The Ten Recitation Method

The Ten Recitation Method is a simple, convenient, effective way to practice Buddha Name Recitation. It is especially suitable for those who find little time in the day for cultivation. Practicing this method help us to regain mindfulness of Buddha Amitabha and bring us peace and clarity in the present moment.

The practice begins first thing in the morning when we wake up. We sit up straight and clearly recite Buddha Amitabha’s name ten times with an undisturbed mind, aloud, silently to ourselves. We repeat this process eight more times for the rest of the day. Altogether, we do one round of ten recitations nine times a day, every day as follows:

Upon Waking Up
Before Starting Breakfast
After Finishing Breakfast
Before Start Work
Before Starting Lunch
After Finishing Lunch
Before Starting Dinner
After Finishing Dinner
At Bedtime (Before Sleep)

Altogether, this method is practiced nine times daily. The key is regularity; disruption of the practice will reduce its effectiveness. Without interruption, the cultivation will soon feel an increase in his or 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.
