The Karaniya Metta Sutta Chanted by Joe Richardson

By Candradasa on Mon, 4 Nov, 2013 - 17:21

And since we just posted Natalie Willmer’s excellent talk on the Karaniya Metta Sutta, here’s a beautiful recording of it! It’s the classic Buddhist source-text for Metta, or Loving-Kindness - and the theme of the upcoming Triratna Urban Retreat.

It was chanted in Pali by Joe Richardson at the end of Triratna’s 2012 International Retreat, as the Buddhafield team gathered under canvas at the end of the retreat. We’ve remastered it here...

Having just posted up Natalie’s talk on the metta sutta (the Buddha’s words on loving-kindness) we thought you’d love this… It’s a beautiful recording of the metta sutta, in Pali (an ancient Indian language), and chanted by Joe Richardson at the end of Triratna’s 2012 International Retreat.

Dhammapalam Gatha by Bodhivajra

By Candradasa on Thu, 25 Jul, 2013 - 14:40
A teaching of the Dharma chanted in Pali, the Dhammapalam Gatha translates as ‘verses that protect the truth’. Set to music, this is a piece that beautifully evokes the heart of the Buddha’s teachings.

Bodhivajra recorded this chant; listen for enjoyment, or listen to learn the words (reproduced below).
