The Dashizhi Bodhisattva’s Perfect Penetration through Mindfulness of the Buddha states:
"If a sentient being keeps the Buddha in mind and recites the Buddha’s name, whether in the present or in the future, they will surely see the Buddha and will not be far from Him. Just as a person who comes into contact with fragrant substances naturally carries their scent, so too is this called the adornment of fragrance and light."
If sentient beings constantly remember and recite the Buddha’s name in their hearts, they will not be far from Him, and sooner or later, they will undoubtedly see the Buddha. By wholeheartedly chanting the Buddha’s name, without relying on other expedient methods, one will naturally awaken to their true nature. This is akin to how a person who stays near fragrant incense will inevitably be imbued with its scent. Thus, the practice of mindfulness of the Buddha is also known as the adornment of fragrance and light.
Namo amitofo🙏 may all sentient beings constantly chant and remember amitabha and all Buddha's virtues and kindness. May we carry their wisdom and compassion while chanting.

I’m new to this. Is there a pronunciation guide somewhere? I’ve listened to recordings but I can’t quite pick it up for the chants.
