This chant helps develop concentration of mind in the person doing the recitation and establishes confidence in the supreme qualities of Lord Buddha, as they recollect them during the recitation. With the mind established in concentration, the disciple then experiences mental &
physical refreshment, experiences joy and single pointedness of mind.
This engenders an aura of peace and calmness in one, and one is then able to spread positive energy to the people and environment all around.. Salutation to the Buddha

Detailed meaning
Arahaṃ
He is free of desire, hatred and ignorance, in all their forms.

Sammā-sambuddho
He discovered the Four Noble Truths on his own and understood them completely, like no other.

Vijjā-caraṇa-sampanno
The Buddha is endowed with both knowledge and correct behavior, in theory and practice. He speaks as he behaves and he behaves as he speaks.

Sugato
He has reached the supreme, Nibbāna. Furthermore, he is a great speaker who is able to choose the right words, to say them at the right time, and to say them in a way that will be of value to the listener. The Buddha was the greatest master in this.

Lokavidū
He has knowledge of all worlds and therefore of our world in every possible way.

Anuttaro purisa-damma-sārathi
This means that the Buddha is the best teacher who can get the sheep back into the pen. The Buddha can make people understand the teaching with just one sentence. We should reflect on this quality of the Buddha when we experience problems in teaching or when we explain things to children. How wonderful is the Buddha in this!

Satthā deva-manussānaṃ
He is a teacher for all beings he can reach, in all worlds.

Buddho
He himself discovered the Four Noble Truths and knows them like no other. He is the Awakened One, awakened out of ignorance and illusion. Everything that can be known is known by him.

Bhagavā
Bhagavā is called the most skillful of all people who are endowed with special powers. The merits collected by the Buddha are unsurpassed. The perfections (parami) he has developed are generosity, moral conduct, renunciation, wisdom, patience, truthfulness, determination, loving kindness and equanimity. He perfected these qualities to the most difficult and highest level. For example, he shared not only material things in his past lives but also his limbs and life.
