Good points, thanks! The organizer advised chanters on what to chant:
“Ratana Sutta and Metta Sutta (as many times as you like) and if needed any other sutta such as Dhajagga, Girimananda, Bojjanga or another sutta at your discretion.”
Dhajagga: The Banner’s Crest Recollection of Buddha Dhamma & Sangha for courage in times of fear.
Girimananda: With Girimananda. The 10 perceptions for overcoming illness.
Bojjhanga: 7 Factors of Enlightenment, referring to any of 3 nearly identical discourses recited to cure illness, better known as Gilana Suttas or Sick. (This links to 1st one or Pathāmagilanasutta, and the next two follow right after.) Recitation of the 7 Factors of Enlightenment for immediate healing.
I felt thoroughly inspired and very grateful to be able to take part, especially as backend host for 8 hours while we travelled through Europe. Thank you for this great opportunity @Deepika and Damith!
sabbalokasaṅgīti streamed live for more than 24 hours, Youtube did not allow us to save the event, However, we managed to save it externally and working on a short video of the highlights of the event. Thank you all for the encouragement and having faith in coming onboard to go around the world in a virtual chariot.
I feel like that is a lot to ask of monastics to organize something like that every weekend! I appreciate the work they have put into adapting dhamma teaching to online platforms. You can find some here on this thread: Corona Dhamma - links to Dhamma resources. I know there are other monasteries and mindfulness groups practicing online now too if you check out your local groups. I think there are better options than listening to chanting all day once a week that is less logistically challenging for our monastic friends.
We will premier 12 hours of chanting from sabbalokasangiti this evening today, on Vesak Day.
We wish you good health, inner peace and contentment on this special day.
