We definitely feel the connectedness with Dharma (the Buddha's teaching), we feel the spirit being lifted up, the awakening and the settling of the mind to enter meditation. We will become bright, enduring, detached, diligent, generous, loving, understanding and so on . . . because we practice following the chanting and the role model of Buddhas.Chanting out loud or silently listening to chanting can also be very relaxing as we go about our day. It can be used to calm our mind before work or sleeping.For the sake of all the general practitioners, there are some changes, combinations, additions, reductions, and creations made in this English version.

Every day Nuns and Buddhists at H¿¿ng Sen Buddhist Temple, California, USA, have practiced and recited following the Vietnamese scripture, "Nghi L¿ Hàng Ngày - 50 Kinh T¿ng và các L¿ Vía trong N¿m" (Daily Chanting - Fifty Discourses and Annual Festivals) of the Pureland Sect, which was composed in 2021 by Bhikkhun¿ Thích N¿ Gi¿i H¿¿ng. It is based on the original ritual of her late Master, the Venerable Elder H¿i Tri¿u Âm at Liên Hoa Temple and D¿¿c S¿ Temple. Since many Vietnamese-Americans, Hispanic, native Americans, and English speakers have come to Huong Sen Temple in search of practice and ritual, Bhikkhun¿ Gi¿i H¿¿ng composed an English version of DAILY MONASTIC CHANTING. It encompasses 16 popular rituals to serve the spiritual needs of any Buddhist sect, including the Pure Land and Meditation Traditions as below:Practice MeditationThe Ceremony for PeaceThe Rice Offering to BuddhasThe Lunch Offering at the Dining HallThe Ritual Offering Food To Hungry GhostsThe Pureland Course of Amitabha SutraThe Medicine Buddha SutraThe New Year CeremonyThe Great Parinirvana CeremonyThe Buddha's Birthday CeremonyThe Ullambana Festival (Parents' Day)The Marriage CeremonyThe Blessing Ceremony for The DeceasedThe Ancestral CeremonyThe Enlightened Buddha CeremonyThe Uposatha Ceremony (Reciting Precepts)With regard to mindful chanting, we take sources from the sacred book, Chanting from the Heart: Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practices of Thích Nh¿t H¿nh. In the field of the Pureland School, we have taken material from the above Vietnamese scripture, "Nghi L¿ Hàng Ngày," and translated it into English.We should chant at least once a week, any place and any time, or more often if we have more time. The chant will help to avoid negative thoughts, defilements, distractions -any of the myriad things that intrude into the one-pointed mind. We definitely feel the connectedness with Dharma (the Buddha's teaching), we feel the spirit being lifted up, the awakening and the settling of the mind to enter meditation. We will become bright, enduring, detached, diligent, generous, loving, understanding and so on . . . because we practice following the chanting and the role model of Buddhas.Chanting out loud or silently listening to chanting can also be very relaxing as we go about our day. It can be used to calm our mind before work or sleeping.For the sake of all the general practitioners, there are some changes, combinations, additions, reductions, and creations made in this English version. This is the first time that both traditions have been combined in an English version for the necessary needs at Huong Sen Buddhist Temple. We would like to gratefully acknowledge with special thanks the Buddhas, Boddhisattvas, Sanghas, the English translators, Master Thích Nh¿t H¿nh, our Late Respectful Teacher - Venerable Elder Bhikkhun¿ H¿i Tri¿u Âm and others. You all provided us the awakening words to remind and guide us in the right way of practice. We will keep chanting, learning and practicing it until we and all beings get the enlightenment as well as realize our Buddha nature.
