1, without an answer? Beginners should not understand the Heart Sutra first. Use your natural instinct to slowly understand its meaning. After the epiphany, you can refer to a monk's explanation and slowly help the change of physical and mental health.
2. abandon the text? When reciting the Heart Sutra, it is best to abandon the words, which will make people cling to it and hinder the understanding of the truth of the Heart Sutra. If possible, at the beginning, it is best to listen to the scriptures by recording or CD-ROM, and the effect is better.
3. put your hands together? To recite the Heart Sutra, you can sit or lie flat, but you must put your hands together, and your upper and lower hands should face your heart.
4. Say a spell first? To recite the Heart Sutra is to recite a spell first, which is the last five sentences of the Heart Sutra. After reading it, I began to recite the text from the beginning. Mantras are transliterated in Sanskrit, and chanting mantras is equivalent to chanting Sanskrit. In this way, the Buddha's ability to sneak into the heart is the best.
5. read it yourself? The Heart Sutra can be read to yourself or to others. For example, when friends and relatives encounter bad things, they can recite the Heart Sutra for them, call each other's names lightly or see each other's faces in their minds. When reciting to yourself, you'd better think of a bright future or a vision for the future. But you can't imagine lying, drinking, killing, stealing, fornication and so on.
6. Recite it ten thousand times? The more times you recite the Heart Sutra, the better. More than 10,000 times is the best. You must recite it every day, and the time to recite it is chosen before going to bed at night, preferably at 9 am. At this time, lay people on all avenues are chanting, which has the best magnetic field atmosphere. Recite it ten times a day, and you can recite it ten thousand times in three years.
