Hello. Have you ever heard the chants of Dhammaruwan rebirth memory?
The Child Who Chanted
*The story of Dhammaruwan, a child who spontaneously began chanting suttas in Pali at two years old.
I’m thinking it’s totally true that it’s from a Nālandā Monastery tradition because the Chinese monk visited the monastery and he described that the chant was like a tone longer than usual that makes it hard to understand what is being chanted. Around 7 CE.
In his book Buddhist monastic of Southern Asia he described the chants of them as chanting in high pitch. Intonations is prolonged in some chanting. And intoned in an even tone with long trailing voice. And in ten or twenty verses. He said it’s really Indian style tradition. Proper way to chant.
