WPN New Chants - Wat Pah Nanachat

Apalokanakamma for Sanghadana
Yagghe Bhante Sangho jænætu
Ayaµ pa¥hama bhægo therassa pæpu¼æti
Avasesæ bhægæ amhækaµ pæpu¼anti
Bhikkhþnañca sæmanerænaµ kaha¥¥hænaµ
Yathæsukhaµ paribhuñjantu
Venerable sirs, on this occasion the generous donors have
respectfully offered this food, along with all these requisites, to
the bhikkhu sangha, not favoring any one bhikkhu in particular.
I suggest that this food so offered to the Sangha be shared
according to seniority, the first part going to the senior monks
and then down to the newly ordained bhikkhus.
May the remaining food be shared with the novices and then all
the laypeople gathered here.
If any bhikkhu sees the sharing of almsfood in this way as
inappropriate, may he raise his objection now in the midst of
this assembly...
[wait a moment, if no one raises an objection then continue:]
Otherwise, may the bhikkhus express their approval at this time
by saying "Sadhu" in unison.
