Reciting scriptures

There are many responses to chanting scriptures. We must practice seriously in our daily life, and we must be full of trust in Buddhist scriptures so that we can feel the response to the merits of Buddhist scriptures.Of course, some people actually don’t know what the response of reciting Buddhist scriptures is. Let’s take a look belowThe induction of chanting scriptures。

The induction of chanting scriptures

In the small border town where I live, the diligence and piety of Mr. Li is the most admired by me.At 76, she gets up at 4:30 a.m. every day, worships and recites Buddha's name, and has never stopped for many years.Many people advised her to be careful of her health when she is old, so she will be unable to bear it when she wakes up early.But she said firmly: "The monk in the temple got up at three or four o'clock to go to the hall for morning classes, praying for all living beings to eliminate karma and cultivate blessings. As one of the sentient beings, I have received such great kindness from the Three Jewels. How could I still sleep when my master chants the scriptures?" She lives with her son and daughter-in-law. In order not to disturb them, she tiptoed in the morning and did not dare to wear shoes. She only wore socks to worship Buddha and recite the Buddha's name regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. She usually never left her rosary and kept her mouth. Her faith in Amitabha Buddha was as firm as a Vajra.

Before Li Lao Bodhisattva retired, he was an employee of a certain unit and they lived in the unit community.One day, the unit needs to obtain a certificate and need to take photos of retired employees on site.In order to facilitate the elderly, the company leaders asked the people from the photo studio to move the camera to the community so that the elderly can take photos without leaving the house.That day, dozens of elderly people lined up in the yard of the community to take photos. Everyone stood in front of the camera, took photos with a "bang", and immediately got the color photos.Old Bodhisattva Li stood in the team, holding Buddhist beads and chanting the Buddha's name. When it was her turn to take photos, she stood up five times, but no photos were taken. Others washed out were colorful photos, but what she washed out was negative, just like a hospital. X Just like a film.The people in the photo studio were very strange. They thought the machine was broken, so they flipped and checked for a long time but couldn't find anything broken. The people behind couldn't wait. Old Bodhisattva Li was also quite humble, so he asked the people behind to take photos first. As a result, the people behind stood up and washed out the colorful photos with a "bang".Everyone suddenly wondered why everyone in front and back could take photos, but the only one in the old Bodhisattva Li couldn't? Everyone looked at her strangely and looked at the rosary beads in her hand. Old Bodhisattva Li suddenly realized the reason. She turned around and bowed deeply to the West, then put away the Buddhist beads, temporarily stopped chanting Buddha's name, stood up for the sixth time, and finally washed the color photos this time!

At the end of a Buddhist seven-day period, Bodhisattva Li excitedly told everyone this induction story. She said with tears in her eyes: "The Buddhist scriptures say that as long as you recite the Buddha's name sincerely, there will be Buddha's light shining on us. After chanting the Buddha for so many years, I have never seen the Buddha's light. I thought I was not pious enough, or I was dizzy and unable to see the Buddha's light. I didn't expect Amitabha Buddha to use this method to let me know that as long as I recite the Buddha's name devoutly, there will be Buddha's light! Think about it, how bright and strong the Buddha's light is. I was chanting the Buddha's name at that time, and the Buddha's light shining on me. Compared with the Buddha's light, the light of a camera is a world of difference. When I have the Buddha's light on me, the camera will shine on me again, and it is reflected back by the Buddha's light, so I can't take a picture five times. When I took the picture for the sixth time, I didn't recite the Buddha's name, so I took a photo.The Buddha's words are true and true, and Amitabha Buddha is extremely clever, which makes me stronger from then on chanting the Buddha's name and devote myself to rebirth in the Western Paradise.

In our daily life, we should practice more seriously and read more about the explanations of Buddhist scriptures, which is very conducive to our study of Buddhist scriptures.When we encounter something we don’t understand very much, we can discuss it with other fellow practitioners.
