

The Infinite Life Sutra says: "There are many names of buddhas and bodhisattvas in the world in ten directions, but remembering their names is inexhaustible. Those who are born in the West in the 1-party dharma circle are also unable to recover from poverty. " Let's take China as an example. It's also incalculable that there are famous people with recorded surnames who died in the West.

You've seen The Record of Pure Land Sages, and there are more than 1,23 people who died after chanting Buddha in the book. Even chickens, geese and other livestock have passed away. In the Republic of China, Master Di Xian was the abbot of Toutuo Temple in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and a rooster died in the temple. All of us here must live up to expectations and not be inferior to roosters!

Buddha chanting is often guarded invisibly by all the gods, always guarded by all the bodhisattvas, and so on. Master Yin Guang said, "One sentence, three universal quilts, is the king of the twelve sutras of Sanzang." There is no limit to the merits of chanting Buddha, but surviving in the West is the ultimate merit of chanting Buddha.

We all read Amitabha Namo together, and when we read it, we must keep in tune and have a soft voice. There are four beats for the word Amitabha in South China, that is, one beat for South China, one beat for Ami, one beat for Tuo, one beat for Buddha and four beats for * * *. When chanting Buddha, the sound of the wooden fish is neat, the mouth is clearly read, the ears are clearly heard, and the mind is clearly thought. The eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body all live on the name of "Amitabha Buddha in the south", then all six are photographed, and the net reading is one after another.

when walking around the Buddha, walk slowly according to the rhythm of chanting. When chanting "Nanwu", raise your left foot and step forward; when chanting "Ami", raise your right foot and step forward; when chanting "Tuo", raise your left foot and step forward; when chanting "Buddha", raise your right foot and step forward. It takes a little effort to step forward and lift your feet, and visualize the lotus on the ground. My feet just step on the lotus, one step at a time, and the pure land of western amitabha is here. Do you understand? Everyone is silent, and everyone must have understood.

amitabha keeps saying that Bai Bo is obsessed with it, and he is determined to support it. -Yanshou Zen master's poem
