Description
Buddhist Pali chants with English translations provide a unique opportunity for meditation retreat students to connect with the ancient teachings of the Buddha. Pali, an Indo-Aryan language, was the primary language in which the Buddha's teachings were preserved in the Tipiṭaka, the sacred texts of Theravada Buddhism.
Originally an oral language without its own alphabet, Pali was later written in Brahmi script and later transliterated into the alphabets of many languages. This book presents the chants in the Roman transliteration used by the compilers of the first Pali Dictionary for the Pali Text Society.
With 24 pages of chants and translations, this book offers a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist meditation and practice.
