Stealth Buddha Remembrance (poem)

What is the sound of no lips flapping?

I can do it on a bus,
on a car, in a train.
I can do it for us,
near or far, or
even in the rain.
Silent practice is
stealth Buddha Remembrance!

Silence practice involves chanting the nembutsu without making a sound.

However, one must have performed the oral practice regularly before attempting as even when you shout in silence, only you are able to hear yourself think.

Thus it's important to have a recording of Buddha Remembrance involving the chanting of the Nembutsu to help you.

Otherwise you'll have to count with your fingers.
