What happens when you recite sutras?

I read your consultation.

I'm not a Shingon sect, Tendai sect, or Nichiren sect, but the Jodo Shinshu sect, but excuse me.

What is the difference between (1) and (2) a, which you gave as an example

Monk A has special powers
B-sutras have special powers
When Monk C recites sutras, special powers are activated

That may be expected, but as a personal interpretation, there is no such thing as A, B, or C.
Therefore, there is no such thing as generating special forces or effects for (1) and (2) a-ka only in any case.

So when it comes to chanting (praising) sutras, it's to hear the truth and encounter teachings.
Also, when reciting (praising) sutras as rituals, I think it also has the meaning of entrusting our feelings that cannot be made in time (can't be expressed) in public language to words that express the truth called sutras.

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, it refers to “onembutsu” from “Namu Amida Buddha,” but I recommend Shomyo Nembutsu. You mean praising them with your own words.
Listen with your own ears when you praise them with your own mouth. Then, with questions about why I'm singing nembutsu now, and why I'm listening to nembutsu now, I'm asking “the history and wishes that the teaching of onembutsu” = “the history and wishes that have been brought up to me.”

There, the appearance of oneself as something untrue is revealed, and true teachings are discovered as revealing the appearance of one's own body.

The truth is that the truth comes to me as a fact. Shakyamuni, who was the first Buddha, is a person who has awakened to the truth. If I had to say that the various teachings preached by Shakyamuni reached me as truth, it would be a merit.

If I were to expect merit as some kind of tangible reward (an event convenient for me), it wouldn't matter in that sense. This is because Buddha is neither the ruler of fate nor the creator of the world, so he does not give rewards and punishments.

The Buddha woke up to the truth and simply preached the truth. The sutras are a way for that truth to reach me as truth.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

When I searched for sutras, there were 1605 questions and answers...

I think it will take time to hit everything, but I think there are some things that can be used as a reference.

To put it simply, reading sutras is to learn Shakyamuni's 84,000 Dharma and practice Buddhism.

The merits of that practice will further turn towards everyone's enlightenment in order for everyone to be saved.

It is important that all of this is beneficial for the practice of Buddhism, even if it is a matter of fact.

The problem is that it is difficult to understand content even when read, or how to put it into practice, such as nembutsu, titles, mantras, etc., but it also has the significance of strengthening Buddhist relationships as a practice (practice) in order to eventually be able to understand and be connected to practice so that you can understand it, even if you don't understand it now.

In any case, I think it can be said that it is for the practice of Buddhism.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

Sutras are books explaining the teachings of Buddhism.
However, in the time of the Buddha, the Buddha's teachings were not written in letters; everyone recited them and shared information by word of mouth.
When you recite sutras, you remember and reaffirm the teachings that the Buddha preached.
In other words, it is a training that fosters a strong Buddhist line of thought.
It is good for everyone to do it under the guidance and direction of a monk.
Actually, I want you to read the sutras aloud with the monk.
Reading the sutras creates a good habit in my heart.
A good habit called merit builds up.

At memorial services and funerals, I put in the feeling that the merits of everyone reading the sutras will be used for the happiness of those who have died.
Also, it has the meaning of reading the teachings aloud to those who have passed away.
We recite sutras under the guidance of monks so that we, the living and those who have died, can both understand the teachings to eliminate our worries and suffering more deeply and reach enlightenment.
Also, if you recite sutras, you can convey the teachings even if the book is burned, so there is an advantage in reading and memorizing it over and over again.

The answers are out, but thank goodness...

The Nichiren sect recites the Lotus Sutra
As a denomination, they are more conscious of “career (power of sutras).”

Recite the sutras loudly in 100 Days of Atrocity
Even when my throat is crushed, I keep reciting sutras and gain experience.

That doesn't mean the boy is special
As you can see in the question
“The Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō is the same no matter who gives it.”

If I were to give you a slightly different point when reciting sutras

A. The bill I got at the temple
Monks “may the wishes of the petitioner be fulfilled”
The person himself is a “pledge of devotion for fulfillment”

B. Buddhist paintings and Buddha statues that are particularly enshrined in the house
c. Buddhist paintings and Buddha statues on Buddhist altars
Ka. Buddhist paintings and Buddha statues in the main hall of the temple
Basically, it is a dedication of the Dharma to the Buddha.
When we open our eyes, we do special modifications.

e. Buddhist altar plates, oh graves
For memorial services for those who are turning.

As you can see in the question, in the Shingon sect, my friend a monk said that they chant a secret sentence, tie a seal, and “bridge the Buddha.” So there is a difference between ordinary people who don't know the seal.

There is a suicide note in Grandfather's words meaning “babies grow up when they get it even if they don't know the nutritional content of breast milk, and they will heal if they take it even if they don't know the ingredients or effects of cold medicine.”
“Because it's like this, so” it's not about reading sutras...
Whether you don't know it or not, it's probably better to just recite the sutras and get the answer yourself (^ people ^)
