Listen "Paritta Recitation Bodhisaddha Monastery Sima Ceremony | 80+ Monks Pali Chanting"
Episode Synopsis
Please Note: Spotify deletes many of our Buddhist Chanting podcasts, claiming that they are 'Music', and that pure music tracks may not be uploaded to Spotify Podcasts. Personally, I disagree that our chanting constitutes 'Music', but there's not much point trying to argue with a bot. Therefore, I have included a spoken introduction, to make it not exclusively 'music'. Similarly, after the paritta, I have added Luang Por Liem's advice to us while writing a short dedication on a copper sheet to enshrine in our stupa. Hope this helps that Spoti will not delete this episode. The Sima Estalishment Ceremony at Bodhisaddha Monastery, Sydney, was the largest congregation of Bhikkhus in the Theravada tradtion in Australia ever. 40 of the monks had more than 40 rains retreats (years as monks). All 80+ together had spent more than 2,500 years in the robes. You can hear the sonorous, full sound of this large sangha chanting clearly on the recording. Luang Por Liem, the abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong (Ajahn Chah's monastery) and leading monk of the whole lineage of Ajahn Chah, was the presiding senior monk at the Paritta Chanting Ajahn Varadhammo, abbot of Bodhisaddha Monastery, was the host of the whole event, supporter by his own teacher, Luang Por Anan, the abbot of Wat Marp Jan and one of the most highly respected meditation masters in Thailand.Dhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube Channel#palichanting #paritta #buddhistchanting #palirecitation #ajahnchah #dhamma
