Buddha-mindfulness, buddhanusm?ti in Sanskrit and nianfo (??) in Chinese, is one of the most widely practiced Buddhist Dharma-doors for the cultivation of meditative concentration and the securing rebirth in Buddha's pure land. This book provides simple guidelines on how a practitioner can progress from the phenomena-based methods, such as oral and mental recitation of Buddha's name, to signless mindfulness of Buddha, and finally, to principle-based Buddha-mindfulness, that is, Buddha-mindfulness in Ultimate Reality. The author emphasizes that the practice of Buddha-mindfulness has to be adjusted and fine-tuned as the practitioner's power of mental concentration deepens, so that he or she can eventually rely on this power of concentration to directly realize the Ultimate Reality, to "awaken" to the True Mind.
