In today’s class we didn’t finish off all the readings from Lesson IV, so we will start next class by doing that. If you haven’t already done so, please complete Lesson IV Further Readings 3 & 4 on pp.58-59.

Thanks,

Fellow students, for the second reading passage in Lesson 5, you’ll see in John’s answer key that this appears in Snp 3.9 as well as MN 98.

For a really sweet chanting in the Sri Lanka style, go to the 13:29 mark in the following recording:
[MN 98 (Vāseṭṭhasutta) - Google Drive]

This makes it easier for me to appreciate the teaching itself, which otherwise feels a bit out of place in the textbook. It’s about three minutes long.

Then, when you have time, check out Dhammaruwan’s adult chanting of the Maṅgalasutta – source of our fourth reading passage (Kp 5). It begins at the 2:00 mark. It is the same Sri Lanka chanting style.

[Dhammaruwan - Google Drive]

I’m no expert on chanting (especially as a lay person), but I find this style simple and memorable.

Anything to help me learn pāli :heart_eyes:

:pray:t3: :elephant:
