"Avalokiteshvara Buddha (Quan Yin), the hearer and answerer of prayer, has visited all the Buddha-lands of the ten quarters of the universe and has acquired transcendental powers of boundless freedom and fearlessness and has vowed to emancipate all sentient beings from their bondage and suffering. … How sweetly mysterious is the Transcendental Sound of Avalokiteshvara! Is is the subdued murmur of the sea-tide setting inward. Its mysterious Sound brings liberation and peace to all sentient beings who in their distress are calling for aid." (Surangama Sutra, A Buddhist Bible, Dwight Goddard)

Venerable Hsuan Hua's commentary on The Surangama Sutra.

[mahayanapilgrim]

Chanting" Practice for the Disabled: A Path to Tranquility and Enlightenment

Foreword: In the realm of Buddhist practices, the Surangama Sutra and Pureland School of Buddhism have offered various techniques for attaining enlightenment. However, there has been a notable absence of guidance for individuals with disabilities in traditional teachings, particularly in the context of chanting the holy name of Amitabha. This article addresses this gap by introducing "chanting" practices tailored for people with different disabilities, based on the fundamental principles underlying Amitabha chanting.

Note: The author refers to an article written in Chinese in August 1991, titled "ݻ٩," which was included in the book "@Qu" for free distribution.

Introduction: The impermanence of all things is a fundamental teaching in Buddhism, and disability is considered an impermanent condition that can affect anyone at any time. Recognizing the growing awareness for the well-being of disabled individuals, the author emphasizes the need for practices that cater to various disabilities. The ultimate goal is to provide a path to peace and even enlightenment for those who may be unable to engage in traditional chanting practices.

"Chanting" Practice Overview: The practice of chanting Amitabha is described as a holistic training for both the mind and body. It involves concentration practice to eliminate distractions and broaden one's view, leading to the deepening of wisdom and compassion. The article asserts that the long-term practice of chanting Amitabha can bring about a constant sense of peace and a resilient attitude toward life's challenges.

Practices for Different Faculties: The author introduces various "chanting" practices based on specific human faculties. The classification includes practices for the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

1. "Chanting" by Eyes:

* Select an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva for daily viewing.

* Sit quietly at a set time, focusing on the image attentively.

* Gradually develop familiarity with the image to facilitate concentration and realization.

2. "Chanting" by Ears:

* Choose a chanting tape, preferably melodious.

* Listen daily at a set time for a definite period.

* Encourage continuous internal chanting by playing the tape frequently.

3. "Chanting" by Nose:

* Be mindful of the breath, following its flow in and out through the nostrils.

* Alternatively, be mindful of the sense of smelling without judgment.

* Both practices can be done daily or as desired, but not simultaneously.

4. "Chanting" by Tongue:

* Audibly or silently chant Amitabha with slight movement of the tongue.

* Rhythmically touch the upper palate with the tip of the tongue.

* Be mindful of the taste in the mouth without judgment.

* All three practices can be done daily or as desired, but not simultaneously.

5. "Chanting" by Body:

* Prostrate to an image or holy name with concentration and reverence.

* Use beads to maintain mindfulness through rhythmic movement.

* Feel the pulse on the wrist, being mindful of the pulsation.

* Tap a rhythmic tempo with a hand, foot, finger, or toe, being mindful of each tapping.

* All practices can be done daily or as desired.

6. "Chanting" by Mind:

* Continuously maintain a holy name, mantra, or melodious chanting in the heart.

* Consider any thought related to the merits or teachings of Buddha as a form of "chanting" on Buddha.

Conclusion: The article concludes by suggesting that individuals with normal faculties can choose a practice mentioned above to exercise their minds. For those who become disabled, the provided practices can be adapted or personalized based on the same underlying principles. The author also encourages the dissemination of these practices to disabled individuals and emphasizes the importance of dedicating merits to those unable to practice themselves.

Salutations: The article ends with salutations to Amitabha Buddha, the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, and Green Tara—expressing gratitude for their guidance and compassion toward all sentient beings, especially those facing difficulties.

Alcançar é Realização A prática exige que estejamos totalmente engajados, mas só podemos estar totalmente engajados abrindo mão de nós mesmos. Abandonar a nós mesmos significa abrir mão de todas as nossas aversões e apegos, todos os nossos medos e esperanças. Quando estamos mais nus, nós nos encontramos nos abraçados mutuamente: alcançando de um ao outro, alcançando POR um ao outro. Alcançar é realização.

[journeytothewestresearch]

To recap, Journey to the West casts the Tang Monk Tripitaka as the last incarnation of Master Golden Cicada (Jinchan zi, 金蟬子), the second disciple of the Buddha who is exiled from paradise for falling asleep during his master's sermon. Chapter 81 adds a second crime: kicking something in his slumber and making a single grain of rice fall to the ground.

This leads me to the point of this post. A reader contacted me the other day asking if Sariputra (Sk: शारिपुत्र; Pali: Sariputta; Ch. Shelifu, 舍利弗), a historical disciple of the Buddha, was the basis for Master Golden Cicada since he was known for having a golden glow about him. A cursory search didn’t turn up anything connecting them, but thanks to the reader’s prompt, I kept digging and was interested to learn that another disciple of Tathagata, Aniruddha (Sk: अनुरुद्ध; Pali: Anuruddha; Ch: Analu, 阿那律) (fig. 1), was known to have fallen asleep during his master’s sermon.

According to monk Jiaoguang’s (交光, fl. 1600) Dafo Dingshou Lengyan Jing Zhengmai Shuxu (大佛頂首楞嚴經正脉疏序, T. 275): 

Analu [Aniruddha] then stood up, bowed at the Buddha’s feet, and said to him respectfully … [->-> Commentary:] Changshui [1] says: Nalu, namely Anouloutuo, which means “free of poverty,” was a Rice Prince. He gave a meal to a Solitary Buddha in a past life and enjoyed happiness for 91 Kalpas. … “When I first entered the monastic life, I was too fond of sleep. The Thus-Come-One admonished me, saying that I was no better than an animal. After the Buddha scolded me, I rebuked myself and wept. For seven days I did not sleep, and as a result I went blind in both eyes.” [->-> Commentary:] Gushan [2] says: According to the Ekottara Agama, the Buddha was preaching the Law in Jetavana when Nalu fell asleep. The Buddha spoke in verse: “Tut-tut … Why are you sleeping? River snails, mussels, clams and the like sleep for a thousand years, never hearing the names of Buddhas.” Thereupon, Nalu made it known that he would never sleep again, and he soon lost his sight. [3] 阿那律陀即從座起，頂禮佛足而���佛言： 長水曰：那律即阿㝹樓䭾，此云無貧，亦云如意，乃白飯王子也。過去世以一食施辟支，感九十一劫受如意樂。 我初出家，常樂睡眠，如來訶我為畜生類。我聞佛訶，啼泣自責，七日不眠，失其雙目。 孤山曰：增一阿含云：佛在給孤園為眾說法，那律於中眼睡，佛說偈訶云：咄咄何為睡？螺螄蚌蛤類，一睡一千年，不聞佛名字。那律於是達曉不眠，眼根便失。 (source)

The term “Rice Prince” (Bifan wangzi, 白飯王子) refers to the fact that Aniruddha was the cousin of the Buddha and fellow grandson of King Sihahanu, whose sons, including the Buddha’s father (as mentioned above), all had the suffix odana (“rice”) as part of their names. Aniruddha’s father was Amitodana (“Unmeasured Rice”) (Nakamura, 2000, vol. 1, p. 46; Harvey, 2013, p. 117; Thomas, 1931/2013, p. 24).

Therefore, we have a Buddhist disciple who dozes off during the Buddha’s sermon and has an association with rice. This makes Aniruddha the best possible influence for Master Golden Cicada that I’ve seen. The story goes back to at least the 4th-century Zengyi ahan jingxu (增壹阿含經序, T. 125), so it would have been around long enough to eventually influence Journey to the West. 

I need to point out, however, that I’m not the first person to write about this. While I was finishing typing this update, I came across this article, which mentions Aniruddha in passing. But to my credit, I actually cited the historical Buddhist literature involved.

The Reason Why Golden Cicada was Banished from Heaven

Someone asked me a question about this fairly recently, but my answer appears to have been deleted. Anyway, I thought I would answer it again. In short, Master Golden Cicada (Jin chanzi, 金蟬子) fell asleep during the Buddha's sermon. But chapter 81 adds to the reason: accidentally kicking something and causing a single grain of rice to fall. This is explained while Tripitaka is deathly ill for a few days:

“You don’t realize that Master was the second disciple of our Buddha Tathagata, and originally he was called Elder Gold Cicada. Because he slighted the Law, he was fated to experience this great ordeal.” “Elder Brother,” said Eight Rules, […] “Why must he endure sickness [for two days] as well?” “You wouldn’t know about this,” replied Pilgrim. “Our old master fell asleep while listening to Buddha expounding the Law. As he slumped to one side, his left foot kicked down one grain of rice. That is why he is fated to suffer three days’ illness after he has arrived at the Region Below.” Horrified, Eight Rules said, “The way old Hog sprays and splatters things all over when he eats, I wonder how many years of illness I’d have to go through!” “Brother,” said Pilgrim, “you have no idea either that the Buddha is not that concerned with you and other creatures. But as people say: Rice stalks planted in noonday sun Take root as perspiration runs. Who knows of this food from the soil Each grain requires most bitter toil? Master still has one more day to go, but he’ll be better by tomorrow” (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 4, p. 82). 行者道：「獃子又胡說了，你不知道。師父是我佛如來第二個徒弟，原叫做金蟬長老，只因他輕慢佛法，該有這場大難。」八戒道：「哥啊，師父既是輕慢佛法，貶回東土，在是非海內，口舌場中，託化做人身，發願往西天拜佛求經，遇妖精就捆，逢魔頭就吊，受諸苦惱，也夠了，怎麼又叫他害病？」行者道：「你那裡曉得。老師父不曾聽佛講法，打了一個盹，往下一試，左��屣了一粒米，下界來，該有這三日病。」八戒驚道：「像老豬吃東西潑潑撒撒的，也不知害多少年代病是。」行者道：「兄弟，佛不與你眾生為念，你又不知。人云：『鋤禾日當午，汗滴禾下土。誰知盤中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。』師父只今日一日，明日就好了。」

This points to the supreme importance of rice in an agrarian society like ancient China.
