This is a reading in English of the Ratana Sutta, the Jewel Discourse. Ajahn Anan has recommended reciting this sutta particularly in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. This sutta was taught by the Buddha as a way to help alleviate a plague afflicting the city of Vesali. When the monks chanted the sutta, the plague was dispelled and the city returned to prosperity. One can listen peacefully or recite along with the audio.
