A very poor person chanting Buddha induction
Some of the information mentioned that people with poor lives would feel something when they chanted Buddha. For example, there were people who suffered from various diseases (high blood pressure, coronary-heart disease, diabetes, cerebral stroke, half-paralysis, slanted eyes, crooked mouth, angina, diabetes legs, bleeding under the eyes, Cataracts, turbid vitreal body, etc.). They prayed to the Buddha wholeheartedly and asked for rebirth. Although the Buddha did not come to take them away, their illnesses were cured. Their eyes, which were almost blind, could see again, and their bodies gradually returned to normal. Every day, their hearts were filled with joy, and they only prayed to Amitabha. This meant that people with poor lives might get some positive induction during the process of chanting Buddha, but people who chanted Buddha should maintain the correct attitude and not be obsessed with the induction. They should use more kung fu on daily practice and positive practice in life. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Slaughtering pigs and chanting Buddha
There was a story about a rural woman in Zitong County, Sichuan Province. Her husband was very bad and always stopped her from becoming a vegetarian and chanting Buddha. Her husband started killing pigs and selling meat and forced her to press the pig's leg. He even said," It's not a sin to kill pigs, but it's a sin to press pigs." This made her not dare to chant Buddha. But in fact, she had been silently chanting Buddha in her heart. Every time she pressed the pig, she would silently pray to Amitabha to take the pig to the pure land. After a few years, all the pigs that she had massaged had been reborn. In order to thank her, these pigs would follow Amitabha Buddha three days later to pick her up. After she told her husband, he did not believe her. On the third day, her house was filled with fragrance and auspicious signs. She sat on a chair and closed her eyes to chant Buddha. She passed away in less than ten times. This story embodied a Buddhist concept of persisting in chanting Buddha and cultivating in adversity, and finally reincarnating into a paradise. There was also a similar story about Aunt Cai. Her husband also stopped her from becoming a vegetarian and chanting Buddha. He even made her sell meat and kill pigs. Aunt Cai insisted on chanting Buddha in her heart. In the end, the pigs she helped came back to pick her up. Aunt Cai also passed away in front of everyone. Her husband also converted to Buddhism after seeing these strange phenomena. These stories reflected the Buddhist belief that even if one was in a harsh environment, as long as one had Buddha in their heart, firm faith, and silently cultivated, they could still obtain the result of rebirth.

The secret of chanting Buddha wholeheartedly
In Buddhist culture, the secret of chanting Buddha could be understood in many ways. From the concept of Buddha, the ancient Indian "Buddha" was similar to the China "Immortal". It was a name for those who had reached a certain realm. It originally meant enlightened, but this concept became an independent term because of Sakyamuni. In the Mahayana sutra, there were countless Buddhas in the ten worlds. Which Buddha one was fated with became a factor to consider when chanting Buddha. The essence of chanting Buddha was not to think about the Buddha outside the heart, but the possibility of becoming a Buddha inside. This was related to people wanting to be free from worries and obtain freedom and enlightenment. There were many unfairness and hardships in ancient Indian society, such as the caste system. People hoped to improve their living conditions, and the detachment represented by Buddha became a kind of yearning. After spreading from India to East Asia, chanting Buddha became a convenient and efficient way of cultivation, but it still emphasized inner cultivation and enlightenment. In the practice of cultivation, for Zen, the combination of "Who is chanting Buddha" and "Shurangama Sutra" contained the secret of cultivation. This involved the exploration of the true nature of Zen, such as seeing the nature from the light and the dark, directly revealing the true nature, and the wonderful truth as the nature (Buddha nature). It was a consideration that needed to be considered when one started working hard. Moreover, different sects such as the Weiyang Sect also had their own unique style and characteristics of Zen related to this exploration. At the same time,"Amitabha" became a representative greeting in the Eastern world, reflecting the ancient people's yearning for wisdom and happiness. Amitabha represented infinite light (wisdom) and infinite longevity (blessings). It was believed that chanting "Amitabha" respectfully could obtain infinite wisdom and blessings to achieve great freedom. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

The story of forging iron, chanting Buddha and becoming Buddha
There was a story about a blacksmith who chanted Buddha and became Buddha. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a blacksmith who worked very hard. One day, a master passed by and the blacksmith gave him vegetarian food. In order to repay him, his master taught him a wonderful method: when he pulled the bellows, he would recite Amitabha. When he hammered the iron, he would recite Amitabha. In his heart, he would think about the land of Amitabha in the West. He just needed to work and recite Buddha every day. The blacksmith practiced according to this. Although his wife had doubts, the blacksmith said that he used to feel very tired when he forged iron, but now his body and mind were relaxed. The more he thought about it, the less tired he felt. After he became proficient in kung fu, he told his family that he was going home (Western Paradise). Finally, when he was forging, he held the hammer and chanted Buddha. After striking, he stopped breathing and passed away. When he passed away, his face did not change. The surrounding fragrance was rich, and heavenly music sounded in the air. There was also the story of Huang Tie Tie in Hengzhou, Hunan Province during the Song Dynasty. His family of four made a living by forging iron, but they didn't know how to cultivate. One day, he consulted a wandering monk. The monk taught him the method of holding the name and chanting Buddha. When he hammered iron, he read Buddha's name. His wife was worried that it would be even harder, but he said that he usually forged iron extremely hot and his arms were sore. Once he chanted Buddha, he did not feel hot and sore, so he chanted Buddha more diligently. One day, many years later, after he had a haircut, showered, and changed his clothes, he said that he wanted to go home. His wife was puzzled. He stood by the furnace and recited the Buddha loudly. After the red iron was taken out, he asked his neighbor to write a verse on his behalf."Ding ding dang dang, long time to refine steel, peace is near, I will go to the west." After the neighbor finished writing, he held a hammer and chanted the Buddha. After knocking, he stopped breathing. His face did not change. The surroundings were rich in fragrance, and the air was filled with pleasant heavenly music. People knew that he was guided by Buddha to the Nirvana.

Is chanting the name of Buddha counted as cultivation?
In Buddhism, chanting the name of Buddha could be regarded as a form of cultivation. From the perspective of religious practice, reciting the Buddha's name was called the " most unique Dharma method " by the eminent monks of the past generations. When chanting the Buddha's name, the body is also chanting Buddha at the same time, so there is no need to create new bad karma, and the merit will naturally increase. According to the Buddhist scriptures, chanting the names of the Buddhas in the Ten Worlds would eliminate sin and increase blessings. However, there were also opinions that if one simply chanted the Buddha's name without taking the Buddhist concept deep into one's heart, and if one's thoughts, opinions, words, and actions were not corrected according to the Buddhist standards, such as still thinking nonsense and doing things that harmed others for their own benefit, it might just be a manifestation of religious belief and not true cultivation. True cultivation required one to correct one's wrong behavior after believing in religion and understanding the truth, so that one's thoughts, opinions, words, and actions corresponded to what the Buddhist scriptures said. Therefore, whether chanting the name of Buddha alone was considered cultivation depended on whether the individual's chanting of the name of Buddha was accompanied by a deep understanding of Buddhism, reflection and correction of their own behavior, and many other factors.

The example of the butcher girl chanting Buddha
There was such an example in Zitong County, Sichuan Province. A woman in her forties wanted to become a vegetarian and pray to Buddha, but her husband tried his best to stop her. When she cooked, she first made meat dishes for her husband and then made her own vegetarian dishes. However, her husband scooped the meat dishes into her bowl and said," Those who eat meat are not guilty, but those who cook meat are guilty." She had no choice but to give up being vegetarian. In order to stop her from chanting Buddha, her husband started a business of killing pigs and selling meat. Every morning, he forced her to press the pig's leg, and every time he killed the pig, he said,"The one who kills the pig is not guilty, but the one who presses the pig is guilty." After that, she no longer recited Buddha on the surface. But after three years, she suddenly said that she wanted to return to the Elysian World. She told her husband that although she had been obstructed by her husband in the past few years, she had been praying to Buddha in her heart. Every time she held the pig down, she would silently pray to Buddha. During this period, she had also bought fish and set them free. Later, one night, a golden light appeared in the sky. A celestial told her that he would take her home in three days. It turned out that she had chanted the Buddha's name for the pigs that had been killed, performed the three retreats, and chanted the mantra of rebirth. The pigs had long passed away thanks to her power, and her merits were complete. On the third day, the villagers gathered in her courtyard. With the old madam's help, she put her hands together and happily passed away. Her husband also gained confidence after seeing these strange phenomena. He put down his butcher knife, converted to Buddhism, and wholeheartedly chanted Buddha to seek a pure land of survival. This example showed that although he was hindered by evil circumstances, evil fate, evil people, and evil karma, the merit of chanting Buddha surpassed everything and was not destroyed, so he could be reborn freely.

Persevere in chanting Buddha every day
There were two ways to chant Buddha: to relax and to concentrate. Distraction can be done at any time and any place, either verbally or silently. It can even be done while talking to people. Concentrating on reciting was the method of reciting the Buddhist Dharma. It was practiced during a specific period of specialization. It was usually done by reciting continuously, reciting loudly, and listening to the recitation. It could also be done by counting.(Every time a Buddhist name is recited, silently count a number, recite to ten, count to ten, and then count from the first, and repeat the cycle). In terms of efficacy, when one chanted to the state where one's heart was not in chaos, one must concentrate on chanting Buddha instead of relaxing. People who believed in Buddhism often chanted Amitabha Buddha or Namo Amitabha Buddha. Persevering in chanting Buddha every day could make people feel at ease whether they were happy or in pain. This was also one of the ways to test whether chanting Buddha was useful. Moreover, the daily chanting of Buddha was also a method for the disciples of the Pure Land Sect to be reborn in the Pure Land. They could also return the merit of chanting Buddha to all the sinners in the Void Dharma World, benefiting all living beings. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

Is chanting Buddha in this life related to the previous life?
According to some views, there might be a connection between chanting Buddha in this life and his previous life. There was a saying that people in this life might have cultivated in their previous lives or in a certain life. Although the memories of their previous lives were sealed in the eighth consciousness, the memories of their previous lives might be triggered in related situations such as chanting Buddha. For example, if someone shed tears while chanting Buddha, worshipping Buddha, listening to chanting scriptures, chanting spells, or listening to Buddhist songs, they might have triggered the memories of their previous lives in the Alaya consciousness. Perhaps it was the fate of their previous lives or the fate of their previous lives. However, these views were mostly derived from specific religious and cultural concepts and lacked scientific basis. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting.

It's incredible to persist in chanting Buddha every day
The most important thing in chanting Buddha is to get rid of the heart
In Buddhism, renouncing one's heart was an important state of mind. According to the information provided, renunciation referred to not being envious of the various grand events in reincarnation for a moment, and hoping for relief day and night. For the chanting of Buddha, if there was a separation, it meant that he had seen through the pain of reincarnation and had strengthened his determination to leave the secular sea of suffering. When chanting Buddha, if there was a lack of separation, it might be like the people in the Buddhist recitation hall mentioned in the information. Their mouths were chanting Buddha, but their minds were on the trivial matters of life. This was not true chanting Buddha. The real chanting of Buddha should be to control the mind, and the separation of heart and mind can help to achieve this state of control. It can make people not be attracted by secular troubles and desires, and focus more on chanting Buddha cultivation, hoping to be freed from the bitter sea of the Saha world and reach a state of happiness from suffering. Therefore, from this point of view, renouncing one's heart was of great significance to chanting Buddha. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting.
