Chants & Mantras

This collection of ancient Buddhist chants has been compiled by Thanissara and Kittisaro, former monastics and the founders of Sacred Mountain Sangha, through decades of practice and study. Listening to and learning these chants invites us to gather body, mind, and voice to connect with the unlimited, unbounded, timeless, and selfless qualities of the heart.

We acknowledge and offer profound respect for the dharma transmissions from the Buddhist lineages of Asia.

May these chants be of benefit to all beings.
