In benefit of all beings:

The Masters Hurting Legs and His Two disciples

One time a master instructed his two disciples to take care of his hurting legs. Each disciple was told to continuously massage one leg. But each of the two disciples disliked and felt jealousy toward the other. If one disciple went out, the other would use a stone to break the leg the first one had been massaging. When the first one came back, out of anger he would break the leg that the second one had been massaging.

[xinkon]

It's said in the One Hundred Parable Sutra:

"The same is true of Buddhist disciples Scholars of the Vaipulya (Great Vehicle) deprecate scholars of the Theravada, while scholars of the Theravada also deprecate scholars of the Vaipulya. This threatens to bring about the destruction of the scriptures of both schools of the Great Sage."

The Lotus Sutra furher states that the different teachings and vehicles are all expedient means for different sentient beings.Thus, all can attain liberation.

:)

[Calixtus]

@xinkon Lol, sorry, but this is one painful analogy. Surely there is a better analogy to describe what you meant to convey.

[xinkon]

@Calixtus Thanks for you kind regard. :)

In true, words may be painful. For as long as they're based on delusion, they cannot pull us out of suffering.

My friend! Painful indeed is ignorance. My speech, likewise, is only a patch of illusory thoughts.

As a fool, I tried to bring a pearl involved in rags. Thus, for the Dharma's sake I ask you: as one would throw away the rags for the pearl, forget my unskilled words and take only the Tathagata's teaching.

[xinkon]

@Calixtus Painful indeed is changing a pearl for rags. So, too, it is to change the practice of the Noble Teaching for many limited thoughts!

May we put an end to all which is painful.

May we wholeheartedly recite Amitabha' name and realize the pearl beyond words.

Amitabha

[laitutran247]

Đã muốn liễu sanh tử ngay trong đời này thì phải giữ vẹn luân thường, trọn hết bổn phận, dứt lòng tà, giữ lòng thành, đừng làm các điều ác, vâng giữ các điều lành, thật sự vì sanh tử phát Bồ Đề tâm, dùng tín nguyện sâu trì danh hiệu Phật.(Ấn Quang Đại Sư)

[simazhongda]

To reach attainment, firstly, u have to be enlighten ..

[Chipexcess]

Its chinese, buddha comes from china before it s religion spread to japan.

[Vajrasiddha]

@Chipexcess Buddhism comes from Nepal, then spread all over the world. Where ever a Swastika appears to have been, Buddhism either flourished or still flourishes. Maps with Swastikas on them denote Buddhist Temples.

[xinkon]

@Vajrasiddha It brings us to questions as "Why has the Patriarch come from the West?"

Even tough Buddhism may has come from the cradle of Shakyas, the Buddha neither comes nor goes.

When asked to settle an argument about which one moves, if the flag or the wind, Hui Neng answered:"None of them. It's your minds that are moving."

So, too, the Thus Come One is not born, nor is he subjected to death. Neither here nor there. As Buddha's disciples, let us look for the Mind when asking for Him. :)

[xinkon]

@Vajrasiddha Perhaps the situation resembles the Diamond Sutra, where the Buddha says:

"If one sees me in forms,

If one seeks me in sounds,

He practices a deviant way,

And cannot see the Tathagata."

Where is the Buddha, then? Where is The true mind?

May we all succeed in our quest.

I hope this may be of some benefit.

Thanks for the comment!

Amitabha

[Kumari58787]

@Chipexcess Actually it comes from India, then it went to China(through Tibet?) and then Japan

[Kumari58787]

@Chipexcess I meant Nepal, but some say it was India in those times

[lichtbroeder]

@Chipexcess

Buddhism came from India first - then to China.

[sageb1]

It is said that when we utter the nembutsu, that is Amida calling to us.

This is why it is called the Name-that-calls. It is based on the philosophy that the concepts of "I", "my", "me" and "mine" are temporary abstract ones.

Thus in declaring my faith in Amida Buddha by uttering "Namu Amida Buddha", that is Amida calling to me.

The Traditions of the City of 10,000 Buddhas

The Six Great Guiding Principles:

- Do not fight

- Do not be greedy

- Do not seek

- Do not be selfish

- Do not pursue personal advantage

- Do not lie

[cittamagga]

Thank you, namo amitabha

[lumbanraja2]

i am theravada buddhist and to us this is not enough to become a buddha one must study on himself and follow the words only from siddatha gotama and follow his teachings from siddatha gotama allone and follow his path by meditation

[rodoflight]

But Gotama also said in the Amitabha sutra, that this is another path to englightment. Our world is getting harder and harder to follow the dharma properly.

With all the attachments+delusions. I can kind off agree with you we can do more, but i dont agree with you on the part of "this is not enough."

I dont consider myself a mahayana or thervada buddhist, i mix them both ( even though im a slight mahayana).

Does Thervada believe in Amitibha's pureland? just curious

[ShootingStarMagic]

Thank you for this, it's very nice for meditation. I also like that the picture stays the same, the better for concentration. Namo Amituofo.

[FFNinjascroll]

if you say amituofo ten times with all your heart.........its a quickfix to the pureland, it works if you do it sincerely

[gch6841]

Namo amitabha~

[simazhongda]

whenever i listen to this, i tend to think of the bad deeds i contributed to this world, thinking if i didt do this, this might happened instead ..

[simazhongda]

birth, old, sickness, death is like a circle .. for it started at one point and end at one but no matter what happen in between, the circle will be completed no matter how long it takes ..

[GacktCamui111]

R.I.P uncle Chin Ya Tan.. chanted this for 4 hours for my uncles funeral...

[Car12fish]

This is beautiful. Is it possible to purchase a CD of it?

[rukialkuchiki]

this music is familiar

[haroyzbe]

If one say this name "Namo Amitabha" then he/she will born in the pure land at the next reincarnation?

[PandemoniumOldSchool]

Actually i am not a great buddhism student but more or less it is a prayer which purpose is to LEAVE NEGATIVE MIND ATTITUDES and so not to develope bad karma, having birth in a land where is possible pratice buddha's teachings. More or less :)

[Omitofuo]

if one recites his name at the moment of their death, they will be reborn in Amitabha pureland. That being said, it not easy. At that moment, your body is in excruciating pain. Your mind is undoubtedly confused, terrified, and full of attachment. It very hard to think of reciting!

[mimi002]

I love this songs.. I feel like crying when listening to this. It reminds me the time I went through a tough time.

[mimi002]

where can I buy this CD?

[meiapril2]

very nice & relaxing. Thank you.

[dianatran1982]

Very beautiful and soothing :-)

[avaxxsamantha]

my grandma has this little tape box thing.. i don't know what it is, we got it from the temple and it plays a chant similar to this in our house 24/7. it's relaxing to hear it all the time.

[zenitcaballeros]

very nice

[Tien1185]

it's so emotional to hear this video.

[jennielim]

thank you for uploading this song, i am looking for it for months, heard it from a chinese temple and it made me cry. thank you!

[namoamitabhabuddha]

Namo Amitabha Buddhaya

[dianatran1982]

[chencao267]

阿彌陀佛

[lumbanraja2]

i am an theravada buddhist we pray in pali language and that is the language buddha spoke when he was still allive

[sengoku16]

SAME here, i follow tradition!from my ancenstors and to the next generation

[belovedmighty]

How can I get a copy of this?

[rory12001]

Sure you can join a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple or a temple that practices Pure Land. It's not hard at all. Pure Landers are very open and accepting (I'm euro-american)

[lebaolien]

nice song ... namo amitabha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upisrael45]

Is there any way that I can convert to Pure Land Buddhism? I'd REALLY like to know. Thanks

[manpanics]

You dont need to convert. There is nothing to convert from or two. Pureland encompasses all forms of Buddhism. Recite the Buddhas name with a sincere heart and you will be reborn in the Pureland.

Namo Amitabha Buddha

[CircusofPython]

Say "Namu Amida Butsu", believe in Amida's promise to deliver you into the Pure Land when you recite his name, believe in the 4 Noble Truths, and follow the Eightfold Path.

That's basically it to becoming a Pure Land Buddhist. Also take refuge - say "I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha". The Buddha being Gautama, the first teacher on Earth for our age the Dharma being the teachings, and the Sangha being all Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas (those who help you achieve enlightenment)

[benoityip]

Namu Amida Butsu is Japanese, are you Japanese

[CircusofPython]

"Namu Amida Butsu" is the Japanese transliteration of the Sanskrit "Namo Amitabha Buddhaya". It's not Japanese, it's just the Japanese pronunciation of the original Sanskrit.

I personally find Japanese easier to speak than Sanskrit (as I know Japanese and not Sanskrit), so I would pronounce the Japanese pronunciation and not the Sanskrit. If you feel you can pronounce the Sanskrit, then go ahead. There's no problem with it.

[jrly86]

Thanks for adding this video!

[smurkledunk]

Can someone reply to this comment and say Namo Amitabha in Chinese charecters. PLEASE!

[Firewarrior67]

[InvisibleSatsang]

It probably is not right, I don't speak Chinese, that is just how bablefish translated it...

[Augustus077]

@Firewarrior67 Oh what you were asking for is this: 南无阿弥陀佛 (Pinyin: Namo Amitofuo). Bear in mind this is in standard writing for Mandarin.

All hail Amitabha Budha, and Guan Shi Yin Bodhissattva, may all beings in all realms be allowed to reborn in the Western Pureland
