Can someone record Paritta chanting in english?

I wonder if someone could record chanting in english of paritta and make them available as mp3s for download. I am sometimes at states where I think I could benefit from being able to listen to this. I was thinking primarily of these two: Atanatiya Paritta (http://www.dhammatalks.net/Books9/Paritta_...

Re: Atanatiya Sutta?

Bhikkhu Pesala : The text at http://www.aimwell.org/atanatiya.html contains text that I can not find translated at http://suttacentral.net/pi/dn32 and http://suttacentral.net/en/dn32. Can someone translate this for me or point me to a translation? " Āṭānāṭiyasuttaṃ ārocaṭṭhaya vo rakkhatu Āṭānā...

Re: Atanatiya Sutta?

The version of this paritta here http://www.aimwell.org/atanatiya.html has parts that are not included at http://www.dhammatalks.net/Books9/Paritta_Protection.htm#Atanatiya. However these parts are untranslated and only in pali. I wonder if anyone here knows pali and can help translate? I also sent ...

Re: Atanatiya Sutta?

santa100: The question still remains... Neither of the translations of DN 32 you posted matches http://www.dhammatalks.net/Books9/Paritta_Protection.htm#Atanatiya. Some content matches and some doesn't. With parts differing so much it would be strange if it would just be a matter of different transl...

Atanatiya Sutta?

I found a text titled "Atanatiya Sutta - the Discourse on the Protection at the Divine City of Atanata" at http://www.dhammatalks.net/Books9/Paritta_Protection.htm#Atanatiya . Some of it is similar to "Atanatiya Sutta" at http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/piyadassi/prote...

buddhism and low energy levels/depression

I have an ADD diagnosis among others, and depressive symptoms. Most days I struggle to keep the motivation and energy to do the basic house hold chores. I find that when I read dhamma or try to meditate, sometimes it feels like all the talk about "cessation" and "dispassion" cont...

Re: Panna Linux - Buddhism Live CD

Can anyone get the offline version of Sutta Central at http://suttacentral.net/downloads to work? I can't and I can't see what I could be doing wrong. I think there is something wrong with the files. I emailed the Sutta Central devs about it.

Re: Panna Linux - Buddhism Live CD

culaavuso: Excellent suggestion with Sutta Central. I have yet to figure out how to put together and use the offline version though, but I will include it if I get it to work, and if the dev team replies to my email asking if it is ok to include it. MidGe: Digital Pali Reader was also a great sugges...

Paññā Linux - Buddhism Live CD

I am trying to make a live cd/dvd for "buddhism studies", focusing mainly on Theravada and Pali. I first made a post here on dhammawheel on this same subject, but had a bad night and decided to report the post for deletion by the moderators, which they did. I have now decided to go at it a...

Request for buddhism outline/summary

I would like to have a buddhism outline/summary that I can keep with me to remind myself. Maybe people here have found some online that they could link to, have made one themselves, or would like to help make one. I got this idea that I could tattoo it (maybe on the inside of my lower legs) so I wou...
