"The Buddha Box is a beautiful and practical enhancement to my meditation practice. I highly recommend it."

1.What is "Buddha Box"?
Buddhist Chant Machines are small, portable sound machines containing a number of different Buddhist chants, given out at Buddhist temples throughout the world. They are intended for use when it's just not possible to get to a temple, or if you just wanted to chant/meditate on the go. Each box usually contains either two or more chants, they particularly contain, "Amituofo" & "Namo Amituofo" (Chinese for Amitabha Buddha.)
Being Buddhist myself, I found myself wishing I had my Buddhist Chant Machine with me at times I had either forgotten it, or the batteries were dead. Being an iPhone owner, I decided to make an app that would allow me to have my very own personal "Buddha Box" with me at all times!
This "Buddha Box" contains...
- 6 beautiful "boxes" that represent actual boxes, in an array of colors.
- 9 different chants, some just a monk chanting, some with monks chanting with soothing meditative music behind it, and a few just "instrumental" versions of "Namo Amituofu".
- 6 different Tibetan instrument sounds. 3 Tibetan singing bowls & 3 Tibetan Tingsha Cymbals.(Tibetan singing bowls activate different chakra's in the body, and produce different meditative results. Try them all and be enlightened!)
- Each chant is a clear, CD quality audio file.
- you can mix and match any box with any chant.
- each chant will play endlessly, with no interruption! listen to beautiful chants for hours on end...
- you can time your meditation/chanting with the shut-off timer
- "fade out" option, to fade chant/song option at timer end
- "gong alert" option to play Tibetan gong at timer end
- all controls can be hidden with a simple "double-tap"to show only the "Buddha Box" style you choose!
***PLEASE read the "Help" section in the app for further instructions!***

Multipurpose – suitable for group or individual chanting.

3. About Amitabha Buddha name Recitation
Recitation of the name “Amituofo” is a way to purify our minds, our thoughts and our environment. When our minds are serene and compassionate, our living environment will become tranquil. The benefits from this kind of thought wave is amazing, able to neutralize the turbulent thought waves even from others’ greed, anger, ignorance and arrogance.
And everyone can benefit from this recitation regardless of religion.
Everyone can take part in Chanting for Peace in their home - just turn on the Buddha Box and chant along with it!
