At our Robe Offering Ceremony at Dhammagiri, our Sangha of 7 Buddhist monks recites 'Paritta'. These auspicious protective verses are believed to ward off misfortune, protect from various dangers, and bestow blessings on all those listening.

Paritta verses have been recited in Pali, the language of the Buddha, for more than 2,000 years. The most important ones are still in their original form, as originally spoken by the Buddha himself some 2,500 years ago.

Ajahn Saengchai Ratananyano from Bodhisaddha Monastery, Wilton near Sydney, is leading the chanting.

Ajahn Den Atthakaro from Bodhipala monastery near Adelaide recites the traditional invitation to all devas and spirits at the beginning.

Ajahn Varadhammo from Bodhisaddha Monastery, Ajahn Dhammasiha & Ajahn Moneyyo from Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, and Tan Khema & Tan Dhammavitakko from Buddha Bodhivana Monastery, Warburton near Melbourne, are all joining in.
