Here's another link for the BuddhaSasana page:

And the one file directly concerned with chanting:

I'll pin this topic to the top of the Buddhism forum here so that anyone interested in chanting can find it easily.

What is the reasoning behind the chants? Not bad not good. You give a name to your new born son. It's magic too. The other part is (required you understand the meaning) that you confirm yourself about what is good. A morning chanting of the traffic code before you take your car to go to your job will save many living beings. #30

Some reasons for chanting.... After the Buddha's Parinirvana they kept the memory of the teachings alive by chanting them. Chanting is a way of showing respect to the triple-gem. Chanting can prepare a 'rough stone' for more intensive practice like meditation. Chanting can ward off problems, show love and metta to other beings, protect one from dangers, cause other beings to act kindly towards us, share our merits with other beings, cause enemies to forgive us, help others to turn around and become better people. #31

The book I mentioned above was the base of the marital contract with my wife, the ethic concordance of our life together.
1. Take care of your wife or husband. 2. Take care of your mother and father when they are weak. 3. Give to your children the best education up to their potential. 4.You are a free woman and I am free man. We are not jealous, we trust the Buddha Teaching. We gave a lot of teaching to thai/farang couples, some couple understood easyly, most not. One couple will send their twins during the next school holidays to Wat Phatam, to learn the law of nature by doing. Give food to dogs and to cats, not scare snakes and scorpions etc. #32

Temiyagatha sutta.
I gave the same book to my English student (a Thai) before he took his job in Wisconsin with special advertisement for this sutta. When he came back he only said: I have confidence to the Teaching of the Buddha. In Wisconsin I met friends of all countries and all colours. The Buddha's Teaching is Truth and you open me the door. I answer: A little bit English and a good book, the important work was made by yourself. |
