Welcoming the Sangha Body to ceremonies and to Dharma practice.

Opening Chant

Michael Siborski (alternate version
100

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammā Sambudhassa ¹
Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammā Sambudhassa
Namo Tassa Bhagavato A 🕭rahato Sammā Sambudhassa ⚟

The Dharma is deep and lovely.
We now have a chance to see, study and practice it.
We vow 🕭 to realize its true meaning. ⚟

Also seen in this novice ordination ceremony from 2016 (Plum Village / YouTube)
