My new ritual

*edited as some questions arise on the chanting calculator*

The chanting calculator is to replace the rosary beads There are two buttons on it. The bigger button is to press each time I chant "Amituofo". I will check the number on the calculator when I think it is about time for 200 times  The smaller button is to reset the number.
It will be perfect, if it can buzz when I chant up to the number that I pre-set it. May have to wait for the next invention.

As a Buddhist, I learned to chant not too long ago.

I started when I brought my kids to Buddhist Chanting class on weekend. We learned chanting there together. At home we chant "Namo Amituofo" for ten times before we go to bed.

The is considered as the most basic practice that we have as the Buddhist ritual.

I got three green chanting calculators for free from the Buddhist society that I went.  I put one in my car, one in my bedroom and one in my children's bedroom. I am now chanting more often than before.
I try to chant "Amituofo" at least 200 times a day.

I don't actually pray a lot, I don't frequently visit Buddhist temple, I don't often have vegetarian on the first and the fifteen day of Chinese Lunar Calendar.

The least thing that I can do is to chant whenever I am alone. I chant when I drive to work in the morning. I chant when I have an insomnia. I chant when my kids and my spouse are all occupied. I chant in whatever position that I feel comfortable. I chant when lying on the bed, I chant when I sit on the couch, I chant when standing and facing the Buddha. Instead of doing nothing, I chant wholeheartedly and silently in my heart.

Through the daily practice of chanting  "Amituofo", I shall gradually improve myself so that I shall be able to deal with worldly matters more openly and with less attachment. I believe, by each individual improving ultimately society will be saved.
