Buddhist Chanting: Why We Do It | Benefits of Dhamma Recitation | Chant by Heart | Ajahn Dhammasiha

<p>Chanting is an essential part of meditative practice in virtually all Buddhist traditions, and also in other religions. </p><p>Ajahn Dhammasiha explains the powerful benefits we receive from diligently learning Buddhist chants by heart, from listening to them, and from reciting them regularly. </p><p>Chanting the teaching of the Buddha develops samatha (tranquility) and samādhi, due to the calming and uplifting effect on our mind. </p><p>If we understand the meaning of what we&#39;re chanting, it can also lead to profound insight (vipassana). Monks have attained enlightenment while chanting, teaching or listening to Dhamma. </p><p>At the same time, chanting is also beneficial at the basic, beginning stages of our meditative practice. If we&#39;re in danger to be overwhelmed by unwholesome emotions like anger, sadness or intense desire, chanting may succeed in overcoming the crises when other other more refined meditative tools don&#39;t work. </p><p><br></p><p>Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage:</p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/news">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/news⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Our email Newsletter:</p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Pics: </p><p><a href="https://www.dhammagiri.net/photo-albums">⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/photo-albums⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://latest-pics.dhammagiri.net">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Our Youtube Channel:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 </p><p><br></p><p>#chanting #buddhistchanting #palichanting #buddhism #dhamma #dhammatalk #recitation #samatha #vipassana</p>
