Devatā-Ārādhanā

Inviting the Deities

May all deities in universe assemble here togeher, hearing the holy Buddha’s dispensation from the wise, who lead us to heaven and freedom. In heaven and brahma, on top of mountains, in celestial, in islands, in urban and rural, in forest, around house and farm. May earth deities come from water, land or celestial, together with Yakkha, Gandhabba, and Naga. And may anywhere they are, they can hear Buddha’s word like this.

This is the time to hear Dhamma (three times)

Notes: If you read chant in temple, so the last line replaced with :

This is the time to see Buddha
This is the time to hear Dhamma
This is the time to honour Sangha
