Mangala Sutta

Mangala is usually rendered as Auspices or Blessings.
Myanmar call it Mingalar

Mangala Sutta describes 38 Blessings, which are related to both Loki (mundane) and Lokotra (supramundane).
First of the 11 Suttas covered in Paritta Pali / Protective Verses.

U Thu Kha wrote a book discussing the Mangala Sutta (using lay people’s terms).

At PPBRS, we had to study “Mingalar Kabyar” (poem) by Saya Dagon U Tun Myint.
Received a Thermos flask for successfully reciting the Kabyar.
Cartoon U Pe Thein illustrated the 38 Blessings.
