[huerta]

I have done chanting for two weeks now. I chant becos I felt it is time I chant. I do not know why but I just stop resisting it and just chant.

So I am chanting becos I feel it is time but not becos of the main reason. So I am chanting blindly without a right understanding.

Will guys be kind enough to tell me the reason of chants and what sort of understanding you guys have for chanting?

Peace be with all of you.

Hi xenusfreeman,

Chanting can help to settle one's mind. It can be used as a reminder of the daily practice one needs to do and/or used for devotional purposes.

In general there are various different types of chanting, depending on the tradition of Buddhism one is following.

Could tell us exactly what it is that you are chanting, please - and if you are doing it in English or not -and then it will be easier to comment.


with kind wishes
