2012 HBMLP Chanting (Evening, Meals, 88 Buddhas Repentance, Amitabha Pure Land) (Chinese, Pinyin, English).pdf

Just recently compiled for the 2012 Humanistic Buddhism Monastic Life Program, aka the "Woodenfish", this Chanting Book contains the original Chinese, Hanyu Pinyin and English translation for the following common Chinese Buddhist liturgies:  

1. The Heart Sutra (which we use as our standard evening chanting)
2. Meal time offerings (breakfast and lunch, with the Five Contemplations added) 
3. The Amitabha Sutra (standard Pure Land service) 
4. The Eighty Eight Buddha's Repentance

Some of these have appeared on my Blog independently, so there may be some duplication.  Still, hopefully this latest file should be useful for some of you out there!  Enjoy!  

[2012-08-19 Update:  After actually using this document for the 2012 HBMLP I realized to my horror the huge amount of errors inside.  Apologies to all.  Corrections have been made here, though I suspect that many still remain.]
