Merits of Buddha-Name Recitation:

Staying away from disasters and keeping safe - Various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas protect people who recite Buddha names to stay away from all calamities, to be safe and auspicious.

Reciting Buddha names for the extinction of sins - One recitation of the Buddha's name can exterminate the sinful deeds that bind one to births and deaths in eight billion kalpas.

Holding the recitation to gain blessings - The merit from one recitation of the Buddha's name is greater than that of the offering to the Buddha and arhats with seven jewels from the four continents.

Manifesting the fruit of seeing the Buddha - The sentient beings who recite the Buddha's name shall surely manifest the fruition of seeing the Buddha.

To be welcomed upon birth in the Buddha Land - At the end of one's life, one shall be welcomed by manifested bodies of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas in radiant lights, to be born in the Buddha Land.

You are warmly welcome to spread the word and join in this Dharma feast. Immeasurable merit and virtue! Amitabha Buddha!
