Lovingkindness chant

Here's a beautiful lovingkindness chant from the Theravadin tradition that I first came across while on retreat at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts.

This kind of chant can be a meditation in its own right. As you learn the meaning it becomes a series of reflections and aspirations which help retrain the mind. Even when you don't understand the meaning fully it can be a mindfulness practice which helps us develop calm and focus. And also, as long as you're chanting these Pali words you won't be doing so much of that tiresome thinking that causes worry, stress, anger, etc.

It comes with a very pleasant lilting tune, and here is a version of the traditional Pali chant, by the Venerable Ariya Ñana.
