The Ratana Sutta, or the Jewel Discourse, is a sutta that Ajahn Anan has recommended chanting particularly in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. This sutta was taught by the Buddha as a way to help alleviate a plague afflicting the city of Vesali. When the monks chanted the sutta, the plague was dispelled and the city returned to prosperity.
