Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato
This time, I made four songs using the sutras of Theravada Buddhism.
Each of these four songs uses a different Indian melody. Even with the same sutra, the image changes if the melody is different. Please use these songs to memorize sutras.
The four songs are titled with the names of the four disciples of the Buddha. These Buddhist disciples are known to Buddhists around the world.
Chanting this scripture before beginning Theravada Buddhist meditation. Usually, the melody and way of singing differ slightly depending on the teacher. This makes it difficult to remember and sing.
I made the song easy to remember
using Indian scale and rhythm.

and defend it.

that intoxicate (people)."
