Smot chanting, or smot (Khmer: ស្មូត or ស្មូតរ) is a chanting tradition performed primarily at funerals in Cambodia.[1] It is associated with other various forms of Buddhist chanting used by Buddhism in Cambodia but distinct from both paritta chant and khatha used in Buddhist chant to proclaim the Dhammapada.
