Every day Nuns and Buddhists at H??ng Sen Buddhist Temple, California, USA, have practiced and recited following the Vietnamese scripture, "Nghi L? Hang Ngay - 50 Kinh T?ng va cac L? Via trong Nam" (Daily Chanting) - Fifty Discourses and Annual Festivals) of the Pureland Sect, which was composed in 2021 by Bhikkhuni Thich N? Gi?i H??ng. It is based on the original ritual of her late Master, the Venerable Elder H?i Tri?u Am at Lien Hoa Temple and D??c S? Temple.

Since many Vietnamese-Americans, Hispanic, native Americans, and English speakers have come to Huong Sen Temple in search of practice and ritual, Bhikkhuni Gi?i H??ng composed 3 volumes of the English version of WEEKLY BUDDHIST DISCOURSE CHANTING.The first volume includes 54 popular Buddhist discourses from the sources of "The Middle Length Discourses of The Buddha" (Majjhima Nikaya), "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha" (Samyukta Agama), "Increased by One Discourses" (Anguttara Nikaya), "Chanting from the Heart" (Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practices) of Thich Nh?t H?nh, "Daily Chanting-50 Discourses and Annual Festivals" of Huong Sen Temple and others.

We should chant at least once a week, any place and any time, or more often if we have more time. The chant will help to avoid negative thoughts, defilements, distractions-any of the myriad things that intrude into the one-pointed mind. We definitely feel the connectedness with Dharma (the Buddha's teaching), we feel the spirit being lifted up, the awakening and the settling of the mind to enter meditation. We will become bright, enduring, detached, diligent, generous, loving, understanding and so on . . . because we practice following the chanting and the role model of Buddhas.Chanting out loud or silently listening to chanting can also be very relaxing as we go about our day. It can be used to calm our mind before work or sleeping.For the sake of all the general practitioners, there are some changes, combinations, additions, reductions, and creations made in this English version. This is the first time that both traditions have been combined in an English version for the necessary needs at Huong Sen Buddhist Temple.We would like to gratefully acknowledge with special thanks the Buddhas, Boddhisattvas, Sanghas, the English translators, Master Thich Nh?t H?nh, our Late Respectful Teacher - Venerable Elder Bhikkhuni H?i Tri?u Am and others. You all provided us the awakening words to remind and guide us in the right way of practice. We will keep chanting, learning and practicing it until we and all beings get the enlightenment as well as realize our Buddha nature.If there is any merit in compiling this book, may it be shared with all sentient beings. May they diligently practice and soon gain the way of love and understanding.
