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)：圆满觉悟。传统上把圆满觉悟者——“佛陀”(buddho)这个词，用来当作禅修入门的念诵词。修行时心里不断重复“佛陀”同时忆念佛陀的功德。最简单的方法是禅修时全神专注在重复“佛陀”上，不断想“佛陀”这个词。禅修者必须完全排除一切，只是觉知重复每一“佛陀、佛陀、佛陀”。一旦能持续不断，这简单的重复就会带来内心的平静和定。
