About Bojjhanga Sutta: The Seven Factors Of Enlightenment

Sri Lankan style Buddhist Chanting of Buddha Teaching with Healing Energy. The term bojjhanga is composed of bodhi and anga. Bodh denotes enlightenment, insight concerned with the realization of the four Noble Truths. Among the protective and benedictory chants, the one that is widely known for its healing effect is bojjhanga paritta. Paritta means protection and bojjhanga refers to the seven factors of enlightenment (bodhinana). It is recited particularly to ward off illness and to promote healing. The belief in the restorative power of bojjhanga goes back to the time of the Buddha when the Buddha and his two great noble disciples, Maha Kassapa and Maha Moggallana, recovered from serious illness after listening to the chanting of bojjhanga. It has become a tradition in Theravada countries for monks and lay devotees to recite this chant for the sick. It is believed that the truth of the Dhamma and the Buddha's boundless compassion embodied in the verses chanted have great power to promote healing. The efficacy of the chanting is enhanced especially when bojjhanga is recited accurately and in proper accents with sincerity and conviction. Attentively listening to the recitation with appreciation of the truth of the Dhamma and of the Buddha's limitless compassion, and with confidence in the Triple Gems, the mind of the listener becomes calm (passaddhi) and joyful (piti).
