Is reciting Namo Amituofo difficult？

Is ‘Namo Amituofo’-recitation difficult? It's not difficult at all! It is not required to attain a state of meditative concentration in our recitation, we only need to recite according to our aptitude and capacity.

If you are monastic, recite as a monastic; If you are a householder, recite as a householder. Regardless of whether you are male or female, wise or slow-witted, learned or dull pure of mind or distracted, just recite "Namo Amituofo" according to your aptitude and state of mind.

Other than that, there are no requirements. Isn't that easy? All of us speak with our mouths, so use your mouth to recite "Namo Amituofo" "Namo Amituofo". All of us think with our minds, so use your mind to repeat "Namo Amituofo" "Namo Amituofo".

Just turn your mouth and mind towards the Buddha. As long as you have the will, recite the Buddha's name according to your capacity, and recite as much as you can when you have the time. That’s all. (Master Huijing)

【念佛困難嗎？】

文：慧淨法師

念佛有困難嗎？念佛沒有困難啊！也沒有要求我們功夫上的一心不亂，只要求-依-我們十方眾生的根機-去念佛。

你如果出家-就出家念佛，在家-就在家念佛；是男，是女；有智慧，沒有智慧；有學問，沒有學問；心清淨，心不清淨，都依你的根性、你的心境去念這句「南無阿彌陀佛」，除此之外，沒有半點要求，這樣不是很容易嗎？

因為我們都有嘴會說話，只不過現在起開始說「南無阿彌陀佛、南無阿彌陀佛……」；我們凡夫都會起心動念，現在開始起心念「南無阿彌陀佛」，動念念「南無阿彌陀佛……」，只不過把它轉過來而已。只要有這個心，隨你的能力去念佛，有時間就儘量念佛，這樣就可以了。
