Morning Chanting
Anekajti Gth
Anekajti sasra, sandhvissa anibbisa;
Gahakra gavesanto, dukkh jti punappuna.
Gahakraka dihosi, puna geha na khasi;
Sabb te phsuk bhagg, gahaka visakhata;
Visakhra gata citta, tahna khayamajjhag.

Through Many Births

Through many births I wandered in sasra; seeking, but not finding
The builder of this house, painful is repeated existence!
Householder! you are seen now, you shall build no house again.
Your rafters are broken! Your ridge-pole is shattered.
To dissolution goes my mind. Achieved is the destruction of craving.

Reflections for One Gone Forth

These ten things, monks, should be constantly reflected upon by one
gone forth. My status has changed should be reflected on constantly by
one gone forth. My very life depends on the gifts of others should be reflected upon constantly by one gone forth. I should behave differently to
others should be reflected on constantly by one gone forth. Do I blame
myself for any moral lapses? should be reflected on constantly by one
gone forth. Do my wise fellow monks blame me for moral lapses? should
be reflected on constantly by one gone forth. All that is pleasing to me
will decay and disappear should be reflected on constantly by one gone

enmity, may they be free from ill-will, may they be free from affliction,

kamma.
May all living things, all breathing thing, all beings, all persons, all
individuals, all women, all men, all noble ones, all worldlings, all deities,
all human beings, and all those destined for hell be free from enmity,
may they be free from ill-will, may they be free from affliction, may they

I have formerly done meritorious deeds, recited the protection
discourses and practised meditation on loving-kindness.
By the power of this merit may all beings, realising the Buddhas
teaching which leads to happiness, attain the supreme bliss of nibbna
which gets rid of sorrow, grief and despair.
Long may the teaching of the Buddha endure. May all beings
respect and practise righteousness. May the god of rain perform his
duty in due season.
May the rulers follow the example of the righteous kings and protect
their subjects with kindness, like their own sons and daughters.
By this practice I pay homage to the Buddha.
By this practice I pay homage to the Dhamma.
By this practice I pay homage to the Sagha.

By this practice I shall be liberated from birth, aging, disease, and death.
May my merit destroy all defilements.
May my merit be a condition for nibbna.
We share this heap of merit with all beings.

Idampi saghe ratana pata, etena saccena suvatthi hotu!
Yndha bhtni samgatni, bhummni v yni va antalikkhe
Tathgata deva-manussa-pjita, Buddha namassma suvatthi hotu!
Yndha bhtni samgatni, bhummni v yni va antalikkhe
Tathgata deva-manussa-pjita, Dhamma namassma suvatthi hotu!
Yndha bhtni samgatni, bhummni v yni va antalikkhe;
Tathgata deva-manussa-pjita, Sagha namassma suvatthi hotu!

Metta Sutta
Karayamatthakusalena yantasanta pada abhisamecca
Sakko uj ca suhuj ca suvaco ca ssa mudu anatimn.
Santussako ca subharo ca appakicco ca sallahukavutti,
Santindriyo ca nipako ca appagabbho kulesvananugiddho.
Na ca khuddamcare kici yena vi pare, upavedeyyu
Sukhino v khemino hontu sabbe satt bhavantu sukhitatt.
Ye keci pabhtatthi tas v thvar va navases,
Digh v ye mahant va majjhim rassak aukathl.
Dih v yeva adih ye va dre vasanti avidre,
Bht va sambhaves va sabbasatt bhavantu sukhitatt.
Na paro para nikubbetha ntimaetha katthaci na kaci
Byrosan paighasa namaassa dukkhamiccheyya.
Mt yath niya puttam yus ekaputtamanurakkhe
Evampi sabbabhtesu mnasa bhvaye aparima.
Mettaca sabba-lokasmi mnasa bhvaye aparima
Uddha adho ca tiriyaca asambdha averamasapatta.
Tiha cara nisinno v sayno yvat ssa vitamiddho
Eta sati adhiheyya brahmameta vihramidhamhu.
Dihica anupagamma slav dassanena sampanno
Kmesu vineyya gedha na hi jtu gabbhaseyya puna reti.
