Karaniya Metta Sutta chant in Pali (end of Triratna International Retreat 2012)

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Tue, 5 Jun, 2012 - 21:52
The evening after the retreat ended, just the team left on site gathered for a quiet evening of meditation and chanting: a quietly perfect way to round off the International Retreat – some exquisite chanting of the sublime Karaniya Metta Sutta, which outlines the basis of the Buddhist practice of ‘friendship of the lovely’, ‘friendship of the beautiful’.

From Imagine the Buddha on Sat, 2 Jun, 2012 - 22:27
Voici un enregistrement du Sutra du Coeur d’aujourd hui…

Here’s the Heart Sutra in French from a ritual today…

It’s great to hear Dharma in languages other than your own. Something very interesting about trying to catch the sense of something usually familiar…
