Buddha Recitation in a Low Voice
When the m ind is scattered, or when you are tired and weighed down by many pressing tasks, you need not recite aloud. You need only focus your m ind and thoughts and recite carefu ly in a low voice.
Only when your breath returns to normal, your spirits rise, and your m ind is calm and at peace, should you recite aloud.
若精神散失时,或劳极逼迫时,不必高声,自收敛神明,低声细念,候气息完固,精神勃兴,便可高声念佛。
Commentary
The purpose of reciting the Buddha’s name in a low voice is to treat the disease of scattered mind. There are times when the volume and pressure of work or other demanding activities make m ind and body overburdened and weary. At these times, it is better to recite in a low voice, as reciting aloud can only add fuel to the fire and increase the power of the demon of scattered mind. To recite in a low voice, with each word, each sentence clearly and carefu ly enunciated, gradually settles the mind. When that point is reached, one can then recite aloud.
