The chanting translation on VRI website doesn't seem to be the literal translation of the morning chants by SN Goenka.
http://www.vridhamma.org/uploadedfiles/ ... ishweb.pdf
They seem to start off with some other sutta chanting before getting to the sutta itself. I am not sure.
Does anyone have the entire translation of his morning chants?
Thanks!

Goenka Chanting translation

All beings like yourself are responsible for their own actions. Suffering or happiness is created through one's relationship to experience, not by experience itself. Although I wish only the best for you, I know that your happiness or unhappiness depends on your actions, not on my wishes for you.
May you not be caught in reactivity.

Dear Wizi,
It might be worth investigating this book:

Hi - there's also an mp4 (video) file available from this site, currently free of charge or on a donation basis. The description:
"In this download you hear S. N. Goenka chant the Pali suttas (discourses) and Hindi dohas (poems)from the ten-day course of Vipassana meditation while the original text and the English translation simultaneously display on the screen"
Here's the link, but I think you need the old student password to access that part of the site:

best wishes,

Thank you both for the links! Now I understand why his chanting doesn't sound anything like the written suttas at first. Does he start off with Hindi dohas and then go on to the Pali suttas?
