Chanting from the Heart Vol 1
Sutras and Chants for Recitation from the Plum Village Community
Authors: Thích Nhất Hạnh
Published: May 30, 2023
Chanting from the Heart Vol. 1: The first volume in the revised edition of Chanting from the Heart, by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh and the monks and nuns of Plum Village.
Vol. 1: Buddhist Sutras and Recitations, contains sutras from both the Theravada and Mahayana traditions, translated by Thích Nhất Hạnh from both the Pali and Chinese canons. In Chanting from the Heart, he included the sutras he felt to be the most essential for study and regular recitation by his lay and monastic disciples.
The recitations are verses for contemplation and reading aloud, some written by Thích Nhất Hạnh, others handed down through his Vietnamese Zen tradition. These sutras and recitations are read, recited, and chanted regularly during daily meditation sessions in Thích Nhất Hạnh’s Plum Village monasteries and practice centers worldwide.
You can find the Ceremonies and Practices in Volume 2.
