This chanting book project began in 2018 during an eight months retreat, in an effort to learn Pāḷi. Just as the majority of chanting books in Theravāda Buddhism, this recital booklet is inspired from the book of protections. Although the intention was to move closer to more significant and practical teachings which seem more helpful to memorize, for monastics as well as lay meditators, than the conventional parittas.
“Many of these discourses have been closer to my heart since the beginning and their profound insight left a deep enough impression within me to be compelled to commit them to memory. Those are the teachings I have chosen to memorize as part of my training.”
