“There are those who wrongly believe that by just reciting the word ‘Buddho’ they are able to rid defilements and cravings (kilesa) from their minds, then expect wisdom to arise which will enable them to realize how things really are (the Truth). However, just reciting repetitiously the parikamma word “Buddho” does not make one reach purity of mind (citta) and gain Noble Fruitions or Nibbāna.” – Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapañño
