GUIDED MEDITATION: 'Buddho' - Recollection of the Buddha

On occasion of Vesak Full Moon, which commemorates the birth, supreme awakening and final Parinibbāna of the Buddha, Ajahn Dhammasiha guides a meditation on 'Buddhānussati', recollection of the Buddha.An easy way of maintaining mindfulness on the Buddha is simply by mentally repeating 'Buddho' continuously, like a mantra.However, the point of the meditation is not just the repetition of this word, but the emotions and feelings that are aroused in our heart while repeating the mantra: Faith, devotion, conficence, conviction and spiritual affection to the Buddha.By keeping the mind focussed on the mantra, these emotions will naturally grow, become stronger, and finally can carry our mind into samādhi.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
