Evening Chanting Dhammagiri Version | Sangha & Laity at Dhammagiri | Buddhist Pali Chanting

This is a stereo recording of our regular Sunday afternooon chanting, which we do at the start of every Sunday afternoon session, before the meditation. 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 time ⏲ keeping 😉) Due to time constraints for the 2 hour session including meditation & Dhamma reflections, and to have enough time left to 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 sammāsambuddho Svākkhāto yena bhagavatā dhammo Supaṭipanno yassa bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho Tam-mayaṃ bhagavantaṃ sadhammaṃ sasaṅghaṃ Imehi sakkārehi yathārahaṃ āropitehi abhipūjayāma Sādhu no bhante bhagavā sucira-parinibbutopi Pacchimā-janatānukampa-mānasā Ime sakkāre duggata-paṇṇākāra-bhūte paṭiggaṇhātu Amhākaṃ dīgharattaṃ hitāya sukhāya.
