I can find different traditions of Pali chanting (singing style) on the Internet, but am unable to find any, just a text (such as Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) reading. Such as a text reading sound can help people how to read a Pali text properly in term of pronunciation and meaning. Does anyone know of this reading? Any advice?

Dear Ardavarz,

What an auspicious find!!! I have spent weeks looking for lessons on the Pali language and routinely hit roadblocks. I then read this message and what I have been looking for is provided on a silver platter. Thank You so much. I will be downloading all of the MP3 files and storing them. I would recommend others doing the same thing before this dhamma disappears like some of the others.

Thanks Again.
