Does asking the same question twice mean that you hope to get different answers?

It is not good to listen to any sound other than your own while meditating.

First of all, there is the problem of meditating to precipitate messy thoughts. Listening to what is said in the mouth is not enough, and there is another one outside. Isn’t it redundant? What kind of chanting machine is there? That thing is not as useful as rosary beads. You can just leave it and listen to it. I have seen any eminent monks and great sages who usually recite the Buddha's name with the chanting machine. However, there is nothing left in a Buddhist shop. The poster... they put it there. The biggest purpose of this voice is to recruit people to buy things!

Meditating is meditating, and chanting Buddha’s name is chanting Buddha’s name. They are two different things. Although they may reach the same goal by different paths, just like gold necklaces and gold rings have the same essence, you cannot say that they are the same thing. Even if you are meditating and chanting Buddha’s name, you must Understand one thing, chanting Buddha’s name is a means of meditating to achieve concentration, not the purpose. Otherwise, chanting Buddha’s name would be enough to meditate.

Generally, most of the introductory methods of meditation start with breathing, but why do many people choose to use chanting Buddha as a means to enter concentration? Because first, this is the method of perfecting the ears, which means chanting by mouth, listening to the mind, and so on. Of course, this is not the most important thing, because the effect of observing breathing is not worse than this. But the main reason why we choose this method is that the Pure Land Sect is prosperous, so the chanting method is more popular. Secondly, and most importantly, many The reason why people cannot enter samadhi while meditating is because their karma is too heavy, so they will become very drowsy just by meditating. I have tried all other methods, but to no avail. The last method is to meditate and recite the Buddha's Dharma, because this method can rely on the power of Amitabha Buddha to help others. Those who are unable to enter the samadhi due to karmic obstacles choose to use the power of chanting the Buddha's name together, so they choose the method of chanting the Buddha's name. That is to say, from some perspectives, using the chanting of the Buddha's name to enter samadhi is not the most efficient method, but the final guarantee. The three universal roots Well, as long as there are no other methods for healthy people, this will definitely work (nothing is absolute)

So, to the original poster’s question, the answer is that meditating with the chanting machine means taking off your pants and farting, which is impossible. Even if you are meditating well, you cannot recite the Buddha's name properly. Even if it is not mainly for meditation, but mainly for the purpose of reciting the Buddha's name, you should not use the chanting machine. The efficiency will not keep up with the chanting and you will not be able to merge into one, because there is no movement in the chanting machine.

Is this clear?
