When applying this to chanting the Buddha’s name, the level of inner peace attained depends on our effort. We must chant the Buddha’s name even more, as our grave karmic obstructions accumulated over many past lives are like a chronic illness that cannot be cured with only one or two treatments. Attaining Buddhahood requires persistence and effort.

As long as we chant the Buddha’s name, there will be a lotus flower for us in the Water of Eight Meritorious Virtues. At the time of our death, Amitabha Buddha, Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and Mahastamaprapta Bodhisattva will come with our lotus flower and guide us to the Pure Land.

As long as we chant the Buddha’s name, there will be a lotus flower for us in the Water of Eight Meritorious Virtues. At the time of our death, Amitabha Buddha, Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and Mahastamaprapta Bodhisattva will come with our lotus flower and guide us to the Pure Land.
Everything is impermanent, including karmic hindrances. They will not last forever and can change at any moment. They arise due to causes and conditions, and will cease due to causes and conditions as well. How can we eliminate our karmic obstacles? The way to do so is to constantly be mindful of Amitabha Buddha. By sincerely chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha just once, we can eliminate our most severe offenses that have kept us in the cycle of birth and death for over eight billion kalpas. From this we can see how great is the merit of chanting the Buddha’s name!

When faced with afflictions, we should chant Amitabha Buddha’s name more often. When there is a disastrous fire, we need to extinguish it with large amounts of water. However, one cup of water will not extinguish a cartload of burning firewood. If our chanting does not bring us joy and tranquility, it is because we have not chanted enough, just like a small amount of water will not extinguish a large fire. If we wish to be happy and free of afflictions, we should constantly chant the name of Amitabha Buddha.

Earnest Buddha Recitation is to persistently recite the Buddha’s name with faith and determination. It is not only Buddhists who recite the Buddha’s name; non-Buddhists do so as well. Will the non-Buddhists be reborn in the Western Pure Land? The answer is negative. They are aiming at the wrong direction, so how will they get there?
