Evening Chanting (Pali)
Dedication of Offerings
[ To the Ble꜕ssed One, ] the꜕ Lord, who fu꜓lly a꜕ttained
perfect enli꜕ghtenment,
To the꜕ Teaching, which he expo꜕unde꜕d so well,
And to the꜕ Blessed One’s disci꜓ples who have pra꜕ctised well,
To these — the꜕ Buddha, the꜕ Dhamma, a꜕nd the Sa꜓ṅgha —
We render wi꜕th offerings our ri꜓ghtful ho꜖mage.
It is we꜓ll for us that the Ble꜕ssed One, having attained li꜕bera꜓tion,
Still had co꜕mpassion for later ge꜓nera꜖tions.
May the꜕se simple o꜓fferings be acce꜕pted
For o꜕ur long-lasting benefit and fo꜕r the ha꜓ppiness it giv꜖es us.
The꜕ Lord, the꜕ Perfectly Enli꜓ghtened and Ble꜕ssed One —
I꜕ render homage to꜕ the Bu꜓ddha, the Ble꜕ssed One.
[ The꜕ Teaching, ] so co꜕mpletely expla꜓ined by him —
I bo꜖w to꜕ the꜕ Dha꜕mma.
[ The꜕ Blessed One’s disci꜓ples, ] who have pra꜕ctised well —
I bo꜖w to꜕ the꜕ Sa꜕ṅgha.
