*** Buddhist Chants in Pali and English ***
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_chant

A Buddhist chant is a form of musical verse or incantation, in some ways analogous to Hindu or Christian religious recitations. They exist in just about every part of the Buddhist world, from the Wats in Thailand to the Tibetan Buddhist temples of India. Almost every Buddhist school has some tradition of chanting associated with it, regardless of being Theravada, Mahayana, or Vajrayana.

There are also a number of New Age and experimental schools related to Buddhist thought which practice chanting, some with understanding of the words, others merely based on repetition. 

Traditional chanting:

In Buddhism, chanting is the traditional means of preparing the mind for meditation; especially as part of formal practice (in either a lay or monastic context). Some forms of Buddhism also use chanting for ritualistic purposes.


Theravada chants:

In the Theravada tradition, chanting is usually done in Pali. 
Among the most popular Theravada chants are:

        * Buddhabhivadana (Preliminary Reverence for the Buddha)
        * Tisarana (The Three Refuges)
        * Pancasila (The Five Precepts)
        * Buddha Vandana (Salutation to the Buddha)
        * Dhamma Vandana (Salutation to his Teaching)
        * Sangha Vandana (Salutation to his Community Disciples)
        * Upajjhatthana (The Five Remembrances)
        * Metta Sutta (Discourse on Loving Kindness)
        * Reflection on the Body (32 parts of the body).

The chants in this torrent are Pali with English translations interspersed.
