I found this page is especially helpful: http://www.jodo.org/teachings/nembutsu.html Jodo Shu is pretty straightforward: people recite the nembutsu as their practice. As to <em>how</em> they recite the nembutsu in daily practice, or what style, I think it depends on the person itself. Honen was concerned more about helping people, than on technique and practice. Hope this helps. Take care! Hi Juan and welcome to the JLR. I found this page is especially helpful:

I feel bad because I can't speak to Chinese Buddhism much. The blog has a big Japanese-only bias, though it's not entirely intentional where Buddhist topics are concerned. It's only what I have the most familiarity with. If you have anything to share from the Chinese Buddhist side, please feel free to chime in. :) Hi Morris,
