Thank you for this 🙏 I’ve been slowly getting better with starting my morning more intentionally/positive/peaceful, but have occasions where I slip up (more than I’d like 😅) I’m grateful to have this to now use in the morning to help center/ground me as well as develop gratefulness/appreciation for what I have 😊
I just finished listening 🎧 to the chanting. It is beautiful, Nick. I'm currently sitting in my bedroom with 2 Himalayan salt lamps flanking my bed. Although I don't understand the meaning, I feel calmer now. Good night 💤
Today I have started this practice: Morning Chanting, ten minute meditation on the breath. In the evening I will do Evening Chanting, ten minute meditation on the breath. Thank you! 🎉🎉🎉
This is really comforting after a falling out with my friend and after arguing with my son all day. Feeling a little lost and then this popped up on my feed. It must be a sign.🙏❤️
Challenging, as it is a very unfamiliar language, but I am studying it a bit at a time. Took about a month to memorize 1st four lines. I just repeat and repeat-driving to work, etc . Good to know it takes the monks months as well..thank you Nick, I really appreciate your channel and your spirit, connecting those of us out in this world to yours.🇨🇦
Beautiful Kathryn and well done. I love the effort. And do it lightly and gently. No pressure but just make it part of your day and training. It's wonderful! keep it up and please continue to update us on your progress.
I am Lao, my family and me went to the temple when I was young. I am an adult now and haven’t been to the temple since I moved out. I miss these chants, Thank you so much!
Hi Leslie! I really enjoy your bird videos and what a great and wonderful surprise to see that you are enjoying Nick’s videos! I have found them invaluable and just love them! So happy you found these videos!!! YAY!! Blessings and health to you♥️🕉🙏🏻🌸‼️
@@suecastillo4056 Hi Sue, how nice to see you here, too :) Blessings and health to you too my freind. Thank you for the nice comment on my videos. Have a great day
thank you so much! I never slept so well and so early. Yesterday I started to follow the Monk's Routine Evening and Wala!!!! I slept like a baby, 530pm shower, 7pm asleep in bed. Amazing! Never feel so good. Today I wake up 333 AM before 4AM. so 8 hours of sleep. I dont even need the alarm clock. Now Im wide awake and done a lot of chores. Meditation. And now starting to work and want to do the morning chant. Thank you so much. I am grateful for this turning point in my life which is most profound. Thank you for your kindness. Blessings to you!
@@nickkeomahavong01 I will definitely update you on this! Your magnificent work has fruits 🍎 to many souls. I watched hundreds of other videos your videos is so pure potent and powerful that it works to me immediately . I never fell this much rest and peace. I am forever grateful. It’s my 3rd night of sleeping early at the same time. Again, grateful to all. I’m slowly watching and integrating all your teachings. Blessings to you and your works! 😇
Hi, Nick. I'm clinically diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and I came across your videos just recently, just when I need them the most. I have this inexplicable feeling of relief. Thank you. Thank you from the depths of my being. Love, Margaret from the Philippines.
I've always been a pattern person in my Life as a Taoist Monk. By trusting the process of Chanting and Meditation...it has yielded countless Spiritual benefits. The key is...having a good process the beginning. It always helps to have as good a support system as possible.
Thank you Venerable Nick for showing how to let go of the anxieties and materialism of this consumerist, pandemic-ridden world. Thank you also for adding the PDFs of the chants. I am just beginning (again) to practice morning meditation at my advanced age of 67 still needing to discipline my mind-body to the habit of being still. Peace and love from Australia.
Hello my dear nick ,when i hear you im calming down ,im so tired n sad of hypocritical people ,you are the best teacher for me thank you with all my heart🙏🙏❤👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🙂
I actually just finished reading the translation of Dhammacakka last night before bedtime. I found that the meaning behind the chanting is very beautiful, inspiring and full of wisdom. Thank you so much Ven.Nick for providing us with this valuable teaching 🙏
I am grateful for technology! Thank you so much for sharing the buddhist traditions, teachings and chants on this platform 🙏 Your videos are helping me get back to a spiritual practice. Many blessings, from the US
Thank you Nick for all your videos. You really manage to bring the teachings to westerners and make it simple to follow. I have almost learnt by heart the morning chant and love to do it every day. It is so calming and definitely helps to quiet the mind before meditation. I like to close my eyes whilst chanting and imagine I’m with the sangha. That makes me concentrate deeper as I don’t want to mess up in front of everyone else. It works.
Dear venerable Nick thank you and all who participate in the Chanting. 🌈I hear the chanting in the mornings before leaving home and it is a shield of positive energy. These days we have here in Athens very high temperatures 42-44 degrees and people are more stressed and irritated. It is a shield of good and calm energy in our everyday exchanges with the world. Thank you again and salutes from the municipality Park alsos neas smirnis, athens🙏🙂
@@nickkeomahavong01 Thank you venerable Nick, as you said when the storm comes, with discipline and meditation you will have trained your shelf to be in the eye of the storm. And so it is with this 2 months intense learning from you and the wisdom of your masters☯️🙏🌈
Thank you so much for posting this. It’s difficult to find chanting that isn’t turned to singing. I used to pray with my grandma every evening growing up and going to temple to chant together always brought a feeling of inner peace for me. I immensely needed this being further away from family and temples right now. Thank you 🙏🏼 so much for this content.
I started a 14 day water fast to improve discipline and control impulses and listening to these chanting videos helps me stay on task.I’m hopeful I can get through these 12 days.
Intermittent lower back pain and work-related challenges have driven me to practice a lot more the past few months. These chantings substantially increase stillness and stability before meditation and it is what is keeping me going. Thank you for this.
Thank you for all your efforts to educate & make this world a better place! I’ve enjoyed your videos immensely- may God continue to bless all your efforts!
Your videos and the chanting package of info is amazing! I am completely grateful to have access to it all. Thank you 🙏🙏♥️♥️☺️ I love that I'm starting to learn to practice what real Buddhist monks practice every day. Thank you for your time 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank You for all the videos! I have been going through each one slowly, taking my own time and understanding the concepts while trying to imbibe them in my daily life. I have become more mindful and my mind has become clear of all the external chaos and noises that was causing me anxiety and depression. If only there was an ordination program for a woman , i would have really liked to participate :) . Thank you for sharing your wisdom and way of life with us ! These videos helps in starting a transformative positive journey ! Love and Well Wishes from India ❤️
I love these videos so much! Grateful for your translations they are a big help for me to feel more connected to buddhism. I hope you can do a video on funeral chants with translation. When my mother passed away and I remember feeling so still and at peace when the monks chanted during her service.
I was really surprised. I mentioned in a comment before that because if my adhd that meditation is really hard for me. I tried the changing and then I tried meditating and it wasn’t perfect, but it was much better. I hope this comment might help others who might be struggling.
@@nickkeomahavong01 So I am on day 4. I'm still finding my way through it. I work in healthcare in a neighborhood where we have to practice trauma informed care due to the violent nature of our environment. Couple that with the pandemic and things have been really, extra. I've been doing the morning chant early in the morning and then I listen to chant from the other video in my car on the way home as a way to separate work day from home day. I'm only on day 4 :) But I'm sticking with it.
Thank you much appreciated the morning chanting alot of pressure in my head l felt calm the evening chanting for some reason l was sad l dont know why but thank you
@@nickkeomahavong01thank you for this 😊 I am English and new to chanting, I do have a question. In the translation you have English and another language. I thought that the other language was what was being chanted but the words don’t match. What is the other language in the translation? Is the English translation a translation of the video or a translation of the other written text? Sorry if it’s a silly question. Looking forwards to my trip to Pa Pae in May 2024.
Good morning from Sydney Australia. I am a week into listening to the morning and evening chanting and following the 21 day meditation. I am feeling so calm and free. The best of all is the night routine with no screentime after my shower. I am sleeping so well and feeling so good and ready to start my morning routine. Thank you so much for giving us your time and sharing your knowledge to better us spiritually and mentally. Can I have a translation of the chanting please. I pray this is not disrespectful to ask. 🙏. If it is please, forgive me and disregard the question.🙂
Wow that is so wonderful that you have been able to incorporate everything. That's great. keep it up. And yes there is a link of the translation in pdf in the description :)
Thank you for this video. It's very enlightening and I have also noticed your face lighted up and relaxed as differs before you entered the monastery. 😔
At first it seemed scary. Then I sit still. But my mind was'nt. I started feeling pain overall my body. But I will continue until I find the mind's stillness as you say.
I am waking up early to perform the morning chant. Still searching for time in the evening to perform the evening chant. However, separating from the day is struggle in the evening. Still searching for a way.❤
Hey Nick! Long time no comment...I've been watching though. I'm glad you talked about this in this one. Typically I have no problem "switching off" but the last month has been absolutely crazy for me, I've recently taken on alot more responsibility at work...which came with a promotion and more money of course. But ever since then I can't "switch off" anymore. I can't meditate the way I used to, I can't clear my mind. My brain is going 24/7 now. Thinking about the job mostly, which then leads to think about everything. I mean I'm so stressed out constantly now....like I feel myself aging all of a sudden. All of my muscles are tense and I have this constant headache....sleep eludes me every night. I hate what I'm becoming. Any advice my friend?? 🙏😔
Welcome back and it's ok. Take time to adjust and adapt to your situation and new environment. Do it in a way that is easy going and relaxed. Then slowly incorporate your old habits/healthy lifestyle. It's a slow dance. But most importantly it's to take the pressure off yourself 😉
I know you didn't ask me anything but I want you to know I'm sending support in this journey. Bless you! Concider you have written wisdom in your message to Ven. Nick.
My goodness, thank you for asking this question because I am in EXACTLY the same position. New job, more responsibility, more money and I can’t switch off and it’s beginning to impact negatively on my wellbeing especially as i now realise it’s not a job I love. I feel stuck but I will implement Nick’s advice and see what happens. 🙏
Thankyou for this. My first hearing and attempt today. Am feeling it on a vibrational level. Would love to know the meaning of the words - the vibrations feel good though. A beautiful way to start the day. Peace and joy to you all.
Thank you for teaching us Ven. Nick! I have a question: I practice in a Japanese-origin buddhist school (won't mention the name to avoid issues) but I also like reciting and learning these parittas and kathas, is it wrong to incorporate them to my practice? Since I chant morning and night Lotus Sutra chapters but sometimes like.. while commuting or something, I listen to these chanting
Thank you so much for this! I just noticed though that the time stamp for the Morning Chant is the one marked Evening Chant in the pdf link attached and just wanted some clarification on which chant is truly the Morning Chant and which one is truly the Evening Chant. Thanks and peace be with you.
Hello, Nick, I have been really enjoying your videos and recommending them to friends. but I wonder if you can share with us what is the meaning of the words of each chant? I also love the Durga chant and the Ganesha chant, do you do those? Or are they not Buddhist?
Hi Nick, I just wonder if we will know the meaning of the chanting or if there are any specific phrases we can apply in our daily chanting as laymen. Thank you as always!! 😊
Do you have the meaning of the chant? or the definitions of the sanskrt words? I understand the chant is for calming the mind. But what is the point of calming the mind when the mind dies with the body when we are old with age, suffering with dieseases?
have to see the subtitles and read together with the video or I can just close my eyes and listening ? evening chanting meaning is only use it with evening time but not morning?
Nick sometimes I can’t slow down because my mind gets too focused on reading and chanting, as I am starting now and I’m not familiar with the language spoken I can’t do it without reading it.
No problem. Just take your time. It's a big adjustment. I can relate. In the beginning, it takes our new monks many many months so it's very normal. Just relax into it with no pressure and allow the process to unfold.
Vandami Bhante 🙏💐What is the name of Sutras( sutta's) for morning chanting and evening chanting? ( Because I want to understand the meaning of those chantings)
Hi! i've been struggling with meditation for a while now- it's like I know it's something that i need to do but after 2 minutes my minds like nope. I tried the chanting but because i don't understand/ can barely pronounce the words i was getting distracted and it was going to quickly. Do you have any advice on how to quiet my mind? would a meditation journal help this? thanks
I think a guided meditation app would be good to try. You can even try the meditation playlist we have here. Also, you can start with walking meditation also if sitting meditation is too much. But it takes time. Also feel free to join our online reddit community. There should be a link in the description but we have this group to help support each other for these kinds of issues :)
How was your experience with morning chanting & evening chanting?
Thank you for this 🙏 I’ve been slowly getting better with starting my morning more intentionally/positive/peaceful, but have occasions where I slip up (more than I’d like 😅) I’m grateful to have this to now use in the morning to help center/ground me as well as develop gratefulness/appreciation for what I have 😊
I just finished listening 🎧 to the chanting. It is beautiful, Nick.
I'm currently sitting in my bedroom with 2 Himalayan salt lamps flanking my bed. Although I don't understand the meaning, I feel calmer now. Good night 💤

My goodness, thank you for asking this question because I am in EXACTLY the same position. New job, more responsibility, more money and I can’t switch off and it’s beginning to impact negatively on my wellbeing especially as i now realise it’s not a job I love. I feel stuck but I will implement Nick’s advice and see what happens. 🙏
Thankyou for this. My first hearing and attempt today. Am feeling it on a vibrational level. Would love to know the meaning of the words - the vibrations feel good though. A beautiful way to start the day. Peace and joy to you all.
sadhu sadhu. There is a link to a pdf file with the translation there as well :) feel free to check it out.
Thankyou
Thank you for teaching us Ven. Nick! I have a question: I practice in a Japanese-origin buddhist school (won't mention the name to avoid issues) but I also like reciting and learning these parittas and kathas, is it wrong to incorporate them to my practice? Since I chant morning and night Lotus Sutra chapters but sometimes like.. while commuting or something, I listen to these chanting
I think it should be ok. Just use it as another tool to still your mind if it helps you :)
thank you so much, nick the monk, thank you for sharing your spirit. can i ask where the importance, in the word or the malody, the sound?
It's more in the feeling. It should make you feel relaxed 🙂
Is there a chanting like this one that is also without instrumentals on spotify? That will help a lot ☺️
Not that I'm aware of.
Nick- I love these two chants and have been doing them lately. Thank you for sharing! What language are they in?
Yeaaa. That's wonderful. This is in the Pali language. It was the language during the Buddha's time.
Thank you for sharing where can I purchase Prayer beads 📿
Meditate more than Chanting
Maintain mindfulness

Thank you so much for this! I just noticed though that the time stamp for the Morning Chant is the one marked Evening Chant in the pdf link attached and just wanted some clarification on which chant is truly the Morning Chant and which one is truly the Evening Chant. Thanks and peace be with you.
Hmm. I'll have to take a look ☺️
Thank you for sharing these chantings. They are really powerful. Which language is this? Can u share the meaning of these?
Thank you and yes there is a link to the pdf in the description with the translation :)
Can u plz tell one word or a mantra which i can chant as per being just in 11th class..
Hello, Nick, I have been really enjoying your videos and recommending them to friends. but I wonder if you can share with us what is the meaning of the words of each chant? I also love the Durga chant and the Ganesha chant, do you do those? Or are they not Buddhist?
Wonderful. Thank you so much Cynthia. Yes there is a translation pdf in the description. There should be a link to a google drive :)
Do you think you can make a video breaking down the chant. Like a video how to pronounce the words? Slowly
Hi Nick, I just wonder if we will know the meaning of the chanting or if there are any specific phrases we can apply in our daily chanting as laymen. Thank you as always!! 😊
hmmm. ill have to see if I can find the translation :)
Yes I would love to know the chant in English
Thank you so much...very grateful. 🙏 Chanting is in which language master?
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much . This is in the pali language
Do you have the meaning of the chant? or the definitions of the sanskrt words? I understand the chant is for calming the mind. But what is the point of calming the mind when the mind dies with the body when we are old with age, suffering with dieseases?
Hello. Feel free to check out the link to the pfd that has the full translation of the chantings. I hope that helps.
Is it possible to have an English translation of the chant.
Yes there is a link in the description with a clickable file with translation 😀
have to see the subtitles and read together with the video or I can just close my eyes and listening ?
evening chanting meaning is only use it with evening time but not morning?
You can do what you’re moist comfortable with. Either one is fine.
Do you guys connect to different deities during meditation? And if so have u ever connect with one?
i would love to download into my iphone if there is a way like morning chanting and evening chanting
Hmmm. Ill have to find a way to do that.
@@nickkeomahavong01 that would be awesome, thank you
Nick sometimes I can’t slow down because my mind gets too focused on reading and chanting, as I am starting now and I’m not familiar with the language spoken I can’t do it without reading it.
No problem. Just take your time. It's a big adjustment. I can relate. In the beginning, it takes our new monks many many months so it's very normal. Just relax into it with no pressure and allow the process to unfold.
Vandami Bhante 🙏💐What is the name of Sutras( sutta's) for morning chanting and evening chanting?
( Because I want to understand the meaning of those chantings)
There should be a link in the description with the translation for you. Feel free to download 😊

Hi! i've been struggling with meditation for a while now- it's like I know it's something that i need to do but after 2 minutes my minds like nope. I tried the chanting but because i don't understand/ can barely pronounce the words i was getting distracted and it was going to quickly.
Do you have any advice on how to quiet my mind? would a meditation journal help this?
thanks
I think a guided meditation app would be good to try. You can even try the meditation playlist we have here. Also, you can start with walking meditation also if sitting meditation is too much. But it takes time. Also feel free to join our online reddit community. There should be a link in the description but we have this group to help support each other for these kinds of issues :)
Which place do this chant belongs to? I mean is there any specific country people recite this?
We use this in Thailand and for many Theravada traditions
I could get into this but not if I don't know what I'm saying.
There is a pdf translation in the description 😀
@@nickkeomahavong01 I don't see a pdf here
I wish you could translate these Chantings to English so I could know what I am saying. Would increase the meaning so much. Thank you!
Yes there is a pdf file on the description below with the English translation ☺️
