When you recite with your ordinary mind, inside your small mind, you recite “Guan Yin Bodhisattva,” and then another thought arises: “What happened to my cat?” “I miss my dog.” That is your ordinary mind. All those thoughts should be let go. Stop them. Those of you who have reached the Fourth Dhyana (4th stage) or higher should recite with your ordinary mind that has no desire at all. When you recite Guan Yin’s name, you should do so without any desire. When you recite Guan Yin’s name, you should recognize what is happening in your mind. A thought arises, then a second thought arises, then a third. You should notice this and return to reciting Guan Yin’s name. As soon as you become aware of it, you should stop and return to Guan Yin’s name. The sooner you stop, the better. The best is to stop at the very first thought. How can you stop at the first thought? When a thought arises, do nothing with it—just return to reciting Guan Yin. The sooner you catch your thoughts, the better your practice becomes.
