সীবলী পরিত্রাণ। THE SĪVALI PARITTA. (THE SĪVALĪ PROTECTIVE CHANT)

Описание: THE SĪVALĪ PROTECTIVE CHANT


1. All Buddhas and Silent Buddhas have perfected the
perfections. We chant the Protective Chant extolling the
virtues of Sīvalī, the great arahant.
{“Najālītī’ti jālitaṃ – ā ī ū āma isvāhā” is a mantra (a charm) which has to be used in its original form.}

2. A hundred thousand years ago, Buddha Padumuttara, who understood the reality of all phenomena, appeared.

3. Sīvalī, the great arahant, became eminently suitable to receive all offerings and adorations. He was beloved of men and gods. He was a pleasant, great saint. He was beloved of the nagas and the great winged beings. His organs were subdued. We worship him who received the offerings of gods and men.

4. My mind was not at rest. It burnt with various fires. May all profits and benefits accrue to you.

5. My mother suffered seven days in labour pain, bearing pain and tears because of her love for me.

6. I attained Sainthood while my head was being shaven to ordain as a monk. Gods, Nagas and humans offer me requisites.

7. I offered special gifts to the Buddha Padumuttara and Vipassi with great delight.

8. As a result of that special act of merit, I receive many requisites, whether I am in the forest, in the village, in water or on land.

9. At that time I attended upon the Buddha, the Leader of the world, who was pleasantly disposed towards me. He had a great retinue of monks.

10. The Enlightened One took me to see Revata at Jetavana and placed me above others.

11. On the day the Buddha approached Revata with a retinue of thirty thousand monks, the Buddha who calms the mind of the whole world, stated this:

12. “O monks! Of my disciples, Sīvalī is the greatest from the point of view of receiving gifts and requisites.” The Buddha extolled me this way, in the presence of the audience.

13. All my defilements were extinguished. The cycle of existence become totally exhausted. I live bereft of defilements, like an elephant who has shattered his shackles.

14. My visit to the Buddha was fruitful. I acquired the three forms of knowledge. I received the highest gains in the Dispensation of the Buddha.

15. I achieved the four forms of high awareness, the eight forms of liberation, and the six forms of advanced knowledge.

16. Great Arahant Sīvalī is a disciple of the Buddha. He is the son of the Buddha. He is possessed of great power. He is a
great hero.

17. May Arahant Sīvalī who is affluent and glorious, protect us always, through the power of his moral strength.

18. The way the Buddha, seated at the foot of the Bodhi Tree, vanquished death (Mara) will remain for an aeon. May Arahant Sivali protect us.

19. My Great Arahant who entered the Buddha’s Dispensation, having fulfilled the ten perfections, is the son of Sakya Gotama.

20. There were eighty great disciples. Of the widest reputed Ven. Punna was the greatest. Of those who received requisites, Ven. Sīvalī was the greatest.

21. The Buddha possesses virtues one cannot even think about. The greatest of the Buddha’s Dispensation is beyond thought. Those who are happy and with what one cannot think about, will receive results beyond thought.

22. May all suffering be eradicated and may you be protected by the virtue of this truth, by the power of morality, patience and loving kindness.

23. May all fears be eradicated and may you be protected by the virtue of this truth, by the power of morality, patience and loving kindness.

24. May all illnesses be eradicated and may you be protected by the virtue of this truth, by the power of morality, patience and loving kindness.
