And yet you get hurt when you touch fire. Is that a just dream? The point is understanding emptiness of practice, ideas, interpretations and reality. But it doesn’t mean everything is only illusion (at least not in our common way of understanding it). Both conventional and ultimate true coexist, but until we think and not directly experience non-duality, we’re caught up in duality. The Diamond Sutra really is the master in showings the dialectics of non-duality.

I really recommend Tallahasse Chan center, Guo Gu is very smart and clear in his explanations, he is one of the student of Master Sheng Yen, a Taiwanese monk that revitalized Chan and helped spreading it

On a surface level repeating the Name surely has an anchor like function on a mental level, but there is much more of it. I respect your opinion, but this is a Buddhist community so it DOES matter what the Buddha said, and meditation is not only a practice to focus mind in many traditions.

Cheesecake doesn’t make you think of the Buddha, am I right? Mindfulness of the Buddha is a practice Shakyamuni himself suggested, you can find it in the Pali Canon, not only in Mahayana sutras. Also there is much more than just simply repeating a word, since nembutsu is also tied with the Primal Vows of Amida itself, regarding rebirth in the Pure Land
