Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

[Intro Stanza - English - Invocation of Peace]

[Conch Shell & Veena]
In the lotus heart, awaken,
Dawn’s first light, the world embraces,
Still the mind, let love arise,
Boundless peace for all that breathes.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

[Instrumental]

[Stanza 1 - Pali - Qualities]

[Mridangam & Manjira]
Karaṇīyam atthakusalena,
Yaṃ taṃ santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca;
Sakko ujū ca sūjū ca,
Suvaco cassa mudu anatimānī.

[Stanza 2 - English - Wish for Happiness]

[Flute, Manjira & Mridangam]
Do no wrong the wise would condemn,
May all beings live in joy,
Safe and secure, at ease in heart,
All beings joyful in themselves.

[Chorus 1 - Pali-English Mix]

[Flute, Manjira & Mridangam]
May all beings be happy,
Safe in themselves and secure,
With loving-kindness embrace all,
As a mother shields her child.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

[Instrumental]

[Stanza 3 - Pali - Inclusivity & Non-Harm]

[Veena: plucked arpeggios for contrast, hypnotic]

[Flute: carry a soaring melody]

[Mridangam: driving the rhythm]
Diṭṭhā vā ye ca adiṭṭhā,
Ye ca dūre vasanti avidūre;
Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha,
Nāññamaññassa dukkham iccheyya.

[Stanza 4 - English - Boundless Love]

[Manjira: sparse for emotional clarity]

[Conch Shell: soft hum for a meditative pause]
As a mother guards her child,
Her only child, with all her life,
So too with all beings, cultivate
A boundless love, vast as the heart.

[Chorus 2 - Pali-English Mix]

[Veena, Flute & Mridangam]
Sabbe sattā sukhitā hontu,
Sukhitattā ca khemino,
Mettā-bhāvanāya sabbam,
Mātā yathā niyam puttam,

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

[Instrumental]

[Stanza 5 - Pali - Liberation]

[Manjira & Conch Shell]
Diṭṭhiñ ca anupagamma,
Sīlavā dassanena sampanno;
Kāmesu vineyya gedhaṃ,
Na hi jātu gabbhaseyyaṃ punar eti.

[Final Chorus ]

[Flute: long, breathy note fading with reverb]

[Veena & Manjira: Gentle plucks and cymbal accents to close]
Sabbe sattā sukhitā hontu,
Sukhitattā ca khemino,
Mettā-bhāvanāya sabbam,
Mātā yathā niyam puttam,
May all beings find their peace,
Safe and joyful, free from harm,
With boundless love, embrace the world,
As a mother shields her child forever.

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Forever)
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Forever)
