Thai Buddhist Chanting

[camerata 510]

I can't reach it today either, but I can traceroute to it. Maybe a server problem. Anyway, it's an excellent site. The owner seems to have a great eye for clear, well-written stuff (mostly Theravada) that's ideal for relative beginners.

[sabaijai 385]

Pali/English text and MP3 files are available at BuddhaSasana.

The site is not working any more? Connet for ages but nothing come up.

Yep, still down.

You learnt it with a thai accent

In Pali it's "Nammo Tassa Bhagvato Arahato Samma Sumbuddhasa".

The translation we use is "Homage to the Blessed Noble and Perfectly Enlightened One".

Thats tremendous, Thank you so much. It has answered a question that I have had for many years.

Once again Thankyou

I have attached two images of Buddha, I will get a fuller picture rather than just the torso and head.

It may sound strange but he smiles at certain times which is wonderful to see.

Kind regards

So im 16 i just got back to america from thailand 2 months ago. i studied matteyom 4 in laemchabang for 1 year as an exchange student. i became a monk at a thai temple. for 2 weeks. Wat si vana ( laemchabang -banglamung) i learned to read thai pretty well in 2 weeks because of becoming a monk. it was a wonderful expirience and i woul recomend that anyone who lives in thailand as an expat or for business u should definatly try it.

Here's another link for the BuddhaSasana page:

And the one file directly concerned with chanting:

I'll pin this topic to the top of the Buddhism forum here so that anyone interested in chanting can find it easily.

A very good book, I bought it DK Chiangmai.

My wife and me have sometimes evening chanting with this book.

What is the reasoning behind the chants?

What is the reasoning behind the chants?

One part of the chanting is magic incantation.

Not bad not good. You give a name to your new born son. It's magic too.

The other part is (required you understand the meaning) that you confirm yourself about what is good.

A morning chanting of the traffic code before you take your car to go to your job will save many living beings.

Some reasons for chanting....

After the Buddha's Parinirvana they kept the memory of the teachings alive by chanting them.

Chanting is a way of showing respect to the triple-gem.

Chanting can prepare a 'rough stone' for more intensive practice like meditation.

Chanting can ward off problems, show love and metta to other beings, protect one from dangers, cause other beings to act kindly towards us, share our merits with other beings, cause enemies to forgive us, help others to turn around and become better people.
