Homage to the Dhamma
(Handa mayam dhammābhitthutim karomase)
Yo so svākkhāto bhagavatā dhammo
The Dhamma is well expounded by the Blessed One,
Sandiṭṭhiko
Apparent here and now,
Akāliko
Timeless,
Ehipassiko
Encouraging investigation,
Opanayiko
Leading inwards,
Paccattaṃ veditabbo viññūhi
To be experienced individually by the wise.
Tam-ahaṃ dhammaṃ abhipūjayāmi tam-ahaṃ dhammaṃ sirasā namāmi
I chant my praise to this Teaching, I bow my head to this Truth.
(Bow.)
