Amaravati Vesak Chanting | Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta | The Buddha's First Teaching | Pali Chanting

Ajahn Dhammasiha joins the Vesak Full Moon prgram at Amaravati. We chant the 'Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta', the first formal teaching of the Buddha after his attainment of supreme awakening, 'Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma'.

Ajahn Amaro is leading the recitation, with the whole monastic community of some 40 monks, nuns, male and female anagārikas joining, plus many of the lay visitors participating in the event.

The full Pali text of the chant, as well as an Engllish translation, is in Volume two of the Amaravati Chanting boo, page 3ff:
