Từ lâu các kinh sách Phật Giáo Việt Nam bị ảnh hưởng bởi ngôn ngữ âm Hán Việt của Trung Quốc. Từ những thế kỷ 20 (năm 2000 trở đi) các kinh sách dần dần đã được chư tôn thiền đức Tăng Ni chuyển qua quốc ngữ tiếng Việt, để Phật tử dễ đọc, nhất là những vị chưa có kiến thức về âm Hán Việt.Người biên soạn xuất gia tại Chùa Liên Hoa, Bình Thạnh, với Tôn Sư Hải Triều Âm, các kinh sách trong Chùa tụng bằng tiếng Việt do Tôn sư chuyển ngữ. Từ năm 2005 trở đi, người biên soạn định cư và hoằng pháp tại Hoa Kỳ. Nhiều Chùa ở Hoa Kỳ vẫn còn tụng kinh bằng âm Hán Việt và nhiều nơi phải tụng bằng tiếng Anh cho người bản địa và thế hệ con cháu thứ hai sanh tại Mỹ có thể tụng hiểu được. Phật tử Việt tụng kinh bằng tiếng Việt mà vẫn chưa hiểu được ý nghĩa ẩn sâu trong lời kinh và càng bối rối hơn khi tụng kinh bằng bằng âm Hán Việt. Đó là lý do thúc đẩy, chùa Hương Sen biên soạn một cuốn "NGHI LỄ HÀNG NGÀY" bằng tiếng Việt và tổng hợp gần 50 bài kinh: Các bài kinh mà chư Ni và Phật tử thường tu tập tụng niệm hàng ngày để nhiếp thân khẩu ý, chánh niệm tỉnh giác, sám hối tội lỗi, thâm nhập lời Phật, khai mở Phật trí.Các bài kinh tụng phổ biến cảm ân đức của Chư Phật và Bồ tát, sư trưởng, cha mẹ, đất nước, đàn na tín thí để phục vụ các ngày lễ Vía Phật giáo.Các nghi thức phục vụ đại đồng chúng sanh như phóng sanh, hằng thuận (đám cưới), cầu an (cầu cho bịnh nhân), cầu siêu (cầu cho người chết), cúng linh, tang lễ, an táng, hỏa táng, vv... đáp ứng nhu cầu tâm linh tôn giáo cho quần chúng. Tài liệu biên soạn dựa vào các nghi tụng của Chùa Dược Sư - Tịnh Độ Ni Viện Hải Triều Âm (Tôn Sư Hải Triều Âm), Chùa Phật Tổ (Hòa Thượng Thích Thiện Thanh), Làng Mai (Sư Ông Nhất Hạnh) và Chùa Giác Ngộ (Thượng Tọa Thích Nhật Từ), vv... Là hậu học, kiến thức và sự tu tập còn hạn hẹp, trong lúc biên soạn, sẽ có nhiều thiếu xót không thể tránh khỏi, kính mong Chư tôn thiền đức Tăng Ni và thiện hữu tri thức thương xót chỉ dạy để lần sau tái bản được hòan chỉnh hơn. Chúng con thành kính tri ân.Nếu có chút công đức nào, xin nguyện hồi hướng cầu siêu cho hương linh thân phụ Phạm Văn Danh (Pd Chánh Đức Minh) và hương linh thân mẫu Trần Thị Sáu (Pd Bổn Ẩn) cùng tất cả chúng sanh trong 10 phương thế giới sớm giải thoát giác ngộ, trở về Phật tâm vốn có.Linh quang riêng chiếu, vượt khỏi căn trầnThể bày chân thường, chẳng kẹt văn tựTâm tánh không nhiễm, vốn tự viên thànhChỉ lìa vọng duyên, tức như như Phật.(Thiền sư Bá Trượng)Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật.Nắng Xuân Tân Sửu, Phật lịch 2565 - Dương lịch năm 2021, Thành tâm kính lạy, Hậu học: Thích Nữ Giới Hương

Sri Lanka is a beautiful teardrop-shaped island in the Indian Ocean. It is a country based on the Buddha's philosophy nurtured for more than 2,600 years. The message of the Buddha's compassion and wisdom penetrated deep into the Sinhalese island. The spiritual practice of precepts-samadhi-wisdom as taught by the Buddha is an indispensable part of the daily life of Sri Lankans. Looking at the past, especially during the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, the ancient Sinhala culture and Buddhist monks were influenced by Western countries. How did the Sri Lankan Sangha find a solution to adopt the conceptual modernization and still keep their traditions in Sri Lankan Buddhist society? How did the Sri Lanka Buddhist monks use their means, efforts, and contributions for the sake of this cause? These historical points serve as a compelling invitation to welcome international monastics and scholars from various nations who wish to visit and immerse themselves in this rich cultural heritage.Under the warm sunlight of July 16, 2023, on the beautiful grounds of the Sri Lanka Vidyala Maha Piriven in Colombo, Sri Lanka, there were many bright golden robes of Asian monastics from Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Burma, Cambodia, Taiwan, and Vietnam. They were gathered to participate, learn and experience this Sri Lanka historical high mark, a seminar on "Buddhism in Sri Lanka during the Period of the Nineteenth to Twenty-first Centuries." It was organized by the Maha Mahinda International Dharmadutha Society with the collaboration and sponsorship of Huong Sen Buddhist Temple, California, USA.At this seminar, many learned monastics, speakers, delegates, spiritual leaders, and researchers presented their meaningful papers to shine light on this matter for listeners and readers. They were Prof. Ven. Medagama Nandawansa Thera (Patron, Maha Mahinda International Dharmadutha Society and Chief Incumbent of Sri Lanka Vidyalaya Maha Pirivena), Dr. Ven. Kahawatte Siri Sumedha (Chief Incumbent of Jambudvipa, Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple, Varanasi, India), Mr. Sanath Ediriweera (Chairman, Public Service Commission and the Honorable Secretary of the Maha Mahinda International Dharmadutha Society), Ven. Prof. Beligalle Dhammajoti (Professor at the Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Ruhuna), Ven. Taldena Ariyawimala and Dr. A.A.R. Priyanka (Senior Lecturers of the Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Ruhuna), the talented MC, Ven. Prof. Raluwe Padmasiri (Professor at the Department of Buddhist Thought, Postgraduate Institute of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Kelaniya), Ven. Sooriyawewe Somananda Thera (the Principal of the Sri Lanka Vidyala Maha Pirivena), Ven. Ketagoda Wimalajothi Thera (Deputy Principal, Sri Lanka Vidyalaya Maha Pirivena), Ven. Bhikkhuni Madulle Vijithananda (Abbess of Sakyadhita Training and Meditation Center), Dr. Ven. Bhiksuni Gioi Huong (Lecturer at Vietnam Buddhist University in HCM City and Abbess, Huong Sen Buddhist Temple, California, USA), Rev. O.U. Dhammadheera, Ms. M. D. Sachini Hansika Chandrapala, Mr. Anuda Kanchana, and Mrs. K.V.J. Koshalee (Lecturer at the Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Ruhuna). These papers are rich in knowledge, analysis, and information on Sri Lankan Buddhist history with specific focus on the period of the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. They have been gathered together and are slated for publication in a book, which will serve as a valuable and dependable resource for academic studies and research.Huong Sen Buddhist Temple, September 30, 2023With Metta, The Editorial Board

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 3 volumes of the English version of WEEKLY BUDDHIST DISCOURSE CHANTING.The first volume includes 54 popular Buddhist discourses from the sources of "The Middle Length Discourses of The Buddha" (Majjhima Nik¿ya), "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha" (Samyukta Agama), "Increased by One Discourses" (Anguttara Nikaya), "Chanting from the Heart" (Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practices) of Thích Nh¿t H¿nh, "Daily Chanting-50 Discourses and Annual Festivals" of Huong Sen Temple and others.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.If there is any merit in compiling this book, may it be shared with all sentient beings. May they diligently practice and soon gain the way of love and understanding. H¿¿ng Sen Temple, Riverside, CaliforniaMarch 7, 2023Bhikkhun¿ TN Gi¿i H¿¿ng

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.

Modern life makes us feel tired, not peaceful, always troubled and unstable.

Reading the Buddha's name of Pure Land Sect is also a popular way leading to the pointness.If we sincerely and earnestly recite the phrase Namo Amitabha Buddha every moment, every day and keep this practice for a long time, we will see the wonderful of Amitabha Buddha at present. We will reach the sublime state of Samadhi of Buddha invocation.The practice of Huong Sen Buddhist Temple belongs to both sects of Meditation and Pure Land.

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.

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.

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. If there is any merit in compiling this book, may it be shared with all sentient beings. May they diligently practice and soon gain the way of love and understanding.Bhikkhun¿ TN Gi¿i H¿¿ng [1] Please read: http://www.huongsentemple.com/index.php/vn/phat-phap/kinh-ta-ng-ca-a-cha-a-hs/6256-nghi-le-hang-ngay-20.
