Question

[10m] Give this word which appears in chants that some Buddhists pair with bowing during worship, since it means “homage.” Another chant, the Daimoku, begins with this word and then continues “Myōhō Renge Kyō.”
ANSWER: Namo [accept Namu]
[10e] Those chants accompanying Buddhist worship are typically addressed to the Three Jewels of Buddha, dharma, and this monastic community.
ANSWER: Sangha
[10h] Another Theravada chant, the Anumodana, can be performed before meals and rejoices at sharing virtue and this concept with others. The Sangha is likened to a “field” of this concept, and life release, in which captive animals are saved from slaughter, is a form of making this concept.
