Myong Jeong Sung (Jongsannim) #wonbuddhism #chant #sotaesan #kyomunim #peace #염불 #원불교 The Essential Purport of Reciting the Buddha’s Name As a rule, reciting the Buddha’s name is a method of practice that focuses the spirit that is distracted among myriad things into a single thought and settles the mind that is wavering amid favorable or adverse sensory conditions. “Nammu Amit’abul” (Homage to Amitābha Buddha, the Buddha of Limitless Life), the phrase that is used in the recitation of the Buddha’s name, means to take refuge in the “Limitless Life enlightenment.” In the past, one recited the holy name of Amitābha, wishing to be reborn in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss by relying on the spiritual power of the Buddha. But we aim to discover the Amitābha of our own mind, thus to return to the Ultimate Bliss of the self-nature. Our minds may be termed “Limitless Life” because they are originally free from both arising and ceasing and “enlightenment” because, moreover, within that state, they are ever-bright and ever-numinous, and free from darkness; this is what we call the Amitābha of our own minds. Our self-natures are originally pure, utterly void of both transgressions and merits, with all suffering eternally extinguished; this is precisely the Ultimate Bliss of the self-natures, which is just as it is and unchanging. Therefore, people who are reciting the Buddha’s name, by first understanding this principle, by taking as their foundation one’s own mind that is without arising or ceasing, and by being aware of the single thought that is free of coming and going, should let the spirit that is distracted among myriad things rest on the single thought of Amitābha, and have the mind that is wavering in favorable and adverse sensory conditions return to the realm of effortless and calm bliss; this is the authentic practice of reciting the Buddha’s name.
