Pirith Pdf Download

Thats really fascinating. I didn't realize that how close one's head is shaved is an indicator for how good of a monk one is. It must be a lot of work to keep one's head shaved all the time. (Wouldn't all that attention to appearance sort of backfire?)

The main idea, as I unbderstand it, is that hair represents a kind of attachment, i.e. you have to style it. But monks don't do a lot of stuff generally, so although it may be a lot of work, it's still SOME kind of work. And for that they are probably happy.

Incidentally, those young monks were - more than likely - podhihamudurava, or young monks, i.e. monks who started when they were very small children.

Sri lankan monks are spreading this pirith noola superstition,please stop it .Buddha has shown the real path...ones future is determined by ones actions.Recently some sri lankan monks went to vietnam and tied these things on the hands of devotees.Sri lankan monks should study buddhism properly,many are engaged in anti buddhist activities.

Pirith Chanting and Pirith Threads have immense power. It can protect the wearer, make him successful by keeping trouble away from him. Of course, Pirith Nul alone won't play a role in that, but it plays a part.

Goal of the Buddhism is to reach Nirvana, but to reach there it's good have all the support including what you can receive via Pirith Nul.

In our workplace, it is a tradition to organize an pirith enchanting ceremony annually. This happens at the production floor in February each year. All are welcome to participate on that day. This happens throughout whole night. Buddhist monks from nearby temples are being invited for the event. There are two type of pirith enchanting ceremonies based on who are chanting pirith. Sometimes it is done by monks, other time by normal people.

In our plant, pirith chanting is being done by Buddhist monks. We are ready throughout a week on this. We stop consuming & preparing meat, fish or any other non-veg food during this period. We added a point to collect things to donate to temples & monks. I saw many items were kept on that point by members in the plant. Most of them were medicines, stationeries and things that are used by monks.

On the pirith day, we were on leave on the morning. We went their around 6 pm using provided transports. Early in the evening, foods were given to all the members and then at around 8 pm the perahara was started. It was consisted with traditional dancers, flags, drummers. Buddhist monks were welcomed to the plant through this perahara.

The night was lit up by the flicker of the oil lamps which were placed along the driveway and the stairs leading up to the main hall. Meanwhile, the torch and flag bearers were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the reverend monks. The event was organized magnificently and the overall decorations were charming and minimalistic, giving the feeling of simplicity of the Buddhist philosophy.

The Pirith chamber (Pirith kotuwa) was significantly different this year compared to last year in terms of its simplicity. The venerable monks blessed the occasion with their presence, and they did not forget to appreciate the fact that an Anglican school has been organizing this event consecutively for more than 40 years. More students and parents were seen at the pirith ceremony compared to the previous years. It was a pleasure to see a few newly joined grade 1 students with their parents. They were very grateful to be a part of the event as well.

The almsgiving was dedicated to bring blessings to the Principal, Vice Principal, Co-vice Principal, staff, parents and students while also remembering the lives of late master Bathiya Ekanayake, Mr Alex Lazurus, and lives of all Trinitians who sacrificed their lives to the society.

It also seemed that the religious diversity at Trinity did not stop students from being a part of this sacred ceremony. Many students who were Muslim, Hindu and Christians were there to help the BSM and the staff with the proceedings. This clearly displays the true humanitarian values that College has inculcated in the hearts of all Trinitians. Thus it is the responsibility of the present and future communities of Trinity to ensure that rich traditions such as this carried out for years to come.

I thank the Principal, Mr Andrew Fowler-Watt and the school management for allowing us to continue this sacred tradition this year as well and our teacher-in-charge Mrs Seetha Dissanayake who has been supporting us throughout the arrangements. I also need to mention Mr Mallawa Dissanayake, our previous master-in-charge to whom the credit should be given for being a thriving force of the BSM for many years in the past. We are very grateful to have such staff members in the vicinity of the school.

I also thank the Committee of the BSM, Samuditha Perera (Secretary), Thamindu Perera (Treasurer), Gimhan Vithanage and Naween Aluwihare from grade 13, Niluminda Dharmawardhane and Bimalka Paingamuwa from grade 12, Thewmika Nimalasena and Omindu Munasinghe from grade 11, Dhananjaya Herath and Chelaka Samaraweera from grade 10 and Uvan Withanage, Yevan Hulangamuwa and Linuka Mallikaarachchi from grade 9.

The beginnings of the BSM dates back to 1976 when Principal Mr Lionel Fernando started the society to facilitate the needs of the Buddhist community at Trinity College. The 1976 college magazine states that even at that time the whole school despite their religion, age and race differences voluntarily participated in the pirith ceremony and the almsgiving. We hope this rich and sacred tradition will continue to take place in the school on the hill as Trinity continues to inculcate true religious values in the hearts and minds of Trinitians both present and in the future to come.

Pirith is the Sinhala word for paritta (in Pali), which means protection. "It protects one from all directions", is the traditional definition. This is the recitation or chanting of the word of the Buddha.

During the 2004 vesak season I put some pirith mp3 files on a web site and received good comments on it. So the next year I planned to improve it on a separate web site. I got a free domain and put that on a free hosted server. Since it was on a free server it was having some problems as usual. Low bandwidth, limited space, Ad's and so on...

In February 2007 I received email from Mr. Lucky Jayasuriya , He is Sinhalese living in USA. He sponsored to web hosting and also he sponsored for pirith.org domain name. That's how this pirith.org comes live.
