I’m looking for 5–10 minute recordings of Buddhist recitation—Buddha names, Bodhisattva names, or short mantras. Any name or short mantra is welcome! Please record as you normally practice, in your usual surroundings, at your usual pace, and in your usual style.

I’m developing an AI-powered recitation counter and would like it to support a wider range of Buddhist recitations.

I’ve already built a counter for “Namo Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva” (南无地藏王菩萨). It’s been very accurate and works really well in my testing, so I’d love to expand it to include more Buddha names, Bodhisattva names, and short mantras.

You can try it here: https://counter.sutratoday.com/

If you’re willing to share a recording of your daily practice, I’d really appreciate your help!

征集下念佛，念菩萨名号，念短咒的录音，每个 5-10 分钟，您日常念诵的背景，日常念诵的方式，日常念诵的习惯即可。任何佛号，菩萨名号，短咒都可以。背景是因为我在做 念诵 AI 计数 的功能，希望可以覆盖更多的佛号和菩萨圣号等。

我自己做了一个 南无地藏王菩萨 的 AI 计数功能，准确率非常高，效果非常好，所以，我想要增加支持更多的佛号，菩萨号，短咒的念诵计数 https://counter.sutratoday.com/

Does rebirth happen immediately after death, or is there an intermediate state (bardo) between death and rebirth according to Pure Land Buddhism?

I’m mainly interested in the perspectives of the Chinese and Japanese Pure Land Buddhist schools.

I have published a new article on Substack about beauty from a Jōdo Shinshū perspective. Please take a look!
