To attain the state of One Mind Undisturbed,
there is only one method.

In the beginning, when one chants,
one must count the beads
and be very aware of the count.

One must determine the number of chants
one will practice every day
and practice accordingly without fail.

After one has practiced like this a long time,
the chanting will become a habit
and one will chant naturally.

At that time,
it does not matter
whether one counts or not while chanting.
