recite sutras

Reciting sutras benefits oneself and one's family and represents spreading the teachings of the Buddhadharma. It can also benefit other sentient beings who are hearing the recitation. Its ultimate purpose is that we observe the teachings of the sutra and act accordingly.

We recite Buddhist sutras to transform our mind, thereby removing our evil deeds and inclinations and moving toward good, which helps to reduce our bad karma and increase our good karma.
