On occasion of Vesak Full Moon, which commemorates the birth, supreme awakening and final Parinibbāna of the Buddha, Ajahn Dhammasiha guides a meditation on 'Buddhānussati', recollection of the Buddha.
An easy way of maintaining mindfulness on the Buddha is simply by mentally repeating 'Buddho' continuously, like a mantra.
However, the point of the meditation is not just the repetition of this word, but the emotions and feelings that are aroused in our heart while repeating the mantra:
By keeping the mind focussed on the mantra, these emotions will naturally grow, become stronger, and ultimately carry our mind into internal, blissful unification ('samādhī').
