Over the course of my giving these classes, I have also come to realize just how important it is for me to emphasize the chanting for my disciples. I want them to become attentive in their chanting, and to strive for the goal of chanting purely. I am feeling a great responsibility in this regard, both to preach and to set a good example by my own chanting practices and my willingness to glorify the Lord’s holy name by speaking about it.
