Me thinks she was doing some Khmer chanting, except translated into English. Either way, impossible for non-monks to contemplate and understand.

Pali would seem to be almost the same as Khmer at my wat....
Or have I accidentally learnt to speak Pali?

You are attending a most learned wat. While Khmer has many Pali(and some Sanskrit) etymological origins, even the monks at all wats formally study Pali. With a language gift like yours you probably can understand Beowulf based on your knowledge of English.

Perhaps the monks delightful chanting will dull your righteous attitude....

Re: Chbab Srey - Code and Conduct for Khmer Women
Thank you for the invitation, but temple hopping doesn't particularly suit my lifestyle. I also fail to see how our local Pali chanting could differ that much. What you consider a "righteous attitude" I view as a healthy scepticism based on experience and contact with local monks who have to study Pali and local.jah jah who have to memorize it. Àlso, after the Pali chant a "somrai" or Khmer translation follows immediately. The only Pali and/Sanskrit words loosely known among the local populous are the separate vocabularies for common occurrences such as sleeping, eating and so on.Barang chgout wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:31 amCome to Osoam and have a listen.taabarang wrote:"Pali would seem to be almost the same as Khmer at my wat....

Well founded disagreements are always welcome, however it is difficult to sharpen my mind under your
described circumstances. I suggest you take your claims and my refutation thereof to a learned priest.

I guess I'll just settle back and listen a little more carefully.

2 days+ of chanting will be coming to me next week. Not sure if I’ll be more enlightened or need and IV drip afterwards.

Although you are probably are aware of what I am referring to, I should nonetheless clarify. Those two separate Pali/Sanskrit vocabularies are used for 1)monks and 2)royalty.
