Comments on: How To: Pureland Practice (100 ~ 200) http://buddhavacana.net/2009/03/03/how-to-pureland-practice-100-200/ Have a nice day ... unless you have other plans!

I practice the (silent) oral recitation with my eyes closed on a daily basis. While I am reciting what should my eyes be doing? I try not to engage in visualization but then it is easy for me to lose focus. Can I keep visualization to a minimum by focusing on seeing the word "Amitoufo (in Chinese)" as I recite it. This method of seeing the word in my mind seems to help me focus much better. Your input will be most helpful. Thank you. Sincerely, A.H.Tan Dear Venerable,
