AJAHN MONEYYO | Pali Recitation: Buddha's Enlightenment to First Discourse | Vinaya Mahavagga 1. 1-6

<p>Ajahn Moneyyo recites the first chapters of the Vinaya Piṭaka, Mahāvagga 1. 1. to 1.6. in the original Pali language. </p><p>These passages are the oldest and most authentic record of the events from the Buddha&#39;s supreme awakening (Sammā-sambodhi) under the Bodhi Tree at Uruvela (now Bodh Gaya) near the river Nerañjana, until the Buddha reunites with his first five disciples (Pañca-vaggiyā Bhikkhū) at the Deerpark near Vārānasī. </p><p>Nowadays, these passages are rarely memorised and recited by monks; and even less known in the lay community, due to their inclusion in the Vinaya Pitaka, the part of the Tipitaka concerned with monastic discipline. However, they are truly inspiring, as they are providing the earliest record of the events directly following the Buddha&#39;s supreme enlightenment, in his own words. </p><p>Fortunately, Ajahn Moneyyo has committed these passages to heart as part of his Dhamma practice in this year&#39;s vassa, and shared them with the other residents at Dhammagiri one morning, when we also did this recording. </p><p><br></p><p>You can read an English translation, that also provides the original Pāli side-by-side here: </p><p>https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/Mv/MvI.html#burmese1</p><p><br></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>#buddhistchanting #palichanting #palirecitation #buddha #awakening #buddhastory #lifeofbuddha #vinaya</p>
