Learning Buddhism starts with Taking Refuge

Yes. What is required is a quantum shift of perception through direct experiential realization, a direct experiential awakening. Concepts are not important and are ultimately to be relinquished.

Amazing that alot of buddha seeds are progressing as the lotus sutra stated it -若人散乱入於塔庙ä¸, 一称å�—æ— ä½›çš†å·²æˆ�ä½›é�“。Buddha Sakyamuni was having only a meal per day, who lived and delivered dharma under a tree. Apparently, the common sense would prevail that the problem solving is entirely different on its root cause. As for pureland, according to sutra - 亿亿万人修行,罕一得é�“, 唯ä¾�念佛,得度生æ»-å�³æ˜¯å‡€åœŸæ³•é—¨ã€‚Namaste. Namo Amitabha Buddha

Hi honourable Sir/madam/in between (lastime)
, for instance in maths, maths questions are created for problem-solving to take place. Without the creator, problem is free as question never existed.To further, maths is simply in the eyes of the non-formal education old folks, to pay for marketing of groceries, clothing and some remainder is donated to the needies while the rest is for their children. The complexity started off upon desire and greed overcharged due to insecurity known as politicism and capitalism, that diluting the grace of sentient beings and caused envirnomental upheaval and revenge as well

Namo means ‘I take refuge in'
Namo Amitabha Buddha means I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha.
It is to be recited.

Yes but normally we chant or recite Namo Amitabha buddha or Namo Guan Shi Ying Pu Sa. Normally no one chant or recite Namo Buddha.

There are people who meditate on the word 'Buddho'.
from: http://www.purifymind.com/Buddho.htm
" If you go to a teacher experienced in meditating on buddho, he will have you repeat buddho, buddho, buddho, and have you keep the mind firmly in that meditation word until you are fully skilled at it. Then he will have you contemplate buddho and what it is that is saying buddho. Once you see that they are two separate things, focus on what is saying buddho. As for the word buddho, it will disappear, leaving only what it is that was saying buddho. You then focus on what it is that was saying buddho as your object. "

Let me offer my interpretation : All boils down to self, simple maths are sufficent for folks who live simply, however, due to our selfish reasons, we use our intelligence and use complex maths formula to manipulate and play with numbers for our own selfish gain. So without Self, the creator, unneccessary sufferings would have not been created!Originally posted by lastime:
