About This Teaching
In an answer about chanting, Ajahn Dtun speaks candidly: he admits he does not much like chanting. In his own practice he does only a brief chant before bed, such as the recollection of the Buddha's qualities, and uses the rest of his time for sitting meditation.
He chants at length mainly when the community gathers as a group, and jokes that he has been a somewhat lazy monk when it comes to chanting. The Short shows his emphasis on meditation as the core of personal practice.
