When I belonged to a Buddhist group back in my 30s, it was recommended that we chant twice a day. After a while it just turned into a mechanical, emotionless exercise being done solely for the sake of getting in the requisite two sessions, and I finally quit the group and dropped the practice altogether.
Just for the record; the difficulty in keeping up the routine of prayer is mentioned in this verse:
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
( 45 ) And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the obedient [to Allah]
( 46 ) Who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him.
