Un grand merci pour cette vidéo, ce partage de la culture et des arts bouddhistes sri-lankais. Je me souviens de ma jeunesse, quand j'ai fabriqué des Pirith Mandapa avec mes amis, au Temple. Je retrouve ce même esprit, qui touche mon cœur profondément.

I am an Indian Buddhist. I really love the Sri Lankan style of Buddhist pirith chanting. Where can I get to learn this?

[@artworksnice]

Hi Kapil, thanks for your interest. What are the aspects of "pirith" that you'd like to learn more about? Thanks and best.

[@KapilGaikwad-dg2ob]

@@artworksnice I want to learn the "pirith" chanting form. The way you chant, slowed, deep, melodious, and with proper Pali pronunciation.

[@artworksnice]

@@KapilGaikwad-dg2ob Yah sure. I know people in Sri Lanka who could help you learn. Any plans to visit SL? Cheers

[@KapilGaikwad-dg2ob]

@@artworksnice I cannot visit Sri Lanka right now, but I hope to visit sometime in the next 5 years.
