“Monks, learn the Atanatiya protection, study the Atanatiya protection, hold in your hearts the Atanatiya protection. Monks, beneficial is the Atanatiya protection for security, protection, freedom from harm and living in ease for monks, Nuns (bhikkhunis) and male and female lay followers.”

With these words the Buddha exhorted His monks to learn the Atanatiya protection for their protection and thus began the tradition of chanting the Sutta for protection and good results.

This collection of Paritta Pali by the renowned Sayadaw U Silananda provides instructive texts together with important translations. It contains all the 11 suttas which in Myanmar is recognized as the “Great Paritta”, namely Managala Sutta, Ratana Sutta, Metta Sutta, Khandha Sutta, Mora Sutta, Vatta Sutta, Dhajagga Sutta, Atanatiya Sutta, Angulimala Sutta, Bojjhanga Sutta and Pubbanha Sutta. Chanted and listened to, with understanding, concentration and devotion, the “Great Paritta” has the power to ward off danger and bring good results. These suttas are chanted daily in monasteries and nunneries as well as in houses of some lay people in all Theravada Buddhist countries. It is hoped that this comprehensive compilation made possible for the fist time, well encourage Buddhist all over the world to participate more fully in their practice.
