buddho: Supremely enlightened. A traditional epithet for the Buddha, buddho is a preparatory meditation-word (parikamma) that is repeated mentally while reflecting on the Buddha”s special qualities. In its simplest form, one focuses attention exclusively on the repetition of “buddho”, continuously thinking the word “buddho” while in meditation. One should simply be aware of each repetition of “buddho, buddho, buddho” to the exclusion of all else. Once it becomes continuous, this simple repetition will produce results of peace and calm in the heart.

　　佛陀(buddho)：圓滿覺悟。傳統上把圓滿覺悟者——“佛陀”(buddho)這個詞，用來當作禅修入門的念誦詞。修行時心裏不斷重複“佛陀”同時憶念佛陀的功德。最簡單的方法是禅修時全神專注在重複“佛陀”上，不斷想“佛陀”這個詞。禅修者必須完全排除一切，只是覺知重複每一“佛陀、佛陀、佛陀”。一旦能持續不斷，這簡單的重複就會帶來內心的平靜和定。
