Reciting sutra will increase wisdom?
yes, the principle is the same with reciting mantra or Buddha's
Name, which is to DISPLINE the MIND. which mean
when your mind is focus in reciting, then the mind become still,
and when it's still, wisdom will arise.
our mind is like a hanging lamp lights swinging in the center of
a dark room. we won't be able to see clearly the inside of the
room, when the lamp is moving around non stop. so Buddha's
principle is to stop the mind. when the lamp stay still, what it
shine will be clearer to see. similarly when the mind is still the
wisdom we originally had in our Buddhanature will surface up per
se.
those meditator who count breath also follow the same principle.
One disciple of Buddha use sweeping the floor while reciting a
stanza also follow the same principle.
hence that said, there are 84000 methods of disiplining the
mind, and if Buddha know you very well, u can be concentrating on
walking, or even eating mindfully, hearing, bowing to Buddha, doing
some routine action...all this can also be use to Disciple the mind. however for
me, is recommend Reciting Buddha's Name "Amituofo", as it got added
Power from Amituofo.
