Dhamma Vandana

Homage to the Dhamma

Svakkhato Bhagavata Dhammo Sanditthikp, Akaliko

Ehipassiko, Opaneyyiko, Paccattam, Veditabbo, Vinnuhi

Well expounded is the teaching of the Blessed One,

To be self-realized, of immediate results,

For one to come and see, Capable of being practised,

To be realized by the wise each for himself.

Iccevam chahi gunehi pakatam jina pujitam

sampatti dayakam dhammam vandami tihi sadaram

Thus I pay homage in three-fold respect

of body, speech and mind

to the Dhamma, well-known for its six virtues,

respected by the Buddha, and leading to

the three kinds of happiness.
