Then a certain deity at midnight, having illuminated the whole Jeta-grove with surpassing splendour, came to the presence of the Blessed One. Having worshipped the Blessed One, he very respectfully stood at a suitable place; and then addressed the Blessed One in verse: Bah dev manuss ca, Ma gal ni acintayu ka kham n sotth na , Br hi ma galamuttama Many gods and men, Have pondered on auspicious signs

Ta kho pana bhikkhave Sakkassa v dev namindassa dhajagga ullokayata , Paj patissa v devar jassa dhajagga ullokayata , Varu assa v devar jassa dhajagga ullokayata , s nassa v devar jassa dhajagga ullokayata , ya bhavissati bhaya v chambhitatta v lomaha so v , so pah yeth pi nopi pah yetha. Monks, in those who look up to the crest of Sakka, king of the gods, or Paj pati, or Varuna, or s na, king of the gods, any fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh that has arisen may be overcome; or again it may not. Ta kissa hetu? Sakko hi bhikkhave dev namindo av tar go av tadoso av tamoho bh r chambh utr s pal y ti. What is the reason for this? Because Sakka, ruler of the gods, is not free from lust, hatred, and delusion; and is himself timid, given to panic, to fright, to running away. Ahaca kho bhikkhave eva vad mi sace tumh ka bhikkhave araagat na v rukkham lagat na v su g ragat na v uppajjeya bhaya v chambhitatta v lomaha so v mameva tasmi samaye anusareyy tha. I say to you, monks: If, when you have gone into the forest, to the root of a tree, to an empty place, fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh should arise in, then on that occasion remember me and recollect

28

Itipi so Bhagav araha , samm sambuddho, vijj cara asampanno, sugato, lokavid , anuttaro purisadammas rathi, satth devamanuss na , buddho, bhagav ti. The Blessed One, is fully enlightened, enowed with knowledge and conduct, fortunate, knower of the worlds, the incomparable trainer of trainable persons, the teacher of gods and men, enlightened, and Blessed. Mama hi vo bhikkhave anussarata ya bhavissati bhaya v chambhitatta v lomaha so v , so pah yissati. If, monks, you remember me, any fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh that will have arisen will be overcome. No ce ma anussarey tha, atha Dhamma anussareyy tha: If you cannot remember, remember the Dhamma and recollect: Sv kkh to bhagavat dhammo sandi vi h ti. hiko ak liko ehipassiko opaneyyiko paccatta veditabbo

Well taught is the Dhamma by the Blessed One, realisable by oneself, of immediate effect, inviting investigation; leading onwards, to be personally realised by the wise. Dhamma hi vo bhikkhave anussarata ya bhavissati bhaya v chambhitatta v lomaha so v , so pah yissati. If you can remember the Dhamma, your fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh will be overcome. No ce Dhamma anussareyy tha, atha Sa gha anussareyy tha: If you cannot remember the Dhamma, then remember the Order, and recollect: Suppa ipanno bhagavato s vakasa gho, ujuppa ipanno bhagavato s vakasa gho, yappa ipanno bhagavato s vakasa gho, s m cippa ipanno bhagavato s vakasa gho, yadida catt ri purisayug ni a ha purisapuggal , esa bhagavato s vakasa gho, huneyyo, p huneyyo, dakkhineyyo, ajalikara yo, anuttara puakkhetta lokass ti. The Blessed One's Disciples have practised well, they have practised honestly they have practised wisely, they have practised dutifully that is the four pairs, the eight individuals they ares the Blessed One's Disciples. They are worthy of offerings, oblations, gifts, salutations, an incomparable field of merit for the world. Sa gha hi vo bhikkhave anussarata ya bhavissati bhaya v chambhitatta v lomaha so v , so pah yissati. If you remember the Order, your fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh will be overcome. Ta kissa hetu? Tath gato hi bhikkhave araha samm sambuddho v tar go v tadoso v tamoho abh r achambhi anutr s apal y ti.

29

What is the reason for this? Tath gata, monks, is an Arahant, Fully Enlightened, free of lust, hatred and delusion, without any timidity, panic, or fear, and does not run away. Idamavoca Bhagav ida vatv na Sugato ath para etadavoca satth : Thus said the Blessed One, and having spoken, the Fortunate One said further: Arae rukkham le v su g re v bhikkhavo anussaretha sambuddha bhaya tumh ka no siy . Whenever in the forest or at the root of a tree or in empty places you abide, remember, monks, the Blessed One; then no fear will overcome you. No ce Buddha sareyy tha, lokaje ha nar sabha ; Atha Dhamma sareyy tha, niy nika sudesita . If you cannot remember the Buddha the most best in the world, and leader of the herd remember the Dhamma, the well-taught guide. No ce Dhamma sareyy tha, niyy nika sudesita ; Atha Sa gha sarey tha, puakkhetta anuttara . If you cannot remember the Dhamma, the well-taught guide, then remember the Order, the incomparable field of merit. Eva Buddha sarant na , Dhamma Sa ghaca bhikkhavo; Bhaya v chambhitatta v , lomaha so na hessati. If you thus take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, fear, panic, and creeping of the flesh will never arise in you. then

10. Bojjha ga Paritta Download Bojjhanga.mp3 Enlightenment Factors Protection Bojjhanga Sutta Video Sa s re sa sarant na , Sabbadukkhavin sane; Satta dhamm ca bojjha ge, M rasen pamaddane. These seven dhammas are the factors of enlightenment, which eradicate all the suffering of the creatures who are transmigrating in the universal flux, and which repel the army of Death. Bujjhitv ye c ime satt , Tibhav muttakuttam ; Aj timajar by dhi , Amata nibbhaya gat . Having realised these seven dhammas, beings attain immortality, fearlessness, birthlessness, ageless and disease-free stage; they became transcendental and liberated from three existences. Oh thou! Let us recite this doctrine of Factors of Enlightenment. Evam digu peta ,

Anekagu asa gaha ; Osadhaca ima manta , bojjha gaca bha ma he. Endowed with such and other qualifications together with innumerable qualities, this is a medicinal spell. Bojjha go satisa kh to, Dhamm na vicayo tath V riya p ti passaddhi, Bojjha g ca tath pare. The factors of enlightenment are mindfulness, investigation of states and also effort, rapture, tranquillity, and other factors of enlightenment;

Sam dhupekkh bojjha g ,

44

Satte te sabbadassin , Munin sammadakkh t , Bh vit bahul kat . The factors of concentration and equanimity. All these seven are well expounded by the All-seer; cultivated and amplified repeatedly by the sage Sa vattanti abhi ya, Nibb n ya ca bodhiy , Etena saccavajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbad . In order to discern profoundly, to realise the wisdom, and to attain nibbana; by the asseveration of this truth, may happiness ever be yours. Sattime, Moggall na, bojjha g may sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. Kattame satta?

Ime kho, Moggall na, satt bojjha g may sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. This is the first of three discourses in the Samyuttanik ya, which the Buddha taught to Venerable Moggall na when he was sick. In summary, it says that these seven factors of enlightenment when mastered, well developed, and made much of, lead to higher knowledge, enlightenment, and nibb na.

45

What seven? The factors of enlightenment of mindfulness, invesitation of states, effort, rapture, tranquillity, concentration, and equanimity. The text of this sutta is not included in the Bojjhanga Paritta, but is recited here by the Say daw, and no doubt by other monks too, when attending the sick. Sattime, Kassapa, bojjha g may sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. Kattame satta? Satisambojjha go kho, Kassapa, may sammadakkh to bh vito bahul kato abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattati.

Ime kho, Kassapa, satt bojjha g may sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. This is the second of three discourses in the Samyuttanik ya, which the Buddha taught to Venerable Mah kassapa when he was sick. The text is identical to the above, except for the change of names. The text of this sutta is not included in the Bojjhanga Paritta, but is recited here by the Say daw, and no doubt by other monks too, when attending the sick. Ekasmi samaye n tho, Moggall naca Kassapa , Gil ne dukkhite disv , Bojja ge satta desayi. At one time, the Lord saw Venerable Moggallana and Venerable Kassapa suffering and sick, and he expounded the seven factors of enlightenment.

46

Te ca ta abhinanditv , Rog mucci su ta kha e, Etena saccavajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbad . The two elders were delighted thereat; and at that very moment were freed from the sickness. By this asseveration of truth, may happiness ever be yours. Sattime, Bhante, bojjha g Bhagavat sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. Kattame satta? Satisambojjha go kho, Bhante, Bhagavat sammadakkh to bh vito bahul kato abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattati.

Ime kho, Bhante, satt bojjha g Bhagavat sammadakkh t bh vit bahul kat abhi ya sambodh ya nibb n ya sa vattanti. This is the third of three discourses in the Samyuttanik ya, which the elder Venerable Cunda recited for the Blessed One when he was sick. The text is identical to the above two suttas, except that the Venerable Cunda addresses the Buddha as Bhante, and says that the discourse was taught by the Blessed One Bhagavat . The text of this sutta is not included in the Bojjhanga Paritta, but is recited here by the Say daw, and no doubt by other monks too, when attending the sick. Ekad dhammar j pi, Gelaen bhip ito, Cundattherena ta yeva, Bha petv na s dara .

47

Once even the King of Dhamma, the Buddha himself, was afflicted by sickness, then the Elder Cunda was requested to recite that very doctrine with due reverence. Sammoditv na b dh , Tamh vu h si h naso, Etena saccavajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbad . Having delighted, the Lord rose up thereupon from that sickness. By this asseveration of truth, may happiness ever be yours. Pah n te ca b dh , Ti annampi mahesina ,

Maggahat kiles va, Patt nuppattidhammata , Etena saccavajjena, Sotthi vo hotu sabbad . Just as the defilements, anihilated by Path- consciousness, can arise again no more, in like manner these ailments were eradicated from the three great sages. By this asseveration of truth, may happiness ever be yours. Bojjha gaparitta roca haya vo rakkhatu

12. Jayamangala G th Halo d Triumphs Translated by Venerable charya Buddharakkhita B hu sahassamabhinimmita s yudhanta , Girimekhala udita ghora sasena m ra . D n di dhamma vidhin jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. M ra, the Evil One, assuming a fierce form with a thousand arms each brandishing a deadly weapon, stormed forward roaring, accompanied by his formidable hosts and riding on his elephant, Girimekhala. Him the Sovereign Sage conquered by evoking the might of his exalted perfection of giving, among others. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! M r tireka abhiyujjhita sabbaratti , Ghorampan a avakam akkhamathaddhayakkha . Khant sudantavidhin jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. Even more fiendish than M ra was A avaka, the impetuous and haughty Yakkha who fought a night long battle with the Lord. Him the sovereign Sage conquered through enduring patience flowing out of his unequaled self-mastery. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! N l giri gajavara atimattabh ta . D vaggicakka asan va sud ru anta . Mettambusekavidhin jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. Provoked to run amok, N l giri, the king tusker, like a raging forest fire murderously assailed all in his path, and struck such terror as would Indra s thunderbolt, the irresistible destroyer. Him the Sovereign Sage tamed by sprinkling over him the cooling water of all-embracing love. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Ukkhittakhagga atihatta sud ru anta , Dh vanti Yojanapath angulim lavanta . Iddh bhisa khatamano jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni.

With sword upraised in expert hands did the savage robber, Angulim la, pursue the Lord for a full three leagues. Him the Sovereign Sage conquered by his supernatural powers. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Katv na ka Cic ya du ha udara iva gabbhin y , havacana janak ya majjhe.

Santena somavidhin jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. Posing as a pregnant woman by tying a piece of wood on her belly, Cic falsely accused with lewd words in the midst of a devout congregation. Her the Sovereign Sage subdued through his imperturbable serenity. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Saccam vih ya matisaccaka v daketu , V d bhiropitamana ati andhabh ta . Pa pad pajalito jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. With his perverted intelligence the wandering mendicant, Saccaka, invariably distorted the truth. Pretending to be the very banner of learning, he only blinded his own mental vision as he went about indulging in intellectual disputation. Him the sovereign Sage conquered by his illuminating lamp of wisdom. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Nandopananda bhujaga vibhudha mahiddhi , Puttena therabhujagena damvpayanto. Iddh padesa vidhin jitav Munindo, Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni. The gifted but perverted king of the N gas, Nandopananda by name, possessed great psychic power and was hostile. By instructing the Elder Moggall na, his spiritual son, mighty in supernatural attainments, the Sovereign Sage rendered the N ga king powerless and transformed him. Thus, through a supernormal mode of spiritual instruction intelligible to his kind, did the Master conquer the N ga. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Dugg hadi hibhujagena suda ha hattha

Brahma visuddhi jutimiddhi Bak bhidh na . gadena vidhin jitav Munindo,

Ta tejas bhavatu me jayama gal ni.

Though a deity of great purity, radiance and power, Baka, the Brahma god, was nevertheless in the grip of pernicious views, like an arm tightly held by a snake's coils. Him the Sovereign Sage curved by means of wisdom. By this mighty triumph may joyous victory be mine! Et pi Buddha jayama gala a hag th ,

Yo v cako dine dine sarate matand , Hitv na nekavividh ni c upaddav ni, Mokkha sukha adhigameyya naro sapao. Whoso, day after day, without lethargy, recites and recollects these eight hymns of the Exalted One's glorious triumphs that wise man, having overcome many and diverse obstacles, would attain to the bliss of Deliverance.
