Beautiful, heart trembling Buddhist Chanting (Karaniya Metta Sutta)
BackThe language used in this video is Sanskrit or Pali (A language used in ancient India during the Lord Buddha's time). This chanting can be used to cure certain illnesses. The chanting is very effective with the help of an expert Buddhist priest. Below is the caption and translation in English: KARANIYA METTA SUTTA Karaniya mattha kusalena, Yan tam santam padam abhi-samecca; Sakko uju ca suhuju ca, Suvaco cassa mudu anatimani. Santussako ca subharo ca, Appakicco ca sallahukavutti; Santindriyo ca nipako ca, Appagabbho kulesu ananu giddho. Na ca khuddam samacare kinci, Yena vinnu pare upavadeyyum; Sukhino va khemino hontu, Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta: Ye keci panabhut'atthi, Tasa va thavara va anavasesa; Digha va ye mahanta va, Majjima rassaka anukathula Dittha va ye ca adittha, Ye ca dure vasanti avidure; Bhuta va sambhavesi va, Sabbe satta bhavantu sukitatta. Na paro pararam nikubbetha, Natimannetha katthaci nam kinci; Byarosana patighasanna, Nannamannassa dukkhamiccheyya. Mata yatha niyam puttam Ayusa ekaputtamanurakkhe; Evampi sabbabhutesu Manasambhavaye aparimanam. Mettanca sabbalokasmim Mansambhavaye aparimanam; Uddham adho ca tiriyanca, Asambham averam asapattam. Titthancaram nisinno va, Sayano va yavatassa vigatamiddho; Etam satim adhittheyya, Brahmam etam viharam idha-mahu. Ditthinca anupagamma, Silava dassanena sampanno; Kamesu vineyya gedham, Na hi jatu gabbhaseyyam puna-reti ti. English Translation: THE BUDDHA'S WORDS ON LOVING KINDNESS This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skilful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born May all beings be at ease. Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.
