Hello Everybody,
I am finding chanting along with audio files of great help, especially for getting the right rhythm and when to change pitch. Does anybody know where I can find an audio file of The Three Refuges and the Eight Precepts? I found something similar with the Five precepts, but I want something for Uposatha days.
Thanks,
Scott

Plenty of chanting audio here: http://mirror1.birken.ca/dhamma_talks/i ... _List.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's a huge list so just Ctrl+F and search-term "precepts" or Ctrl+F and search-term "three refuges" and there you are.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

I enjoy the chanting of Ajahn Sister Vayama, her 8 precepts are here: http://www.dhammaloka.org.au/downloads/ ... nting.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Scroll down to "Taking the Three Refuges and Eight Precepts"

harm no one nor have them harmed.

Re: Audio of Uposatha Precepts
Hopefully you found something in your mother tongue and not in Pāḷi only.
For me it's far more powerfull to recite in my mother tongue or at last in the second language I know a bit, that is english.
Especially all that exotism falls of and the rites-&-rituals-believe gets less nutrition.

The links were great. I was lookimg for pali. I think about what the pali words mean so its not empty ritual. It almost feels a little more powerful in Pali.
