Chanting the Om Namo
Most serious practitioners of nuad boran are familiar with the
traditional prayer that is offered to the founding father, Jivaka
Kumarbhaccha. This mantra, passed down over many generations in the
Pali language, is often recited aloud by students, practitioners
and teachers before the start of a Thai massage class or even
silently before beginning a session.
But not many of us know the precise melody in order to chant
this prayer. Many long term students and practitioners who have
studied where this mantra is chanted (such as with Ajahn Pichest
Boonthumme or at the Old Medicine Hospital) are familiar with the
basic tones of inflection, but perhaps not the precise melody.
The Thai Healing Alliance has transcribed the melody so it can
be made available to THAI members and the greater Thai massage
community. It is transcribed from a version sung by Pichest
Boonthumme, and is annotated in an easy, 3-line format that can be
followed by everyone. The solid black lines guide you from one note
to the next, and the dashed lines prepare you for the first note of
the next line. The final syllable slurs slightly downward. Please
photocopy these pages and share this traditional chant with your
Thai massage teachers, colleagues and students.
