Audio Aids

Many practitioners like to use a chanting machine, which is a small plastic box that contains a computer chip. The chip continuously plays chanting music and allows us to always have the chanting with us. Although we may not always consciously focus on the sound of the chanting, the machine serves as an excellent aid to keep the sound at least on a lower level of awareness, ready to rise to our consciousness whenever we wish.

CDs and audio tapes are a very good alternative and the contents can be transferred easily to MP3 players. You may also download some chants from the Amitabha Gallery.
