Questions on reciting Sutras

I recite Hear Sutra everyday. Must I think of the meaning when I read or let the meaning come naturally to me ?

By right, sutra recitation should be kept separate from contemplation of its meaning.

This thread may jog some memories...

Also see this thread which discusses whether one will gradually gain direct cognition of sutra contents via recitation.

These are informative threads, so do read them :)

Thanks. Realization.

So I divide it into 2 sessions. One simply chanting, one for pondering or comtempating for the meaning.

Thanks for your help.

I read heart sutra many times per day.

How do we know we attain single pointedness of Chanting Namo AMTF ?

single pointedness of Chanting Namo AMTF got two type:-

one is base on phenomena事一心 and the other base on Noumena 理一心.

single pointedness base on Noumena 理一心不乱 is equal to 明心见性 of the ch'an school.
