TIPIṬAKA 181 • Mahāvagga VIII - Part 1

This is Part 181 of my recital of the "Tipiṭaka," the "Three Baskets" of pre-sectarian Buddhism, as translated into English from the original Pali Language by The Pali Text Society: https://palitextsociety.org

In this episode, we'll begin reading "Mahāvagga VIII," from the "Vinaya Piṭaka," the first of the three "Piṭaka," or "Baskets." "Mahāvagga" literally means "Great Division."

The music in the beginning and end of this and all episodes of this series is from a particular recital of the medieval Japanese translation of The Heart of Great Wisdom Sutra, called Hannya Shingyo, with taiko drum, in a temple in Japan. If you would like to hear that whole recital, it can be found here:    • 法楽太鼓 2 「般若心経～諸真言」 東谷寺 （真言宗豊山派）  

Edward is not a formally ordained Ngakpa, but wears the shawl, with great respect, during these recitations of published Buddhist Scriptures.
