I’m looking for translations into German of the traditional chants done in Sri Lankan monasteries. For example:
Vandāmi cetiyaṁ sabbaṁ
Sabba-ṭhānesu patiṭṭhitaṁ
Sārīrīka-dhātu-Mahā-bodhiṁ
Buddha-rūpaṁ sakalaṁ sadā.
Yassa mūle nisinno va
Sabbāri vijayaṁ akā,
Patto sabbaññutaṁ Satthā
Vande taṁ Bodhi-pādapaṁ.
Ime ete Mahā-Bodhi
Loka-nāthena pūjitā,
Aham-pi te namassāmi
Bodhi-Rājā nam’atthu te!
Ghana-sārappadittena—Dīpena tama-dhaṁsinā
Tiloka-dīpam sambuddhaṁ—Pūjayāmi tamo-nudaṁ.
etc…
Can anyone point me to some good translations? If it was creative commons that would be great.
Please move to another topic if this isn’t the correct one.
