DAILY RECOLLECTION AND REFLECTION OF BUDDHAS TEACHING
Chanting Book Pali-Thai-English-Chinese (1.0)

NIBBNA
Buddha: For one who clings, motion exists; but for one who clings not, there is no motion. Where no motion is, there is stillness. Where stillness is, there is no craving. Where no craving is, there is neither coming nor going. Where no coming nor going is, there is neither arising nor passing away. Where neither arising nor passing away is, there is neither this world nor a world beyond, nor a state between.
This, indeed, is the end of suffering.

A Word on the Chanting Book
This book of chanting in multiple languages (Pali, Thai, English and Chinese) is a work of compilation in progress. It serves to guide the user through the chanting at Nirodharam Bhikkhuni Arama and Suddhajit Bhikkhuni Arama (Nirodharam 2). For the present, the book covers the chanting of the Morning and Evening sessions, one for special occasion, and principal discourses. A second book will be compiled to include materials on other major discourses, reflections, anumodana, formal requests and others.
In the preparation and compilation of materials for this book, various existing translations of Theravada chanting books in various languages (Pali, English and Chinese) were consulted. We are grateful to those who made available their translations. These made our work on compiling this book of chanting in multiple languages (Pali, English and Chinese) easier.
Many, including the bhikkhunis and sikkhamanas in our monasteries, have contributed to the compilation of this chanting book. We are thankful to Mr Oliver Hargreave, Ms Sarah McClean and Mr Denis Gray who very kindly proof-read and made suggestions for improvement. We are responsible for whatever remaining errors that are found in the book and any unintentional omissions.
We may have missed citing and crediting the source of some materials, please accept our apologies and inform us ([email protected]). Similarly if you detect any errors or have any suggestions for improvement, please inform us so that they can be corrected and improvements made in future editions. The printing of this book is made possible by donations from many friends in Dhamma and their contribution is and will be much appreciated, particularly by the users (see list of donors at the end of this book).
The Teachings of the Buddha answer our questions on life, however many and diverse may these questions be, and lead and guide us straightforwardly on the RIGHT PATH to the RIGHT DESTINATION the ultimate answer to the ultimate question everyone asks on life.
May your daily practice of the morning and evening chanting set you right for the day and ease you through the night.
May insight arise in you as you chant, recall, reflect and contemplate on the virtues and qualities of the Triple Gem, and the Teachings of the Buddha.
