Listen to Buddhist Chants

Please be mindful of others in the garden if listening to chants here.

All the chants are in Pali, the ancient Middle Indian language in which the Buddha's teachings were originally written down.

The sound of chanting in Pali can have a strong effect on the mind and body and each chant has a different effect. I

t is recommended you simply listen to the sound of the chant, and feel whatever the effect is for you on your mind and body.

Being aware of the centre of the chest as you listen may be helpful.

There is no need to know the meaning of the words as the effect is independent of this but if you are curious a translation is available in the link to a pdf of a chanting book below.
