It is beneficial for everyone to recite daily at least a few verses from the Vandanā, recalling to mind the sublime qualities of the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Saṅgha.

Contemplation on these great qualities will make our minds calm, peaceful and serene.

Lord Buddha’s suttas (sutras) or discourses recited for protection are called paridha. It means protecting us around us, warding off dangers, calamities and bringing success, prosperity, good health, peace and harmony. They contain words of blessing in addition to philosophical, psychological and ethical implications.

Chanting and listening to the Suttas, which contain fruitful characteristics will help us to repeat our reflections on them, preventing our minds from unwholesome and evil tendencies related to greed, hatred and delusion. Chanting the Suttas will guide you to reflect on the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Saṅgha and thus gain true understanding of the path to Peace and Happiness.
