CHANTING

Inviting the Devas

Samanta cakkavalesu,
Atra-gacchantu devata,
Saddammam munirajassa,
Sunantu saggamokkhadam.
Sagge kame ca rupe girisikharatate
cantilkkhe vimane,
Dipe ratthe ca game taruvangahane
Gehavatthumhi khette;
Bhumma cayantu deva Jalathalavisane
Yakkhagandhababanaga,
Titthanta santike yam Munivaravacanam
Sadhavo me sunantu.
From all round the world systems may the devas come here. The true Dhamma of the King of sages is to be heard; leading to heaven and liberation.
In the heavens of sensuality and subtle form, on peaks and mountain precipices and in aerial abodes, in islands, countries and towns, groves of trees and thickets.
Let those Earth-devas approach on water or land. Wherever they are established may they approach and hear the excellent speech of the Buddha chanted here.
Buddhadassanakalo ayam bhadanta
Dhammassavanakalo ayam bhadanta
Sanghapayirupassanakalo ayam bhadanta.
The time for seeing the Buddha is here
The time for hearing the Dhamma is here
The time for honouring the Sangha is here
