Many people notice Buddhist practitioners reciting the name of Buddha. However, they do not understand the reasons behind. Does reciting "Namo Amituofo" really help?
The human body is a complex structure filled with plenty of 'spiritual spaces'. Countless spirits inhabit these spaces, creating disturbances that prevent the body from being at peace. In such moments, sincerely reciting "Namo Amituofo" can bring instant purification.
However, due to the complexity of the human body, the interference might still be significant. Therefore, one must continue to focus on reciting "Namo Amituofo" to gradually subdue the illusory thoughts in the mind and assist in purifying both body and mind.
Changgao observed this clearly—when people begin reciting "Namo Amituofo", it starts to purify and influence the spiritual spaces within the body, reducing the activity of the spirits. Originally restless and disruptive, these spirits are gradually subdued and calmed by the persistent recitation. As a result, they cease to exert strong negative effects on the body.
For instance, when someone suffers from a headache or other physical discomfort, they can sincerely recite "Namo Amituofo" without distraction or wandering thoughts. This heartfelt recitation purifies the spirits that cause disturbances in the affected area, alleviating pain and removing discomfort.
By persistently reciting "Namo Amituofo", the spiritual spaces within the body transform over time. The previously chaotic vibe becomes purified, and a person undergoes profound changes once the body is cleansed.
This process is akin to reciting 'Namo Amituofo' over a glass of water, which alters its crystal structure. All things contain spiritual spaces and spiritual essence, making them equally open to the influence of Buddha's teachings, bringing about profound changes.
(simplify without changing meaning)
One can achieve remarkable transformations by learning to calm a restless mind through this practice and regularly resting in the peace of Namo Amituofo.
