I was wondering if someone could identify the specific text being chanted solo at the beginning of this video?

Incidentally, where do these different styles of chant come from? How does one learn them?
Identify this chant for me?
Re: Identify this chant for me?
This [Maybe someone else can help you with the chanting style although the text also comes with what looks like marks for a chanting style]
Re: Identify this chant for me?
The chanting is being led by Ajahn Sucitto, who is the abbot of Chithurst monastery in the UK. It is an adapted Thai style.

This is certainly the text for the beginning chant, but why does it only match partially? The youtube version begins differently.plwk wrote:This [Maybe someone else can help you with the chanting style although the text also comes with what looks like marks for a chanting style]

And as a side curiosity, in the video I posted, why does this phrase occur at 05:12mins? Does anyone know?

Re: Identify this chant for me?
‘Om’ is composed of the sounds a, u and m, which in certain late-Pali verse compositions serve as mnemonics for Saṅgha, Buddha and Dhamma respectively.plwk wrote:And as a side curiosity, in the video I posted, why does this phrase occur at 05:12mins? Does anyone know?

Thanks again Bhante

Ajahn Siripanno calls down the devata (the beginning) but Ajahn Sumedho is leading the paritta chanting in this second clip (calls the first line of each paritta).plwk wrote:Yes you're right and I found another site which corresponds here
