Evening Puja Dhammagiri | Buddhist Pali Recitation | Ajahn Dhammasiha, Sangha, Laity

This is a new recording of our regular Evening session every Sunday afternoon at 03.00 pm. Our Sangha of 4 bhikkhus and the lay community are chanting together, with the Amaravati version of the chants playing additionally on loudspeaker in the background. With this stereo recording, if you use good 'around-the-ears' headphones, or decent loudspeakers (especially with 'surround sound' activated), you should be able to have quite an immersive audio experience. (Naturally, some limitations remain, due to true live recording, and not all our chanters being 100% perfect in pitch, 🎵 and not all keeping time ⏲ that well 😉) For the 2 hour session including meditation & Dhamma reflections, to have enough time left to also include English chants, we have abbreviated the texts slightly: We only include 'Recollection of the Buddha/Dhamma/Sangha', leaving out the sections 'Supreme Praise of the Buddha/Dhamma/Sangha'. The text for the first part of our chanting, in Pali language, is therefore as follows: Dedication of Offerings [Yo so] bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddhoSvākkhāto yena bhagavatā dhammoSupaṭipanno yassa bhagavato sāvakasaṅghoTam-mayaṃ bhagavantaṃ sadhammaṃ sasaṅghaṃImehi sakkārehi yathārahaṃ āropitehi abhipūjayāmaSādhu no bhante bhagavā sucira-parinibbutopiPacchimā-janatānukampa-mānasāIme sakkāre duggata-paṇṇākāra-bhūte paṭiggaṇhātuAmhākaṃ dīgharattaṃ hitāya sukhāya.
