Here is the scanned copy of the A Manual of Buddhist Studies Through the Sacred Book of Buddhist Chants Pali-Thai-English Translations.
Due to file size, we separate into 2 different files for English:
It is difficult to obtain the book outside Thailand- but this book is useful because when you chant, the English meaning is right next to the Pali words. You can eyeball at the meaning and will be able to know what you are chanting. The author, in the book, had kindly allow copies of his book to be made.
More chanting book, featuring the Mandarin version and some chanting that is not available in the book above will be scanned and published in stages.
