Practice Meditation and Pure Land

Modern life makes us feel tired, not peaceful, always troubled and unstable. Therefore, we come to meditate to find peace and focus mindfully for ourselves and surround.

Meditation is the method to cencentration of the mind.

Reading the Buddha's name of Pure Land Sect is also a popular way leading to the pointness.

If we sincerely and earnestly recite the phrase Namo Amitabha Buddha every moment, every day and keep this practice for a long time, we will see the wonderful of Amitabha Buddha at present. We will reach the sublime state of Samadhi of Buddha invocation.

The practice of Huong Sen Buddhist Temple belongs to both sects of Meditation and Pure Land. In Meditation, it has the Pure Land and in the Pure Land, it has Meditation. Nuns and Buddhist often practice the Contemplation of Immeasurable Loving, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity, the Four Establishments of Mindfulness and Reading the Buddha's Name.

This small book is composed to share our understand and daily practice to Buddhists. We would like to gratefully acknowledge with special thanks the Buddhas, Boddhisattvas, Sanghas, the English translators, Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, our Late Respectful Teacher - Venerable Elder Bhikkhunī Hải Triều Âm and others. You all provided us the awakening words to remind and guide us in the right way of practice. We will keep chanting, learning and practicing it until we and all beings get the enlightenment as well as realize our Buddha nature.

If there is any merit in compiling this book, may it be shared with all sentient beings. May they diligently practice and soon gain the way of love and understanding. May all of us develop the sincere mind, the rebirth-aspiration and the merit-dedication in the Blissful Land here and now.

Every moment, we invoke and recite

the name of Amitabha Buddha

He embraces and protects

His light is unobstructed

Ou life became tolerant, penetrate.

Our mind is the immeasurable light

Buddha did not leave the world.

We recite Amitabha Buddha

Inviting Buddha into the heart

Compasionate seeds spreads all over

The West is here and now.

We prostrate to the Tathagata, the Infinite Light.

We prostrate to the Suchness Savior, the Boundless Life.

Namo Amitabha Buddha (3 times) (ooo)
