The following is the chanting text that we currently use for our Pūjā, as of 2025. We also have a long-form version of our Pūjā book, known as the Nava Pūjā, composed by Ven. S. Dhammika in 2010. It is available in hardcopy at the Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society premises.

Verse on spreading mettā to all sentient beings
Dukkhappattā ca nidukkhā
Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce paduṭṭhena, bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṁ dukkhamanveti, cakkaṁ va vahato padaṁ.
All things are preceded by mind, mind comes first, they are made of mind. If one speaks or acts with a negative mind, suffering follows, as the wheel of the cart follows the foot of the ox.
Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce pasannena, bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṁ sukhamanveti, chāyā va anapāyinī.

By offering these lights,
may the path be free from darkness,
and may our hearts and minds
be always pure and bright.
We offer these flowers,
fresh, fragrant and beautiful,
at the Buddha's
lotus-like feet.
By offering these flowers,

which destroys all craving,
and cuts all bonds.
With this fragrant incense,
prepared from sweet things,
we worship the Exalted One,
who is worthy of respect and honour.
By offering this fragrance
prepared for the Tathagatha,
may the perfume of virtue
spread always and everywhere.

The Purification
If, by body, speech or mind,
I have carelessly done wrong,
may I be forgiven,
O Tathagatha of great wisdom.
By acknowledging my transgressions
with openness and honesty
before the Buddha most wise,
may my mind be always pure.
(see Recollection of Virtue Part II)
If, by body, speech or mind,
others have done me wrong,
I forgive them everything now,

Through my readiness to forgive,
may they be safe and free from sorrow,

be filled with kindness and love.
(see Recollection of Virtue Part I)
If, by body, speech or mind,
I have done others good,

CLOSING CHANTS
(Either of the Karaṇīya Mettā Sutta or the Ratana Sutta)
Karaṇīya Mettā Sutta || Discourse on Loving-Kindness || 慈经
“Karaṇīya mattha kusalena,
Yaṁ taṁ santaṁ padaṁ abhisamecca;
Sakko ujū ca sūjū ca,
Sūvaco c’assa mudu anatimānī.
This is what should be done by one skilled in good and who wishes to attain that peaceful state. They should be able, straightforward, very straightforward, easy to speak to, flexible and not proud.
对于证知了寂静的境界，善于利益者应当做的是：堪能、正直与端正，易受劝、柔和、不骄慢。
Santussako ca subharo ca,
Appakicco ca sallahukavutti;
Santindriyo ca nipako ca,
Appagabbho kulesu ananugiddho
Contented and easily supported, with few duties and living in simplicity, with sense faculties calmed, ardent, and not greedy with families.
知足与容易护持，少事务与生活简朴，寂静诸根与明智，不鲁莽与不贪着诸俗人家。
Na ca khuddaṁ samācare kiñci,
Yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṁ;
Sukhino vā khemino hontu,
Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā
They should do no mean thing that others might criticize and they should think, “May all beings be happily secured and happily minded”.
凡其他智者会指责的，即使是小事也不做。愿一切有情快乐与安稳，愿他们自得其乐！
Ye keci pāṇa bhūtatthi,
Tasā vā thāvarā vā anavasesā;
Dīghā vā ye mahantā vā,
Majjhimā rassa kāṇuka thūlā
“Whatever creatures there are, moving or still, tall, middle sized or short, small or great, without exception”.
凡是有息的生类，脆弱的或稳固的尽无遗，长的、大的或中的，短的、小的或粗的。
Diṭṭhā vā ye va adiṭṭhā,
Ye ca dūre vasanti avidūre;
Bhūtā va sambhavesī vā,
Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
“The seen or the unseen, whether living near or far, existing or not yet come into being, let all creatures be happy”.
无论已见或未见的，住在远的或近的，已生的或寻求出生的，愿一切有情自得其乐！
Na paro paraṁ nikubbetha,
Nātimaññetha katthacinaṁ kañci
Byārosanā paṭighasañña,
Nāñña maññassa dukkhamiccheyya
One should not harm another or despise anyone for any reason anywhere. Do not wish pain upon another out of either anger or repugnance.
当不要有人欺骗他人；不要轻视任何地方的任何人；当不要以愤怒与厌恶想，而彼此希望对方受苦。
Mātā yathā niyaṁ puttaṁ
Āyusā eka putta manurakkhe;
Evampi sabba bhūtesu,
Mānasaṁ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṁ.
Just as a mother would protect her only child even at the risk of her own life; even so, one should cultivate unbounded love towards all beings in the world.
正如母亲对待自己的儿子，会以生命来保护唯一的儿子；应当如此对一切生类，修习无量的心。
Mettañca sabba lokasmiṁ,
Mānasaṁ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṁ;
Uddhaṁ adho ca tiriyañca,
Asambādhaṁ averaṁ asapattaṁ.
A mind unbounded, above, below, across, without obstruction, without hatred, and without rivalry.
应当以慈爱对一切世界，修习无量的心，上方、下方及横方，无障碍、无怨恨、无敌对。
Tiṭṭhaṁ caraṁ nisinno vā,
Sayāno vā yāvat’assa vigata middho
Etaṁ satiṁ adhiṭṭheyya,
Brahma metaṁ vihāraṁ idhamāhu
And whether standing, walking, sitting or lying down, so long as one is free from drowsiness one should practice mindfulness. This, they say, is the highest conduct here.
无论站着、行走、坐着或躺着，只要他离开睡眠，都能决意此慈念，这被称为在此的梵住。
以及不堕入邪见，持戒，具足智见，调伏对诸欲的贪爱，确定不再卧母胎中。

Ratana Sutta || Discourse on the Jewels
Diṭṭhiñca anupaggamma, sīlavā,
Dassanena sampanno;
Kāmesu vineyya gedhaṁ,
Nahi jātu gabbhaseyyaṁ punaretī ti.
Not to hold wrong views, to be virtuous and endowed with insight, and having overcome greed for desires, such a person is not born again.

Tasmā hi bhūtā nisāmetha sabbe,
Mettaṁ karotha mānusiyā pajāya;
Divā ca ratto ca haranti ye baliṁ,
Tasmā hi ne rakkhatha appamattā.
Listen here, all beings! Shower your loving-kindness to those humans who, day and night, bring offerings to you. Therefore, guard them diligently.
Yaṁ kiñci vittaṁ idha vā huraṁ vā,

Dhammapada Verses 1 and 2 法句经
Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce paduṭṭhena, bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṁ dukkhamanveti, cakkaṁ va vahato padaṁ.
All things are preceded by mind, mind comes first, they are made of mind. If one speaks or acts with a negative mind, suffering follows, as the wheel of the cart follows the foot of the ox.
諸法意先導，意主意造作。
若以染污意，或語或行業，
是則苦隨彼，如輪隨獸足 。
Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā;
Manasā ce pasannena, bhāsati vā karoti vā;
Tato naṁ sukhamanveti, chāyā va anapāyinī.
All things are preceded by mind, mind comes first, they are made of mind. If one speaks or acts with a positive mind, happiness follows, like a never-departing shadow.
諸法意先導，意主意造作。
若以清淨意，或語或行業，
是則樂隨彼，如影不離形。
(中文翻译：葉均)
