Paritta Sutta Pali - English

 Chanting of and Listening to the Suttas

Although the Parittas are for chanting in general, some of the Parittas are to be practised as well.

Only the Ratana Sutta, Mora Sutta, Vatta Sutta, Atanatiya Sutta, Angulimala Sutta and Pubbanha Sutta are meant for chanting only; the others are for both chanting and practising. And there are specific uses for the Parittas although generally they are meant for protection against dangers.
