Ten Recitation Method
The Ten Recitation method is a simple, convenient, and effective way of
practicing Buddha name Recitation. It is especially suitable for those who find little time
in the day for cultivation. Practicing the Ten Recitation method helps us to regain
mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha and brings us peace and clarity to the present moment.
The practice begins first thing in the morning when we wake up. We should
sit up straight and clearly recite Amitabha's name ten times with an undisturbed mind,
whether out loud or silently to ourselves. We repeat the process eight more times for
the rest of the day

Upon waking up |
Altogether, the method is practiced nine times a day, everyday.
The key point in this cultivation is regularity; we must not practice one day and not
the other. If this practice can be maintained undisturbed, the cultivator would soon
feel his purity of mind increase, and wisdom grows.
Diligent practice of the Ten Recitation method together with deep faith
and determined 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.
