Therefore, I feel very grateful to Dr Chao Khun Laow who was so nice and so hamble that he spend a lot of time to teach us on how to chant the Mahasamaya Sutta, or the Great Meeting of Sutta, which is very well known in Buddhist Chanting and always consider as a protective blessing with full energy.

For me personally, I will always remember the beautiful musical tune, for example “ Iddhimanto jutimanto, Vannavanto yasassino; Modamana abhikkamum, Bhikkhunam samitim vanam”. I understand this sutra is in Pali language, which is very close to Sanskrit that full of historical and cultural value. And by chanting Mahasamaya Sutta, it makes me feel so peaceful in mind, which I think this is the ultimate value of Buddhism.
