Chanting with Music #1

Devotional Chanting with Music (2010)

Picture
Chanting is an important practice in all Buddhist traditions, and is often done before commencing meditation. Focusing on recollecting and chanting the words in time has a calming and collecting affect upon the mind, so that meditators often find that the mind becomes peaceful more easily after a session. It is often done as a devotional practice, giving rise to the joyful quality of faith or as a contemplation leading the mind to peace. I was motivated to produce this resource in order to help practitioners remember their faith and meditation practice – that is, to encourage people, who often live in bustling cities, to turn inwards and find a peaceful refuge within. The chanting presented here was recorded in a studio, with music added later by a friend. Although not quite as polished a production as we might have liked, I do hope that some of you will discover what a precious supplement chanting can be to the practice of meditation.
(Ajahn Achalo)

Devotional Chanting with Music

Recollecting the Three Jewels of Refuge (the qualities of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha) is central to all Buddhist practice. It is recommended by Lord Buddha himself, as a means to inform and gladden the mind.

Recollecting the profound qualities of Bodhisattvas is crucial in Mahayana traditions, which emphasize boundess compassion for all beings. Two Mahayana chants (4, 6) are included here as a support to our cultivation of the Four Divine Attitudes (loving-kindness, compassion, empathic joy, equanimity).
