簡易佛法
如果有人來南禪精舍,請問我不用動腦的佛法修持問題,我的回答是:一樣念佛,目的只讓自己安定,(華人佛教徒,唸釋迦牟尼佛、觀世音菩薩、阿彌陀佛,隨個人的意願。)
我寫過了極樂世界是修行者個人的福報變現。
南禪精舍簡易的佛法是唸《般若心經》
我們的農曆初一、十五廻向也是唸《般若心經》,
《般若心經》是最貼近佛法,而且沒有太多的其他內容,
不論是唸誦,或是自己修持都實用。
提供參考,
感謝廣大的佛教菩薩們沒有責怪我。

A Simple Approach to the Dharma (A Calming Pill)
When visitors to Nanzen Vihara ask me about a form of Buddhist practice that requires minimal conceptual effort,
I respond as follows: just recite the Buddha’s name, with the primary aim of stabilizing the mind. (Chinese Buddhists may choose to recite the name of Shakyamuni Buddha, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, or Amitābha Buddha—according to personal preference.)
I have written before that the Pure Land is the result of a practitioner’s own merit.
At Nanzen Vihara, our simplest practice is reciting the Heart Sutra
On the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, when we dedicate merit, we also recite the Heart Sutra.
The Heart Sutra is closest to the essence of the Dharma and is free from excessive elaboration.
It is highly practical, both for chanting and for personal practice.
For your reference.
I am grateful that so many fellow Buddhists have not criticized me.
Without a doubt, the Dharma is the most worthy path to pursue.
To even one or two lines of the Heart Sutra is.
To truly understand even a single line of the Heart Sutra is already extraordinary attainment.
