Collection of Pali Buddhist Chanting Audio (Without English)
I have amassed a list of buddhist chanting (PALI LANGUAGE ONLY) with links. The purpose of this collection is to have easy access to buddhist chanting audios (outside of the common morning/evening pujas) in the pali language.

Notes
- This does not include all of the chants found in the average Buddhist chantings book, but only the ones I could find audios for in pali language alone.
- I recorded the page number according to the Dhammayut Order, Wat Metta Chanting Book translated by Thanisarro Bikkhu. There will be other page numbers in the links connected to other chanting books such as Amaravati’s chanting book.
- There are sometimes different names for each chant depending on the chanting book / translator. The bolded title of the chants is the Pali and English according to Thanissaro bikkhu and the wat metta chanting book. Some of the links will have different titles.
- I have included chanting from both amaravati and abhayagiri. While they have the same style of chanting and come from the same lineage, I included both when possible, even for the same chant, as the audios may have different qualities, rhythms, voices, etc.
Other references
All of the audios by Wat Metta / Thanisarro Bikkhu listed can be found online here: Pali Chants | dhammatalks.org. One can download them altogether at the bottom of the page. Within this, there are also Pali/English chanting audios for chants such as ‘The Verses on Friends’ or ‘contemplation of the body’. I could not find Pali only chanting audios of these chants, therefore, they are not included in the collection above.
