Ratana Sutta
Recital of avert Evil Forces
The Buddha uttered the following powerful and effective Sutta (discourse) on His visit to the epidemic-stricken township of Vesali to bless victims to protect them from famine, sickness, evil spirits and other kinds of misfortune.
During the Buddha's time, many people were benefited and misfortunes were averted following the recital of the Ratana Sutta. This Sutta also explains the highest qualities of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha by giving details of the Triple Gem in its various facets. At the end of every stanza the Buddha blessed everyone saying "By this truth may all beings be happy and blissful. "
Sakka, the King requested the other sangha, who had assembled to hear this discourse, to radiate their loving-kindness towards human beings, and to protect those who remember them and fulfill their religious obligations.
After hearing this Sutta, even Sakka the King, became delighted and paid homage to the Triple Gem by uttering the last three verses.
All devotees are strongly urged to recite this Sutta daily, as well as during illness or at other times when they are disturbed. Occasionally, monks should be invited to their homes to chant this and other important Suttas. Ratana Sutta
