As I have had opportunities to teach students of all age groups from 7 months to 21 years old in the UK, I have been able to accumulate experience in calming down students when they are emotionally ignited. I have found that the most effective solution for calming young children between 6 months and 5 years old is singing Amituofo to them, e.g., when they are anxious or taking a nap.

Listen to the podcast: Amituofo Chanting 1.

The younger, the more effective. It has worked for children of all cultural backgrounds, e.g., American, Canadian, English, French, German, Greek, Indian, Italian, Irish, New Zealand, Nigerian, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish, Russian, and Turkish.

If you are looking for a positive and effective way of calming children at home or at school, please play the audio recording Amituofo Chanting and see if it works.

A small tip: Use quality speakers to play the recording. This is because young children are particular responsive to their environments. The vibrations of the voice chanting Amituofo in the air is one of the key elements of calming a young child.

If you do give it a go and have a minute, please do let me know how it goes.

Best of luck.

Wishing whoever reads this post good mental and physical health, peace, harmony, auspiciousness, happiness, long life and infinite wisdom. Thank you.

DEDICATION

The effort and gains of explaining, transmitting and listening to Buddhas’ teachings are dedicated to:

the entire Universe and all beings of all dimensions and all existences. May they all listen to Buddhas’ teachings, awaken to the truth of the Universe, be mindful of the name ‘Amituofo’ (Amitabha Buddha),

aspire to go to the Pure Land, and become Buddhas. (Read the above three times)

I pray to Buddhas and bodhisattvas for unconditionally solving all man-made and natural disasters around the globe.

For all of those who died in man-made wars and natural disasters across the world,

and for all of those who are related to me in all kinds of ways in this life and previous lives, may they listen to Buddhas’ teachings. May they awaken to the truth of the Universe, aspire to unearth their innate and most sincere, pure, equal and awakened mind, be single-mindedly mindful of Amituofo, aspire to go to the Pure Land so as to see Amituofo and listen to his teachings, removing all their delusions and unveiling their innate wisdom, gaining the real peace and happiness, instantly escaping from the cycle of birth and death, speedily becoming Buddhas, and helping all beings (in the entire Universe) like all other Buddhas.

The effort and gains are dedicated to the leaders of all countries on the Earth. May all countries be prosperous. May all disasters be solved. May the world enjoy eternal peace. I use the effort and gains to return the help from the enlightenment of Buddhas, by the correctness of Buddhas’ teachings, from the purity of sangha, from all beings, from my parents (in this life and previous lives), and from my country(ies). I also use the effort and gains to help alleviate the suffering of those who are already in and will be reborn into the animal realm, the ghost realm and hells as the result of their bad thoughts, speech and deeds. For anyone who sees and hears me chanting or being mindful of Amituofo and doing other good deeds, may they aspire to unearth their most sincere, pure, equal and awakened mind so as to go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, together with me, at the end of our present lives.
