PALI CHANTING: What, Why & How



The introduction class for Pali Chanting. This evening, Bro. Yeoh Yong Cheng explained why we chant or recite Pali texts or the purpose of Pali chanting and the different style of chantings based on tradition and culture of the people i.e. the Thai Chanting, Myanmar or Sinhalese. He also demonstrated the way how these people chant and the different way they pronounced the Pali word, for example, the way the Thai pronounced the word Buddha, which will sound like Phutta. 

Next week, on 7th October 2011, we will be learning how to chant the basic Pali Chanting. On the same time, 8 o'clock in the evening at our centre here: no. 14 Phuah Hin Leong Road, off Burma Road, Georgetown. All are welcome to join us.
