Chanting sutras should be both dedication and vows, otherwise what are you chanting for?

author:Chonghe Zen language

Hello everyone, I'm Chonghe,

Recently, there have been a lot of friends and I want to dedicate to the text, to be honest, I really didn't know at first, some scriptures are not followed by the dedication. Maybe it's all a big dedication.

The dedication text of the Dizang Sutra is more special, it is a small dedication text, reading and reciting the Dizang Sutra, it is necessary to first clean the magnetic field around you, and then enter a practice, it is easier, this is my personal opinion.

I have three kinds of dedication texts in my hands:

The first one is the dedication text of the Jizo Sutra that everyone asks for.

The second is a general dedication, in which you can seek the happiness of the people in the world, and it is also a general dedication to all the recitations of the homework in a day, for example, if someone recites the Lengyan mantra in a day, and also recites the Heart Sutra, and also recites the Diamond Sutra, you can make a general dedication.

The third thing is that I've been reading the Myoho-Lotus Sutra recently, which is a little dedication to this scripture that is a bit special and no longer follows the sutra, but before the sutra, and is with the vows.

Chanting is not only about dedication, but also about making a vow, and this small dedication and vow of the Myoho-Lotus Sutra is also very good.

The old monk once said: When chanting, you must make a vow. Especially when you recite Mahayana, you don't make a vow or dedicate yourself, so what do you do when you chant sutras? Not making a wish has little effect. Therefore, if you want to make a wish in advance of everything, what goal do you want to achieve, what do you hope for? It's not just the cultivation of the Jizo method, it's the same for any method.
