ปาฬิภาสา-อักษรสยาม พ.ศ. 2436 กับ ปาฬิภาสา-อักษรพม่า พ.ศ. 2500 และ  ปาฬิภาสา-อักษรโรมัน พ.ศ. 2548.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Tipiṭaka Edition in various scripts will be printed by Dhamma Society, for the first time -- in parallel corpus for all to study and understand...&lt;br /&gt;As you see, the parallel corpus brings a great deal more profound perspective of these sacred scripts --

พ.ศ. 2554 ในวันมาฆบูชา 18 กุมภาพันธ์ พ.ศ. 2554 ณ วัดป่าบ้านตาด อุดรธานี&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...เนื่องด้วยในปลายปี พ.ศ. 2553 คณะสงฆ์ผู้ที่คณะกรรมการ "มูลนิธิเสียงธรรมเพื่อประชาชนฯ" ได้ปรารถถึงความสำคัญของอักษรโรมัน ในการเผยแผ่ธัมมะ โดยใช้พิมพ์กำกับเสียงสวดมนต์ผ่านทางสถานีโทรทัศน์ และทางวิทยุของสถานีวิทยุเสียงธรรมเพื่อประชาชน โครงการพระไตรปิฎกสากลและกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุขฯ ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯ ผู้ดำเนินงานเผยแผ่ข้อมูลพระไตรปิฎกอักษรโรมัน จึงได้มอบข้อมูลพระไตรปิฎกอิเล็คทรอนิกส์ดังกล่าว ถวายแก่คณะสงฆ์&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ต่อ มาในปี พ.ศ. 2554 เมื่อได้มีการประชุมร่วมระหว่างคณะสงฆ์กับโครงการพระไตรปิฎกสากล และกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุขฯ ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯ มากขึ้น มูลนิธิเสียงธรรมเพื่อประชาชนจึงได้รับทราบข้อมูลเพิ่มเติมเกี่ยวกับพระ ไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม พ.ศ. 2436 ซึ่งเป็น "ต้นฉบับ" ที่สำคัญในการจัดทำฐานข้อมูล "ปาฬิภาสา-อักษรโรมัน" พ.ศ. 2548&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ดัง นั้นเมื่อพระอาจารย์พระมหาบัวได้ละสังขารไปในปลายเดือนมกราคม 2554 โครงการพระไตรปิฎกสากล และกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุขฯ ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯ จึงได้มีจิตศรัทธาอย่างแรงกล้าในการถวายพระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม ฉบับอนุรักษ์ดิจิทัล พ.ศ. 2554 ซึ่งได้จัดพิมพ์ขึ้นใหม่ เป็นชุดพิเศษ ชุด 40 เล่ม ชุดเดียวในประเทศไทยในปีนี้ และเมื่อได้รับความเห็นชอบจากคณะสงฆ์ ก็ได้ทำการอัญเชิญพระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม ไปประดิษฐาน ณ วัดป่าบ้านตาด ทั้งนี้เพื่อทางคณะสงฆ์และกรรมการมูลนิธิเสียงธรรมเพื่อประชาชนฯ จะได้พิจารณานำข้อมูล และเนื้อหาไปเผยแผ่ต่อไป ตามเจตนารมย์ของพระอาจารย์พระมหาบัว ญาณสัมปันโน ผู้ซึ่งปฏิบัติตามธัมมะตามพระไตรปิฎกอย่างเคร่งครัด&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;และเนื่องด้วย พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม มีระบบอักขรวิธีการเขียนปาฬิภาสา ที่เป็นเลิศ คือมีเครื่องหมายสัญลักษณ์ "ไม้ยามักการ" กำกับเสียงควบกล้ำที่ชัดเจน พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยามชุดนี้ จึงเป็นเอกสารที่สำคัญยิ่งที่จะใช้อ้างอิงในการสวดสังวัธยายของสงฆ์ ซึ่งเป็นเสียง "ปาฬิภาสา" ที่ทางวัดป่าอรัญญวาสีได้สืบทอดต่อมาอย่างเคร่งครัดตามพระไตรปิฎก และการออกเสียงที่ได้สวดในพระปาติโมกข์&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;นอกจากนั้นที่สำคัญ ยิ่งยวดอีกประการก็คือ พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม เมื่อ พ.ศ. 2436 เป็นการจัดพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎกปาฬิภาสา เป็นชุดๆ แรกในประวัติศาสตร์พุทธศาสนา โดยพระบาทสมเด็จพระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว เจ้ากรุงสยาม ทรงโปรดให้เปลี่ยนวิธีการอนุรักษ์พระพุทธพจน์จากคัมภีร์ใบลานอักษรขอมโบราณ มาเป็นกระดาษที่ทันสมัย และยังได้ตีพิมพ์เป็น "อักษรสยาม" แทน "อักษรขอม" ซึ่งอักษรสยามก็คือ อักษรที่ใช้เขียนภาษาไทยที่ประชาชนทั่วไปสามารถอ่านได้ดีด้วย&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;การ ดำเนินงานและจัดพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎก จปร. เป็นช่วงที่สยามต้องเผชญกับวิกฤตการณ์ร้ายแรงจากลัทธิการล่าอาณานิคมของ ประเทศมหาอำนาจตะวันตก โดยเฉพาะฝรั่งเศส ซึ่งในปีรัตนโกสินทรศก ร.ศ. 112 หรือ พ.ศ. 2436 ฝรั่งเศสได้ส่งเรือรบมาปิดอ่าวไทย หมายจะยึดครองไทยเป็นเมืองขึ้น แต่แม้กระนั้น ไทยก็มีขันติธัมม์ และสามารถอดกลั้นต่ออกุสลทั้งปวง เพื่อเจรจารด้วยสันติวิธี และด้วยความชาญฉลาดของผู้นำกรุงสยาม สยามประเทศก็สามารถเจรจาสงบข้อพิพาทได้ และพระไตรปิฎก ฉบับ จปร. ก็จัดพิมพ์สำเร็จในปีนี้ด้วย อันเป็นมงคลของประเทศ ที่แม้มีปัญหารอบด้าน แต่สยามก็เป็นพระธัมมนคร สามารถจัดสร้างพระไตรปิฎกเป็นชุดตีพิมพ์เป็นชุดแรกของโลก เป็นพระธัมมทานไปทั่วสยาม และยังได้พระราชทานไปเป็นพระธัมมทาน แก่สถาบันสำคัญมในนานาประเทศทั่วโลก รวมทั้งประเทศฝรั่งเศส ด้วย&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ด้วยเหตุสำคัญทางประวัติศาสตร์ต่างๆ นี้ พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม จึงเป็นสัญลักษณ์ --ภาพรวม-- ของสถาบันสำคัญสูงสุดของไทย คือ สถาบันพระพุทธศาสนา สถาบันชาติเอกราช และสถาบันพระมหากษัตริย์พุทธมามกะ ซึ่งล้วนเป็นสิ่งที่พระอาจารย์พระมหาบัว แห่งวัดป่าบ้านตาด ได้เมตตาปลูกฝังให้ชาวไทยตระหนักและปกป้องจนถึงที่สุดเพื่อประโยชน์อัน ไพบูลย์ของลูกหลานไทยในภายหน้า จนเกิดมีโครงการผ้าป่าช่วยชาติที่ยิ่งใหญ่ ที่ชาวไทยทั้งหลายจะไม่มีวันลืมเลือน...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ขอหวังว่า การจัดพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม ฉบับอนุรักษ์ดิจิทัล 2554 และการที่ได้อัญเชิญมาน้อมถวายบูชาพระพุทธ พระธัมม์ พระสงฆ์ เนื่องในงานบำเพ็ญกุสลพระอาจารย์พระมหาบัว ญาณสัมปันโน จะเป็นการบำเพ็ญบุญกิริยาตามแนวทางปฏิปทาของครูบาอาจารย์ฝ่ายอรัญญวาสี ผู้อนุรักษ์พระไตรปิฎก และปฏิบัติตามพระไตรปิฎก ตั้งแต่อดีตจนถึงปัจจุบัน...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ข้อมูลเพื่มเติม&lt;br

To that end they have spent ten years poring over extant editions. These include the text agreed upon by the Sixth Great International Council, held in Burma over the year 2500 of the Buddhist era (1956-57), the edition produced by the Pāḷi Text Society, as well as that of S.N. Goenka’s students, and several others. Through meticulous checking and cross-checking they managed to find and correct literally hundreds of thousands of typographical and other errors. Their efforts have born fruit in what can certainly be reckoned as the most trustworthy representation of the Word of the Buddha, in the Roman alphabet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:times new roman,serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4155056460/" title="World Tipitaka &amp;amp; Cadets from the Thai Armed Forces 2009 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4137329525/" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2750/4155056460_f4cabef6e1_o.jpg" title="World Tipitaka Procession &amp;amp; Ministry of Defense Bangkok 2009 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" width="180" height="140" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4154278955/" title="World Tipitaka &amp;amp; Cadets from the Thai Armed Forces 2009 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2615/4154278955_34342e3d9d_o.jpg" width="180" height="140" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/4137329525_b7397ece3b_b.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: times new roman,serif;" align="justify" width="180" height="140" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4138239764/" title="IMG_9767 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img alt="IMG_9767" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2551/4138239764_233337dc32_b.jpg" width="180" height="140" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4154278955/" title="World Tipitaka &amp;amp; Cadets from the Thai Armed Forces 2009 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:times new roman,serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4137329525/" title="World Tipitaka Procession &amp;amp; Ministry of Defense Bangkok 2009 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:times new roman,serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:times new roman,serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; The ceremony in Bangkok was an occasion of commitment; the group has undertaken to offer these sets of 40 volumes to various universities and monasteries worldwide, many of them going to the very same institutions that were given similar sets in 1897, but in Siam (Thai) script, by King Chulalonkhorn Chulachomklao of Siam.

It is where we get our ethics, our world view and our philosophy from. Each Buddhist Culture reads the Tipiṭaka in their own language or at least in their own script. But with Buddhism now spreading to the West there is a need for an accurate and reliable edition of the Tipiṭaka in Roman script.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;      Of course the Tipiṭaka has been published in Roman script before but all these editions have various errors or drawbacks. For example, I was looking at the first volume of Fausboll's edition of the Jataka published in 1877 by the Pali Text Society and noticed that it has four pages of corrections and additions and that when this volume was reprinted in 2000 these corrections and additions had still not been included in the text.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;     This is not to disparage the dedication and hard work of earlier scholars but merely to point out that there is still room for improvements. And this edition in Roman script definitely is an improvement. Indeed it is a work of the highest order and a truly magnificent monument to Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana in whose memory this gift is made to our and other societies and institutions, and to Mrs. Maniratana Bunnag, the founder of the World Tipiṭaka Project. In preparing this new edition advanced computer-controlling procedures have been used in several dimensions to ensure complete accuracy such as, double-cross checking, from the revision stage through to the artwork, layout and printing.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;     Most importantly, in the World Tipiṭaka Edition, the Pāḷi text with special diacritical marks has been printed by using an open-standard typeface which is user-friendly and easy to copy into any electronic format for references. I noticed also that the layout, design, binding and paper used in each volume are all of the highest quality. This new edition of the Tipiṭaka is not just a major achievement from the point of view of Buddhist scholarship,it is also aesthetically pleasing, which is only appropriate for an edition of the sacred scriptures.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="JUSTIFY"&gt;     In our society it will be treasured and used.

specially transport the 40-volume royal gift of the World Tipitaka in Roman Script to the ceremony hall on the forth floor of the Suzzlo Library Complex. The World Tipitaka was published by the Dhamma Society in 2005 and has has been presented for the first time in the US to the University of Washington Libraries in Seattle. The special presentation is a prelude to the forthcoming World Tipitaka Presentation to leading institutions in USA following the royal gift of Tipitaka in Siam-Script Edition from King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao of Siam in 1893.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tipitaka, orally transmitted in Pali language of Indo-Arayan origin, is the sacred text of the Buddha's words which have been preserved well intact through Great Councils for over 2500 years. This is the first time that the Great International Council Manuscript "the World Edition B.E. 2500/1957" has been published in Roman script (International Phonetic Albhabet Pali, IPA Pali) in the standard 40 volumes together with support from the World Tipitaka WebService Database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This special digitial edition "the Open-Source WebService 2010" was published by Dhamma Society's World Tipitaka Project with support from the Energy Regulatory Commission of Thailand and was presented as a royal gift of Wisdom &amp;amp; Peace in collaboration of the University of Washington Alumni Association of Thailand on March 8, 2010 at the Suzzlo Library, Seattle, Washington State, USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gift of Dhamma Excels all other Gifts !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;การอัญเชิญพระไตรปิฎกสากล เพื่อมอบเป็นพระธัมมทานในสมเด็จกรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ แก่มหาวิทยาลัยวอชิงตัน นครซีแอ็ตเทิล สหรัฐอเมริกา พ.ศ. 2553&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;พระไตรปิฎกสากลอักษรโรมัน จัดพิมพ์เป็นพระธัมมทานโดย กองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุขในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯและมอบแก่สถาบันสำคัญ  ตามรอยพระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม ร.ศ.112/พ.ศ.2436&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;จดหมายเหตุ สารคดีพระไตรปิฎก โดย โครงการพระไตรปิฎกสากล ดำเนินงานโดยกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุข ท่านผู้หญิง ม.ล. มณีรัตน์ บุนนาค ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ สมเด็จพระญาณสังวร สมเด็จพระสังฆราช สกลมหาสังฆปริณายก พ.ศ. 2542-ปัจจุบัน&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1796137142581407809-3852978542478123295?l=buddhavasse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/3852978542478123295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/3852978542478123295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buddhavasse.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html' title='Univ of Washington Tipitaka Procession for Wisdom &amp; Peace'/><author><name>Buddhavasse 2500</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14934615050207320956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xWTrc5gKmbM/S6m53uqA1XI/AAAAAAAAASI/9aPSdZPgos4/S220/DhammaSocietyLogo.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796137142581407809.post-6587690457537776781</id><published>2010-03-31T04:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T04:30:18.314-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vichandara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='keyes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Professor Keyes'/><title type='text'>Univeristy of Washington Received the World Tipitaka Edition 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;University of Washington&lt;br /&gt;Keynote Speech&lt;br /&gt;by&lt;br /&gt;Professor Keyes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4478186465/" title="Untitled by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4478186465_7751f66af3_o.jpg" width="200" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VD8qwUsahTw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VD8qwUsahTw&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="285"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Your Serene Highness, Ambassador Don, Khunying Vichandara (วิจันทรา),&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Suradhaj (สุรธัช), and all members of the Thai delegation&lt;br /&gt;It is a great honor that you have come to the University of Washington to present the World Tipiṭaka to our Libraries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the link between the University and Thailand may not date back to 1895, it does have a long and significant history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010 is the hundredth anniversary of Asian Studies at the University, a field that today is under the auspices of the Jackson School of International Studies and the Department of Asian Languages and Literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thai language was first taught at the University of Washington in the 1950s under the direction of Professor Li Fang-kuei, a distinguished linguist who specialized on languages in China and Southeast Asia. The University of Washington has offered Thai instruction ever since, and is one of a handful of universities in America to have such a long record of Thai language instruction. We are fortunate to have Dr. Wiworn Kesavatana-Dohrs continuing this role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 1950s Thai students began to come to the University of Washington from Thailand for the first time. Among the first Thai to receive PhDs here were Dr. Deb Menasveta (เทพเมนะเศวต) in fisheries and Dr. Sanga Sabhsri in forestry, both of whom went on to have very distinguished careers. I know that the late Dr. Sanga would have been very pleased with this event today as he was a devout Buddhist and we are delighted that Dr. Deb is represented here today by Dr. Piamsak, his son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally decided to join the faculty of the University in 1965 because I felt confident that given the commitment to instruction in Thai and in Asian studies more generally as well as the attraction of Thai students to the university that this would be an excellent place to promote Thai studies. There have been a few ups and downs from time to time, but my early faith has clearly been realized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my long tenure at the University, I have been very fortunate to recruit, find support for and see through to completion of their PhD programs almost a dozen students from Thailand. Ajarn Amara Pongsapich, the director of the Thai Human Rights Commission and former dean of the Faculty of Political Science at Chulalongkorn University who is here today, was the first and most distinguished of this group. These luksit are the legacy of which I am most proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first came to the University I found that the Libraries already had an embryonic collection of Western language materials on Thailand. I soon realized that the Libraries staff were very receptive to building a collection in Thai language materials as well as in other languages about Thailand. In each of the extended research trips I made to Thailand from the 1960s through the 1990s, I collected many works in Thai, most of which are now in the Libraries collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the founding director of Southeast Asian studies at the University, I recognized that the development of collections on Southeast Asia, including Thailand, would be greatly enhanced if there were a position at the Libraries dedicated to this goal. We were fortunate first in receiving funding from the Luce Foundation for such a position and then even more fortunate in recruiting Dr. Judith Henchy, who has organized this event, to fill it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judith has recently secured funding from the US Department of Education for a project joint with the Maha Chakri Princess Sirindhon Center and Mahidol University’s Institute for Population and Social Research to develop a virtual archive, searchable in both Thai and English, of research materials on Thailand. Thus, the University of Washington Libraries is contributing to the development of Thai studies not only here, but also in Thailand itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see the presentation of the collection of the World Tipiṭaka here today not only as an honor for the University of Washington Libraries, but as the capstone of UW’s long connection with Thailand. ขอบคุณมากฯ ครับ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4454217085/" title="World Tipitaka Documentary 2010 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4454217085_4cd262d931_b.jpg" alt="World Tipitaka Documentary 2010" width="200" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4459143719/" title="In Search of Chulachomklao of Siam Tipitaka in USA by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="In Search of Chulachomklao of Siam Tipitaka in USA" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4459143719_594cd28724_o.jpg" width="200" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4478111073/" title="Untitled by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/4478111073_02c13bcefb_o.jpg" width="200" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4459143925/" title="Univeristy of Washington Received the World Tipitaka Edition 2010 by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4459143925_e372cd4bf3_o.jpg" alt="Univeristy of Washington Received the World Tipitaka Edition 2010" width="200" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1796137142581407809-6587690457537776781?l=buddhavasse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/6587690457537776781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/6587690457537776781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buddhavasse.blogspot.com/2010/03/univeristy-of-washington-received-world.html' title='Univeristy of Washington Received the World Tipitaka Edition 2010'/><author><name>Buddhavasse 2500</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14934615050207320956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xWTrc5gKmbM/S6m53uqA1XI/AAAAAAAAASI/9aPSdZPgos4/S220/DhammaSocietyLogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4454217085_4cd262d931_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796137142581407809.post-3808333214175859436</id><published>2010-03-25T23:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T04:35:44.239-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Human Rights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Amara Pongsapich'/><title type='text'>World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script to the University Library of the University of Washington</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xWTrc5gKmbM/S6xSVndMFJI/AAAAAAAAASw/2wEkatc3gbs/s1600/Scene-20100326180214-01-5.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Nevertheless, their efforts are very much appreciated with great respect and gratitude. The preparation involved complicated tasks, facilitated by the use of Information Technology with rigorous computer-controlled procedures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The process included:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • recitation by canonical Tipiṭaka experts,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • verification of the authenticity of the&lt;a href="http://society.worldtipitaka.info/pali-recitation/guide-to-pali-pronunciation"&gt; original manuscripts and      phonetic verification&lt;/a&gt; of every sound,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • &lt;a href="http://studies.worldtipitaka.org/content/view-and-quote"&gt;correction of printing&lt;/a&gt; errors, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • numerous proof-readings to ensure accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In addition, the project committee also made reference to all modern 18 editions of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka. The reference collection totals over 2,000 volumes and has been presented as a donation to Chulalongkorn University.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The World Tipiṭaka is considered as a Gift of Wisdom and Peace. To date, more than 40 leading international institutions in 20 countries have been presented with the gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. In 2004, the formal and final announcement of the world’s first printed set of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka Roman Script Edition was made in a special Royal Lecture for Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, who was the Royal Matriarch of the Descendents of King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao of Siam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. In 2005, the special inaugural 40-volume edition in Roman script was finally published by the Dhamma Society. These special sets were graciously presented during the same year by Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the Honorary President of the World Tipiṭaka as a Royal Gift of Wisdom &amp;amp; Peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3. In 2008, the &lt;a href="http://worldtipitaka.org/content/world-tipi%E1%B9%ADaka-project-pleased-announce-tipi%E1%B9%ADaka-personalised-edition"&gt;World Tipiṭaka WebService&lt;/a&gt; was made available on the internet as a gift of Dhamma, for institutional request. This will result in:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Eliminating the information cost of the Tipiṭaka Wisdombase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Making the Wisdom Heritage in the Tipiṭaka more accessible to a greater&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;      &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;number of people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Facilitating Tipiṭaka Studies by making the World Tipitaka Reference      available electronically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;4. In 2010, this year, the Personalized Digital Tipiṭaka Printing and the Tipiṭaka Social Networking through the World Tipiṭaka WebService will be made available. Like-minded individuals interested in Tipiṭaka Studies can be connected online to form networks. Furthermore, networking of Tipiṭaka study groups can also be made possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Human Rights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In terms of Human Rights, the new initiative in Tipiṭaka Studies, which allows electronic access to the 40-volume Roman Script Edition will enable scholars and practitioners to explore the teachings on specific topics more deeply. Each person will be able to retrieve, examine, and make interpretations freely and at one’s own pace. I would like to discuss two topics related to Human Rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. Rights and Justice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. Since, knowledge can be access th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;rough self actualization without domination; therefore, the interpretation of what is “right” and what is “just” can be made individually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. “Righteousness and Justice for one” and “Righteousness and Justice for all” then become fundamental ethical values of individuals and society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3. Interpretation of human relationship between individual inner life process and social values can be made through personal experience in the course of realizing of the true self in one’s own way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;4.  Conscious concern for social and ethical values can be realized and  practiced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. Freedom, Equality and Democracy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. Freedom. The principle of relying on oneself is the essence of each individual’s virtue. Hence one has freedom to choose one’s own interpretation and one’s own destiny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. Equality. The emphasis on one’s inner life puts unqualified faith on the quality of oneselves which are all the same with no distinction as to class, race, and gender.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3. Democracy. This term puts focus on the “demo” which concerns people and/or citizen. In the Tipiṭaka, the term is dhamma-cracy which puts the concern on Righteousness and Justice. Hence the emphasis is on the essence or quality not on the citizen and the rulers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Finally, I would like to end my remark by expressing my appreciation to the Library of the University of Washington in making this occasion possible for the benefit of humanity of this generation and future generations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="RIGHT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;March 8th

Nevertheless, their efforts are very much appreciated with great respect and gratitude. The preparation involved complicated tasks, facilitated by the use of Information Technology with rigorous computer-controlled procedures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The process included:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • recitation by canonical Tipiṭaka experts,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • verification of the authenticity of the&lt;a href="http://society.worldtipitaka.info/pali-recitation/guide-to-pali-pronunciation"&gt; original manuscripts and      phonetic verification&lt;/a&gt; of every sound,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • &lt;a href="http://studies.worldtipitaka.org/content/view-and-quote"&gt;correction of printing&lt;/a&gt; errors, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; • numerous proof-readings to ensure accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In addition, the project committee also made reference to all modern 18 editions of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka. The reference collection totals over 2,000 volumes and has been presented as a donation to Chulalongkorn University.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The World Tipiṭaka is considered as a Gift of Wisdom and Peace. To date, more than 40 leading international institutions in 20 countries have been presented with the gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. In 2004, the formal and final announcement of the world’s first printed set of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka Roman Script Edition was made in a special Royal Lecture for Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, who was the Royal Matriarch of the Descendents of King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao of Siam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. In 2005, the special inaugural 40-volume edition in Roman script was finally published by the Dhamma Society. These special sets were graciously presented during the same year by Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the Honorary President of the World Tipiṭaka as a Royal Gift of Wisdom &amp;amp; Peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3. In 2008, the &lt;a href="http://worldtipitaka.org/content/world-tipi%E1%B9%ADaka-project-pleased-announce-tipi%E1%B9%ADaka-personalised-edition"&gt;World Tipiṭaka WebService&lt;/a&gt; was made available on the internet as a gift of Dhamma, for institutional request. This will result in:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Eliminating the information cost of the Tipiṭaka Wisdombase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Making the Wisdom Heritage in the Tipiṭaka more accessible to a greater&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;      &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;number of people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;    &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;* Facilitating Tipiṭaka Studies by making the World Tipitaka Reference      available electronically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;4. In 2010, this year, the Personalized Digital Tipiṭaka Printing and the Tipiṭaka Social Networking through the World Tipiṭaka WebService will be made available. Like-minded individuals interested in Tipiṭaka Studies can be connected online to form networks. Furthermore, networking of Tipiṭaka study groups can also be made possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Human Rights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In terms of Human Rights, the new initiative in Tipiṭaka Studies, which allows electronic access to the 40-volume Roman Script Edition will enable scholars and practitioners to explore the teachings on specific topics more deeply. Each person will be able to retrieve, examine, and make interpretations freely and at one’s own pace. I would like to discuss two topics related to Human Rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1. Rights and Justice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1.  Since, knowledge can be access through self actualization without  domination; therefore, the interpretation of what is “right” and what is   “just” can be made individually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2.  “Righteousness and Justice for one” and “Righteousness and Justice for   all” then become fundamental ethical values of individuals and society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3.  Interpretation of human relationship between individual inner life     process and social values can be made through personal experience in the  course of realizing of the true self in one’s own way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;4.  Conscious concern for social and ethical values can be realized and  practiced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2. Freedom, Equality and Democracy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1.  Freedom. The principle of relying on oneself is the essence of each  individual’s virtue. Hence one has freedom to choose one’s own  interpretation and one’s own destiny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2.  Equality. The emphasis on one’s inner life puts unqualified faith on the  quality of oneselves which are all the same with no distinction as to  class, race, and gender.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;3.  Democracy. This term puts focus on the “demo” which concerns people  and/or citizen. In the Tipiṭaka, the term is dhamma-cracy which puts  the concern on Righteousness and Justice. Hence the emphasis is on the  essence or quality not on the citizen and the rulers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Finally, I would like to end my remark by expressing my appreciation to the Library of the University of Washington in making this occasion possible for the benefit of humanity of this generation and future generations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="RIGHT"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;March 8th

แต่ในประวัติศาสตร์ ในช่วงปี 2436 นับว่าเป็นช่วงเวลาที่สำคัญอย่างยิ่งต่อความมั่นคงของชาติ เพราะขณะนั้นประเทศในเอเชียส่วนใหญ่ได้ตกเป็นเมืองขึ้นของมหาอำนาจตะวันตก ส่วนประเทศไทยก็กำลังเผชิญวิกฤตการณ์ร้ายแ

ชุด 40 เล่ม ที่พิมพ์ขึ้นเป็นพิเศษในปี พ.ศ. 2552 นี้ เป็นการจัดพิมพ์ตามรอย &lt;a href="http://hall.worldtipitaka.org/chulachomklao" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;พระไตรปิฎก จปร. อักษรสยาม&lt;/a&gt; ในสมัยรัชกาลที่ 5 &lt;/span&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;       เมื่อ 116 ปีมาแล้ว พระบาทสมเด็จพระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว ได้โปรดให้เสนาบดีกระทรวงกลาโหมเป็นประธานในการจัดพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎก ภาษาปาฬิ    (เดิมเรียก บาลี) เป็นฉบับพิมพ์เป็นชุดเป็นครั้งแรก ปัจจุบันอาจดูว่าการพิมพ์หนังสือพระไตรปิฎกเป็นเรื่องธรรมดา แต่ในบริบทประวัติศาสตร์ ร.ศ. 112 (พ.ศ. 2436) นับเป็นช่วงเวลาที่สำคัญอย่างยิ่งยวดต่อความมั่นคงแห่งชาติ เพราะขณะนั้นประเทศในเอเซียส่วนใหญ่ ได้ตกเป็นเมืองขึ้นของมหาอำนาจตะวันตกส่วนที่เหลือ เช่น กรุงสยาม ก็กำลังเผชิญวิกฤตการณ์ร้ายแรงของการล่าอาณานิคมจากตะวันตก&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;    การที่พระบาทสมเด็จพระจุลจอมเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว ได้พระราชทานพระไตรปิฎก จปร. ชุดนี้ไปทั่วกรุงสยาม ในยุคที่ชาติมีวิกฤติทางการเมืองระหว่างประเทศ อาจกล่าวได้ว่า เป็นการสร้างขวัญของความสมัครสมานร่วมใจกันในทางธัมมะ อันเป็นยุทธศาสตร์และจิตวิทยาอันชาญฉลาด ในการรักษาเอกราชสยามด้วยขันติธัมม์และปัญญา เพราะต่อมาข้อขัดแย้งระหว่างไทยกับตะวันตกก็ยุติด้วยการเจรจา ในปี พ.ศ. 2436 (ร.ศ. 112) ซึ่งเป็นปีที่จัดพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎกอักษรสยามสำเร็จพอดี หลังจากที่ดำเนินจัดสร้างมานานกว่า 6 ปี&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;     นอกจากนี้การพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎก จปร. ปัจจุบันยังถือเป็นการพิมพ์ที่เป็นเลิศ และเป็นชุดหนังสือครั้งแรกของโลก การพิมพ์พระไตรปิฎกภาษาปาฬิด้วยอักษรสยามแทนอักษรขอมโบราณ เป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงทางวัฒนธรรมที่สำคัญยิ่งในประวัติศาสตร์ภูมิปัญญา&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p face="arial" style="margin-bottom: 0in;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;The presentation of this International Romanised  Pāḷi Tipiṭaka also marks the Celebrations of Her Royal Highness' 84&lt;sup&gt;th  &lt;/sup&gt;Birthday Anniversary, November 24, 2009.As a unique meritorious act for the occasion, Princess Bejaratana decides to follow the publication of the Tipiṭaka in Siam-script edition by her grandfather, His Majesty King Chulalongkorn, who in 1893 had the  Pāḷi Tipiṭaka printed in book form for the first time in the world. One set of these historical printings was presented to and subsequently has been well-preserved here at the library of the University of Oslo. This presentation is to join a meritorious act of Her Royal Highness's late cousin, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, who presented a special inauguration 40-volume  Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman-script edition to leading institutions worldwide in 2005 as well. Once informed of that, Her Royal Highness approved her staff's recommendation to present the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman-script edition to the university to complement their Siam-script edition. With this act, Princess Bejaratana humbly follows her grandfather's dedication to promote studies of Buddhism, one of the most profound wisdom of the East, among scholars of the Western world. The Princess hopes that the merits of this International Tipiṭaka  printing and presentation will lay for us the foundation for mutual understanding and sustainable harmony of humankind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;If should be noted that His Majesty King Rama VI, Princess Bejaratana's august Father, encouraged the use of the Roman-Script in accordance with the  Pāḷi-sound nearly a century ago. Resulting in this 40-volume publication.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;On behalf of Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana, I present the  Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman-script to the University of Oslo as a token of friendship between Thais  and Nowegians. May the marits of the World  Tipiṭaka printing and the persentation bring wisdom, prosperity and life-long happiness to the people of the world, now and always.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

One set of these historical printings were presented to and subsequently has been well-preserved here at the University of Oslo Library.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this presentation is to join a meritorious act of Her Royal Highness's late cousin, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, who in 2005 presented a special inauguration 40-volume Tipiṭaka in roman-script edition to leading institutions worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once informed of that Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana, approved her staff's recommendation to present the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman Script-edition to the University of Oslo Library to complement the Siam-script edition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this act, Princess Bejaratana humbly follows her grandfather's dedication to promote studies of Tipiṭaka, one of the most profound wisdom of the East, among scholars of the Western world. The Princess hopes that the merits of this International Tipiṭaka printing and presentation will lay for us the foundation for mutual understanding and sustainable harmony of humankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Tipiṭaka Edition is published as a gift of Dhamma by Dhamma Society Thailand with the late HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana as its Honorary Patron. The Presentation of the World Tipiṭaka Project is also supported by NCNK Foundation under the Queen's Patronage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="javascript:void(0);" /&gt; &lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3519/4074639612_aa5358f9e1_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3519/4074639612_aa5358f9e1_o.jpg" border="0" height="150" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Speech by&lt;br /&gt;Director of the Library of Humanities and Social Sciences, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4074639612/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Mr Halvor Konghavn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Excellency, dear guests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me introduce myself : My name is Halvor Kongshavn, I am the Library Director of the Library of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Oslo Library.

The Tipitaka in a roman transcript version is of immense value for the study of Buddhism as it is the only completely surviving early Buddhist canon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to say a few words about the University of Oslo Library. It is Norway’s largest research library. Hence, it is of great importance not only for the University of Oslo, but for all Norway. Our collections go back to when the University was established in 1811. Currently, they comprise several million volumes. Additionally, we own a constantly growing number of electronic documents. This year we are celebrating our tenth anniversary in this building - the most beautiful one on the University of Oslo Campus – and which we are very proud of. It was a pleasure for me to give you a tour of the library prior to this event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Library represents an important part of the University of Oslo’s academic and pedagogic activities. Primarily, our users are the university’s students, scholars and employees. However, we are a public library where everybody is welcome. We can provide documents and competence within a wide array of academic areas, for example the study of languages, traditions, cultures and religions – including Buddhism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4071036942_facc8d4448_b%282%29.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257348697604/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4071036942_facc8d4448_b%282%29.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070273531_e5ec3dac4c_b%282%29.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257348137440/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070273531_e5ec3dac4c_b%282%29.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070365715_ee7ff84522_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257349393956/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070365715_ee7ff84522_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070269107_649af66cb1_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257348975620/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070269107_649af66cb1_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; In the late 19th century, on the occasion of his 25th anniversary as the regent of Siam, &lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/"&gt;King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao ordered a printed version of the Tipitaka&lt;/a&gt;. Until then, it had existed for about two thousand years on palm leaves only. In 1896 the King donated the book, comprising of 39 volumes, to this library as a royal gift. We have always been very proud owners of this work, especially since it was printed in a very limited edition. As the volumes are now quite old, and very rare, they have been stored in our security stacks with limited access only. However, we are pleased to be able to present them to the public here today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; And we are even more happy to be able to present the Tipitaka to our users in a new edition, not only in a printed, romanized-script version, but also electronically via the Dhamma Society’s web page. As the largest university library in Norway we will now be the owners of different presentations of a text of great importance to millions of people all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1949, the British library philosopher A. Broadfield stated that the library exists for the sake of freedom of thought. Books are far the strongest safeguards of freedom of individual thought. He concluded : “The librarian's task is clear. He should keep thought free and fluid -- his own thought and all other thought that comes within his province”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt; &lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070365159_b56d237024_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257350073210/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070365159_b56d237024_b.JPG?height=200&amp;amp;width=150" border="0" height="200" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself would like to add the following to Broadfield’s wise words: No library, no academia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; I would also like to repeat some of our prorector’s thoughts: We could all benefit from looking into new ways of reviving the once so fruitful interaction between the east and the west. By receiving the Tipitaka – and also by receiving you and your delegation here – the library has taken part in such an interaction. We promise you we will take good care of your generous gift, in the same way as we always have done with the first edition. It will be classified, catalogued and labeled according to the best library customs, and will then be presented to our users together with the rest of our literature related to the study of Buddhism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; On behalf of the Oslo University Library, our most sincere gratitude to the Dhamma Society and to Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana of Thailand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; I will now give the floor to the President of the Norwegian Buddhist Association and Patron of the World Tipitaka, Mr Egil Lothe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070241867_e72f90ca2a_b%282%29.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257347743176/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070241867_e72f90ca2a_b%282%29.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Speech of thanks from UiO’s &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/4073881221/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Pro-rector  Inga Bostad&lt;/a&gt; to Thailand’s delegation&lt;br /&gt;at the presentation of the 40 volume Tipitaka.&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oslo University Library, Nov. 2, 2009.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;Dear Excellency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;On behalf of the University of Oslo,  I am very pleased and honored to receive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; the generous and important  gift that the Tipitaka represents. The Romanized version that you have  given us today complements the original edition, which due to its old  age is safely preserved here in the library’s stacks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;We have learned that the 40-volume  set of the Tipitaka is a royal gift of wisdom and peace. You can be  sure the books are received by an institution with strong traditions  within the study of world religions and philosophies. Among others,  the study of religion in a multicultural society is a focus area at  the University of Oslo. For many years our scholars have participated  in establishing interreligious dialogues both in academia and the society  at large. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;We all know the important role that  Buddhism plays in Asia, also politically. In the same way as the Evangelical-Lutheran  religion is the official religion of Norway, Buddhism is Thailand’s  state religion, with about 95% of the Thais as its followers. Historically,  Thailand and the surrounding geographical areas have fostered a distinct  Buddhist culture and art that still remain very active. The beautiful  version that we have received from you of the Tipitaka - the earliest  collection of Buddhist writings – is a result of these incredibly  rich artistic expressions. I am certain that the books will prove invaluable  to our students and scholars in their effort to interpret and analyze  religious texts, rituals, traditions and statements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/3839315320_8ee26b0479_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257353038902/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/3839315320_8ee26b0479_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4069267911_2f6abaf86d_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257775769169/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4069267911_2f6abaf86d_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070007689_63b8e7ce7d_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257352455134/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070007689_63b8e7ce7d_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257352542686/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070819862_ccc0b73af1_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The University of Oslo is proud to  be able to offer a wide array of academic disciplines to our students.  We put a lot of emphasis on providing them with a broad general education  that tie different fields of study together. In order to secure their  academic development and maturity, we believe that it is important that  for example students of natural sciences also receive input from the  humanities or social sciences, and vice versa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Almost ever since the University of  Oslo was founded, all the students &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;have had to do a semester of preparatory  courses that evolve around different aspects of philosophy and the history  of ideas. This system was copied by the other public universities that  were later founded in different parts of Norway. Even though the courses  focus mostly on occidental philosophy, connecting lines are also drawn  to oriental thinking and philosophy. A philosopher myself, I have always  been fascinated by the junctions between the East and the West, and  the non-Western traditions of philosophy.  In a poetical way we  may say that since the earliest human recollection, the East, following  the sun, searched the West for something, &lt;u&gt;which&lt;/u&gt; at the same time  the West, facing the sun, hoped to find in the East.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Buddhism is considered one of the great  world religions. The Buddhist path can be summed up as: 1) to lead a  moral life; 2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions; and  3) to develop wisdom and understanding. To many, the essence of Buddhism  therefore goes beyond the regular concept of religion. Buddhism is considered  more of a philosophy or 'way of life', especially if we keep in mind  that the word philosophy literally means 'love of wisdom'. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;When encountering other religions and  beliefs we are challenged to explore our own faith and traditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Of  all religions, Buddhism seems to be one of the most respected and less  criticized, both in Norway as in the rest of the Western world. It might  be easier for people raised in a Christian culture to identify with  Buddha, the enlightened founder of Buddhism, since his origin, in the  same way as Jesus Christ’s, also was as a real, living person. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The former Bishop of Oslo, Gunnar Stålsett,  met Dalai Lama when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Price. They were  both asked to describe what they thought was the most precious thing  in the other’s religion.  Dalai Lama answered that he cherished  the Christian God as a being that cares so much about each of us that  he is even willing to die for us.  Bishop Stålsett, on his side,  emphasized Buddhism’s appreciation and respect for any form of life.  Perhaps this is one of the reasons for Buddhism’s increasing appeal  to Western people, especially those looking for peaceful solutions to  wars and conflicts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In an era marked by wars and economic  recession perhaps we all would benefit from looking into new ways of  reviving the once so fruitful interaction between the east and the west.  There is a huge potential for reciprocal “alphabetization” between  the cultures of the orient and the occident, as part of a renewal of  a much needed intercultural dialogue. The new edition of the Tipitaka  will provide students and scholars of the academic disciplines involved  in these matters with an invaluable source of inspiration. In the true  spirit of the gift’s intentions, let’s hope that will bring both  them and us some peace and wisdom !  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;font-family:Calibri;font-size:85%;"  &gt;On behalf of the University of Oslo,  please extend our most sincere gratitude to the Dhamma Society and Her  Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana of Thailand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;font-family:Calibri;font-size:85%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;font-family:Calibri;font-size:85%;"  &gt; Thank you !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/MrEgil%20logthe.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257775921947/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/MrEgil%20logthe.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;Mr Egil Logthe,&lt;br /&gt; President of Buddhist Federation of Norway 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Excellencies&lt;br /&gt;Ladies  and gentlemen&lt;br /&gt;Friends    &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;In 1893 the complete collection of the Buddhist canonical scriptures in the Pali language was printed in Bangkok on the order of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao, the fifth reigning monarch of the Chakri dynasty of Thailand. This was the first time in history that the Tipitaka was made available in modern book format. His Majesty King Chulalongkorn furthermore chose to make the sacred scriptures of Buddhism a symbol of friendship with the world by donating the 39 volumes of the Tipitaka to seats of learning all over the world. One of the seats of learning was the University of Christiania as our capital was named at that time. They are symbols of King Chulalongkorn’s vision of his country becoming a part of the global community of nations. They are also symbols of how the first connections were established between our two countries. These connections were further confirmed when King Chulalongkorn himself visited Norway during the summer of 1907.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;Today the University of Oslo is receiving a new set of the Tipitaka from King Chulalongkorn’s granddaughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Bejaratana on the occasion of her 84&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Birthday Anniversary. The designated representative of the Princess, Her Excellency Thanphuying Putrie Viravaidaya, have come to Oslo accompanied by a delegation from The Dhamma Society of Thailand to present a set of the 40 volumes of the Pali Tipitaka printed in Roman letters.

At this council 2500 prominent scholar monks from all the countries of Theravada Buddhism collated existing editions and prepared a new edition of the whole Tipitaka usually referred to as the Sixth Council Edition or the International Edition. Its great significance lies in the fact that it is not only a monumental achievement of classical Theravada scholarship but also because it has th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"&gt;e position of being the edition most broadly authorized by the religious hierarchy of Theravada Buddhism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070987910_c6b9f2028c_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257780567501/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070987910_c6b9f2028c_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4071099990_27af98b78e_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257778431472/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4071099990_27af98b78e_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070225257_5d153b449f_b%282%29.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257781134133/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070225257_5d153b449f_b%282%29.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070221551_5b250a58a7_b.JPG?attredirects=0" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.info/_/rsrc/1257780537976/endownment-worldtipitaka/worldtipitaka-presentation/the-world-tipitaka-presentation-to-university-of-oslo-2009/4070221551_5b250a58a7_b.JPG?height=140&amp;amp;width=180" border="0" height="140" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhamma" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;Dhamma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt; Society of Thailand has taken painstaking efforts in proofreading the available electronic and printed versions of th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;e International Edition to ensure the highest level of accuracy of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The World Tipi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;ṭ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;aka Edition in Roman script. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;The printed version in 40 v&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;olumes was completed in 2005.

The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhamma" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;Dhamma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt; Society has since presented &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The World Tipi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;ṭ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;aka Edition in Roman script to selected institutions in various countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Pali canon represents the only canonical collection of Buddhism that has been preserved complete in its original linguistic form. It is thus of immense historical significance in the context of the study of Buddhism of the Theravada school specifically as well as Buddhism generally. It is also of great importance as a rich source of knowledge about Indian society and culture as it was about two and a half millennia ago. But even more than that, the Tipitaka as the sacred scriptures of Buddhism remains the foundation for the Buddhist cultures of Asia. Knowledge of the Tipitaka is thus essential in order to fully understand these cultures. Also as expressions of ethical and spiritual values held dear by a significant section of humanity it is one of the pillars of our common world civilization. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;For these reasons the Tipitaka needs to be known. The academic world has in our opinion an important role to play in exploring our common human heritage and in conveying knowledge about the sources of our global civilization. Presenting The World Tipi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;ṭ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;aka Edition in Roman script is the humble contribution of this delegation.  It is also an expression of our appreciation for the achievements of the University of Oslo in the study of the Buddhist heritage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;texts of the Tipitaka are also reaching a broader audience in this country through translations into Norwegian. Graduates from this university have recently compiled a book with translations from Pali into Norwegian of a broad selection of texts from the Tipitaka. Published by the Buddhist Federation of Norway it will be distributed as a representative collection of canonical Buddhist scriptures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial,sans-serif;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Dhamma Society&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; will continue its activities of presenting The World Tipi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;ṭ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;aka Edition in Roman script to seats of learning. Next year it will go to Beijing and to Washington DC for this purpose. But it need be said that the appreciation showed by the University of Oslo is a great inspiration in our work. Also we would celebrate the fact that with the presentation of The World Tipi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;ṭ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="en"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;aka here today the presentation of the Tipitaka by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;His Majesty King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao 113 years ago has come full circle.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/sets/72157622598026823/" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;code&gt;See more archive pictures&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1796137142581407809-5778921953750763182?l=buddhavasse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/5778921953750763182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/5778921953750763182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buddhavasse.blogspot.com/2009/11/tipitaka-to-university-of-oslo-2009.html' title='Tipiṭaka to University of Oslo 2009'/><author><name>Buddhavasse 2500</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14934615050207320956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xWTrc5gKmbM/S6m53uqA1XI/AAAAAAAAASI/9aPSdZPgos4/S220/DhammaSocietyLogo.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796137142581407809.post-1673196402092506335</id><published>2009-07-28T01:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T05:38:00.752-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The 40-volume World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script has been enshrined at the SIBA in Kandy.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3253/3045991390_a289fd3f25_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Tipiṭaka at the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of the inauguration of the Sri Lanka International Buddhist Academy (SIBA), the Royal Gift of the World Tipiṭaka Edition in Roman Script from Thailand was ceremoniously enshrined at the SIBA Library by H.E.

The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, better known as Sri Dalada Maligawa in Sinhala, the local language, is the most venerated Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. It is here that the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha is enshrined. The Temple is famous for its carvings and beautiful paintings that are unique to Sri Lanka. The most important part of the Sri Dalada Maligawa, the octagon (called Pattirippuwa), built by the last King of Sri Lanka is today the Tipiṭaka Hall of the old palace complex. Thousands of people line up every day to venerate this Temple and have a glimpse of its majesty. The new Academy &lt;a href="http://www.siba.lk/"&gt;www.siba.lk&lt;/a&gt; acquires its singular significance and uniqueness particularly among Sri Lankans and Buddhists in general due to its association with the Sri Dalada Maligawa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/3765295296_6c7d8e341b_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Academy is located within the precincts of the Buddhist Training and Research Centre of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic situated eight kilometers away from the city of Kandy in a peaceful natural environment surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges of the Kandy region which is blessed with a salubrious climate. It can be reached from Colombo, the capital city, by road or rail within about three and a half to four hours. The travel time between the International Airport, Katunayake and the city of Kandy by road is about two to two and a half hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 183px; height: 141px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/3764502843_a61c84c7f6_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 184px; height: 142px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2638/3764504183_c84d9e7a0c_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 184px; height: 138px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3632/3764500537_199bb62c5d_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 184px; height: 140px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3765300258_00cd4d0a45_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The World Tipiṭaka Edition in 40 volumes was published by the Dhamma Society Fund in Bangkok in 2002.

The World Tipiṭaka Presentation to the SIBA this year was announced earlier in 2008 at the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand in Bangkok, the first institutional recipient of the World Tipiṭaka.

Since 2005, it has been presented to leading international institutions worldwide as a royal gift of Dhamma from Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the Project Founding Honorary President and Royal Patron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On November 14, 2008, the eve of the State Funeral of Princess Galyani Vadhana, a formal announcement of the World Tipiṭaka Presentation was organised by H.E. Justice Chat Chonlavorn, President of the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand in Bangkok. Professor Won K. Seok, Director Dongguk University Library from Seoul, Republic of Korea, attended the ceremony.  As a merit-making for the late Princess Patron, ten international institutions from ten countries worldwide, including Dongguk University of the Republic of Korea, were nominated by the World Tipiṭaka Council of Sri Lanka to receive this commemorative 40-volume set of the World Tipiṭaka Edition in Roman Script.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This year in 2009, upon the invitation of President Oh Yong-kyo of Dongguk University, Professor Annop Kunavongkrit, President of the World Tipiṭaka Council, led a special 20-member delegation from Bangkok to Seoul. The Handing-over and the Celebration  Ceremony of the World Tipiṭaka Enshrinement took place on April 23, 2009 at Dongguk University Campus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/3468239030/in/set-72157617423290258/"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3562/3468239030_c4157aba7d_m.jpg" alt=" " width="180" height="135" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The 40-volume World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script &lt;br /&gt;during the Handing-over and the Celebration Ceremony at Dongguk University &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dongguk was one of the largest and leading private universities in Korea. It is the first higher learning institution in the Republic of Korea to have received the Royal Gift from the late Princess Matriarch of Thailand. This special gift will help Tipiṭaka Patrons of the two countries to closely collaborate on the study and the propogation of  Wisdom in the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, i.e., the printing of the World Tipiṭaka in Roman script, especially the latest &amp;amp;quot;Personalised Printing Technology&amp;amp;quot; for wider distribution as a gift of Dhamma both in Korea and abroad.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dhamma Society is now planning for the handing-over of the royal gift to all the institutions which were nominated to receive the Roman-script edition last year.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The World Tipiṭaka Project is grateful to Princess Galyani Vadhana&amp;#39;s Endowment Project and THAI International Airways &amp;amp;quot;Miles for Merit&amp;amp;quot; for the publication and the transportation of the Royal Gift of the World Tipiṭaka from Bangkok to Seoul.  Equally heartfelt thanks go to THAI International Airways Royal Orchid Plus Members from all over the world who have donated their mileages to make it possible to bring the World Tipiṭaka to its destination in the Repubic of Korea.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="right"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://society.worldtipitaka.org/mds/content/view/27/41/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/3484578269_049a8d8e5e_t.jpg" alt="" width="19" height="36" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3487664601_824ba832e6_m.jpg" alt="" width="109" height="163" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div align="center"&gt; Royal Message &lt;br /&gt;Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra &lt;br /&gt;Honorary President of the World Tipiṭaka Presentation to Leading Institutions Worldwide and Royal Patron&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;table border="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="center"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3652/3467424651_83d4feeba7_m.jpg" alt=" " width="160" height="120" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was read at the World Tipiṭaka Handing-over Ceremony for Dongguk University and the Celebration of the World Tipiṭaka Enshrinement &lt;br /&gt;by Professor Annop Kunavongkrit, Ph.D, D.V.M, President of the World Tipiṭaka Council &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify"&gt; I am delighted and profoundly honoured to present a special inauguration 40-volume Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman-script edition to leading institutions worldwide. This occasion is especially meaningful because this publication is the world&amp;rsquo;s first International Romanised Pāḷi Tipiṭaka -- from the only &lt;a href="http://society.worldtipitaka.org/mds/content/view/122/36/1/2/"&gt;Great International Council,&lt;/a&gt; convened by 2,500 Theravāda Buddhist monks in the Buddhist Era 2500 or 1956 A.D. It is, therefore, a Heritage of Humanity Enlightenment which has been preserved for over 2500 years.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The three inaugural Pāḷi Tipiṭaka edtions were published in 2005 by the Dhamma Society under the Patronage of the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand. The first inaugural edition was presented to the people of Sri Lanka on March 6, 2005. I went on a Pilgrimage to Colombo upon the invitation of the President of Sri Lanka for the presentation of the special edition which is now preserved at the Presidential Mansion in Colombo. The special edition for the Kingdom of Thailand was presented to the people of Thailand on August 15, 2005 and is now preserved at the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand in Bangkok. The special edition for the western world was presented on September 13, 2005 to the Kingdom of Sweden and is now preserved at the Uppsala University Library.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The presentation of the International Romanised Pāḷi Tipiṭaka is a meritorious act following the publication of the Tipiṭaka in Siam-script edition by my Grandfather, King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao of Siam, who in 1893 had the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka printed in book form for the first time in the world. Over two hundred and sixty of these sets were presented to leading institutions worldwide. In Sri Lanka and Sweden, one set of these historic printings &amp;ldquo;Chulachomklao the Great of Siam Pāḷi Tipiṭaka&amp;rdquo; has been well-preserved both in the temple of the Holy Tooth Relics in Kandy and at the Carolina Rediviva in Uppsala.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; After this inauguration, one thousand sets will be presented as a donation to leading institutions worldwide. Furthermore, the International Tipiṭaka Studies will be initiated as an integral part of the presentation. The International Tipiṭaka Studies in these leading institutions will integrate the wisdom-base in the Tipiṭaka with the knowledge-base of the world today. It is hoped that the integration and right understanding of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka will ensure sustainable peace, as well as lasting security for the international community today.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; May the merits of the International Tipiṭaka printing and the presentation bring  wisdom, life-long happiness and prosperity to the people of the world, now and always.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="right"&gt;

Norway News  &lt;br /&gt;Thai Airways Donates Air-miles to Norwegian Buddhists&lt;br /&gt;By Sarah Mia Haagerup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Tipiṭaka Edition, 40-volume Romanised edition of the 25-century old teaching of the Buddhist Theravāda tradition in the orthodox and original Pāḷi language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thai Airways has recently offered 3.9 million air-miles to HRH, the late Princess Galyani Vadhana's Tipiṭaka Endowment Project. The donated miles will be used to transport a 40-volume set of sacred Buddhist scriptures (The World Tipiṭaka Edition) to The Buddhist Federation of Norway. The scriptures are in Roman script, and were given, as a royal gift of wisdom and peace from Thailand, to The Buddhist Federation of Norway last year in connection with the funeral of Princess Galyani Vadhana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scriptures, which have been produced especially for The Buddhist Federation of Norway, will physically be handed over at a ceremony on the 17th of August in the Royal Thai Embassy in Oslo by representatives from the Dhamma Society -- a charitable organisation in the Buddhist Theravāda Tradition, founded in 1997.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the president of The Buddhist Federation of Norway, Egil Lothe, the scriptures have a practical and symbolic significance to those who practice Buddhism in Norway. He adds: “The gift is a great encouragement and acknowledgement of our efforts in this organisation.”   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1999 the Dhamma Society Fund has undertaken the publication of the Tipiṭaka in Roman Script, the World Edition. In 2005, the printing project was finally completed and was published in 40 volumes as a homage to the Buddha and in honour of the Buddhist Sovereign Monarchy of Thailand. For an inaugural presentation, HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana, as Honorary President and Royal Patron, led a historic 24-hour Pilgrimage by a special flight from Bangkok to Colombo to present the special inaugural edition as a royal gift of Dhamma to the President of Sri Lanka on March 6, 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also Sweden received a special World Tipiṭaka Edition in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scandasia.com/viewNews.php?coun_code=th&amp;amp;news_id=5644" rel="nofollow"&gt;สแกนเอเซีย&lt;/a&gt;.  -- นอรเวย์นิวส์&lt;br /&gt;การบินไทยมอบไมล์สะสมสำหรับชาวพุทธนอรเวย์ &lt;br /&gt;เขียนโดย ซาร่า มิอา หาเกรับ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;พระไตรปิฎกสากล ชุด 40 เล่ม อักษรโรมัน (World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script Edition) จัดพิมพ์์ขึ้นจากคําสอนเก่าแก่ 25 ศตวรรษ ในพระพุทธศาสนาฝ่ายเถรวาทที่สืบทอดมาโดยเที่ยงตรงเป็นภาษาปาฬิ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;เมื่อเร็วๆ นี้ บริษัทการบินไทย จํากัด (มหาชน) ได้มอบไมล์สะสม 3.9 ไมล์ แก่โครงการเผยแผ่ พระไตรปิฎกสากล ในสมเด็จกรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ (มูลนิธิร่วมจิตต์ฯ น้อมเกล้า เพื่อเยาวชน ในพระบรมราชินูปถัมภ์). ไมล์สะสมที่รับบริจาคนี้จะนําไปใช้ในการอัญเชิญคัมภีร์ ในพระพุทธศาสนา ชุด 40 เล่ม (พระไตรปิฎกสากล) เป็นพระธัมมทานแห่งปัญญาและสันติสุข จากสมเด็จพระเจ้าพี่นางเธอ เจ้าฟ้ากัลยาณิวัฒนา กรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ มอบแก่สหพันธ์พระพุทธศาสนาแห่งนอรเวย์ ซึ่งเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการงานบําเพ็ญกุศลงานพระเมรุ ในสมเด็จกรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ เมื่อปีที่แล้ว&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;พระไตรปิฎกสากลชุดนี้ได้จัดพิมพ์ขึ้นเป็นพิเศษแก่สหพันธ์พุทธศาสนาแห่งนอรเวย์ และจะมีพิธี จัดมอบอย่างเป็นทางการในที่สถานทูตไทย ณ กรุงออสโล โดยผู้แทนกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นําสุขฯ ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯ ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรกุศลในพระพุทธศาสนาเถรวาท ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี พ.ศ. 2542&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;มร. อีจิล โลเท่ (President Egil Lothe), ประธานสหพันธ์พุทธศาสนาแห่งนอรเวย์ (The Buddhist Federation of Norway) ได้กล่าวว่าพระไตรปิฎกชุดนี้มีความหมาย  ในทั้งในเชิงปฏิบัติที่เป็นจริงและในด้านสัญลักษณ์แก่ผู้ที่ปฎิบัติตามหลักพระพุทธศาสนาในประเทศนอรเวย์ “พระธัมมทานนี้เป็นกําลังใจและเครื่องหมายแห่งความอุตสาหะพยายามขององค์กรเรา”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;นับแต่ปี พ.ศ. 2542 เป็นต้นมา กองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นําสุขฯ ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ฯ ได้ดําเนินโครงการ พระไตรปิฎกภาษาปาฬิ โดยจัดพิมพ์เป็นอักษรโรมัน เรียกว่า พระไตรปิฎกฉบับสากล (The World Tipiṭaka Edition) การดําเนินงานได้สําเร็จในปี พ.ศ. 2548 โดยจัดพิมพ์ ชุดละ 40 เล่ม เพื่อถวายเป็นพุทธบูชา และเฉลิมพระเกียรติพระมหากษัตริย์พุทธมามกะไทย โดยมีสมเด็จพระเจ้าพี่นางเธอ เจ้าฟ้ากัลยาณิวัฒนา กรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ ในฐานะผู้ทรงเป็นประธานกิตติศักดิ์ และองค์อุปถัมภ์ เสด็จจาริกภายในเวลา 24 ชม โดยสายการบินเที่ยวพิเศษจากกรุงเทพสู่กรุงโคลัมโบ อัญเชิญพระไตรปิฎกเป็นพระธัมมทานไปพระราชทานแก่ประธานาธิบดีแห่งศรีลังกา เมื่อวันที่ 6 มีนาคม พ.ศ. 2548.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ในปี พ.ศ. 2548 ประเทศสวีเดนก็ได้รับพระราชทานพระไตรปิฎกสากลด้วย&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;จดหมายเหตุพระไตรปิฎกสากล อักษรโรมัน ดำเนินงานโดยกองทุนสนทนาธัมม์นำสุข ท่านผู้หญิง ม.ล.มณีรัตน์ บุนนาค ในพระสังฆราชูปถัมภ์ สมเด็จพระญาณสังวร สมเด็จพระสังฆราช สกลมหาสังฆปริณายกพ.ศ. 2542-2552.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;สนับสนุนโดยโครงการสมทบกองทุนเผยแผ่พระไตรปิฎกสากลในสมเด็จกรมหลวงนราธิวาสราชนครินทร์ ดำเนินงานโดยงานโดยมูลนิธิร่วมจิตต์น้อมเกล้าฯ ในพระบรมราชินูปถัมภ์ พ.ศ. 2550-ปัจจุบัน&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digital Archives from the M.L.

Theravāda Buddhasāsana draws profound scriptural direction from the Pāḷi Canon or Tipiṭaka, acknowledged to be the oldest authenthic record of Buddha's words. Theravāda Buddhasāsana is the predominant religion of South and Southeast Asia, prevailing from the 1st century BC. The sangha or Buddhist order of monks is one of the Three Jewels of Buddhasāsana (the other two being the Buddha and the Dhamma or the Doctrine).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 2002, the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the Patronage of His Holiness Somdet Phra Ñāṇasaṃvara the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand published for the first time in Roman-script edition the complete Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in 40 volumes, based on the resolution of &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/sets/72157600329146593/"&gt;the Great International Tipiṭaka Council&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; which was convened five decades earlier in Yongoon, Myanmar, by 2500 erudite Buddhist monks worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In 2005, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the Royal Matriarch of Thailand and Her Excellency Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, President of Domocratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka jointly &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/sets/72157600342866480/"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;inaugurated the World Tipiṭaka Edition in Colombo&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; Sri Lanka. Since then, this Roman-script canon -- the World Tipiṭaka Edition in Roman Script -- has been presented as a Royal Gift of Wisdom &amp;amp; Peace from Thailand to various libraries and leading institutions around the world. By &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/201/40/"&gt;2008 over 18 countries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, including &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/203/41/1/4/"&gt;Sri Lanka&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/203/41/1/2/"&gt;Sweden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://endowment.worldtipitaka.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=37&amp;amp;Itemid=28"&gt;Thailand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/151/41/"&gt;Netherlands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/177/41/"&gt;India&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.dhammasociety.org/mds/content/view/218/38/"&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, have received the World Tipiṭaka as royal gift.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While we, the Patrons of the World Tipiṭaka, are making available the Pāḷi text of the Buddhist canonical scriptures which are the objects of religious veneration and belief, it is not our purpose to advocate the position of a sectarian doctrine or religious system in any institution. Rather, we hope to provide a means of access to the Buddhist scriptures as a wisdom heritage of humanity, based on the most accurate historical research and latest technology available. It is our intention to provide a new ground of knowledge towards wisdom in the Tipiṭaka for sustainable peace and inner security for the international community worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tipitakastudies.net/"&gt;The Tipiṭaka WebService (www.tipitakaquotation.net)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, also developed by the Dhamma Society, has been available online since 2008.

Through this campaign, Royal Orchid Plus members can donate miles to support ‘the World Tipiṭaka Presentation,’      a project graciously initiated by HRH the late Princess Galyani Vadhana, the World Tipiṭaka Patron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Pandit Chanapai, THAI’s Executive Vice President for Commercial Department said that THAI first embarked upon the ‘Miles for Merit campaign’ in 2007. The campaign was a resounding success. Award tickets redeemed from donated miles brought 80 venerable monks to Buddhist holy sites in India and Nepal, in honour of His Majesty the King’s auspicious 80th anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year ‘Miles for Merit 2009’ campaign will support the transportation as well as the presentation of the 40-volume set of ‘World Tipiṭaka Edition in Roman Script’ (the world's first complete Great International Council Edition) to leading international institutions worldwide. For the very first time, the ‘World Tipiṭaka Edition’ will be presented as a royal gift of wisdom and peace from Thailand to the world, fulfilling the late Princess Galyani Vadhana’s wish on this project.

The World Tipiṭaka has been presented to leading institutions in Sweden, India, Netherlands, and Japan with priority given to institutions which received the Siam-script Tipiṭaka from King Chulalongkorn Chulachomklao of Siam, Princess Galyani Vadhana's grandfather, over a century ago. Now published in the internationally recognised Roman script, people all over the world will have much greater access to recite and study the Tipiṭaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thai Airways International Public Company is proud to be part of the ‘World Tipiṭaka Presentation’ project. The 2009 Tipiṭaka Presentation will include educational and research institutions in the United States such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC and top universities across the country. The Project targets institutions in no less than 32 countries which received the Siam-script edition over a century ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Royal Orchid Plus members are invited to support the ‘Miles for Merit 2009’ campaign.

Subsequently Professor Nangai Magato and Master Misuno Kogen, a teacher to whom I am greatly indebted, have developed it. Several universities such as Komazawa, Taisho, and Otani universities have produced quality personnel who have been doing researches until many Pāḷi researchers from all over Japan have collaborated and succeeded in translating the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka into Japanese called “Nandendaiso Scripture” consisting of 65 volumes and 70 issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later when World War II ended in 1945 Japan was in a ruinous and pathetic state. I entered Tokyo University in 1947 and started to learn Pāḷi immediately. There were very few documents in the research room and no Pāḷi dictionary could be found. In 1960 I began to search for Pāḷi documents from all over the world and started to collect them since then. At present my library is the best source in Japan. Now that I have received the latest Pāḷi edition of the World Tipiṭaka Council in the Roman Script from Thailand, my research room is complete and I am elated. Thank you very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I would like to ask permission to clarify some points.&lt;br /&gt;At the time when the Buddha was still alive (around 5-6 centuries before Christ) a powerful Kingdom in India was Māgadha. The Buddha might have spoken the ancient Māgadha language. Buddhist Theravāda Tradition in Southern India believes that the language has changed to Pāḷi. The word “Pāḷi” means “Scripture” but theoretically during the spread of Buddhasāsana from Magadha in East India to West India it could be said that Pāḷi was used as the language of the scripture three centuries before Christ. In the reign Emperor Ashoka, Buddhasāsana and Pāḷi spread from India to Sri Lanka and further on to Burma (present-day Myanmar), Cambodia, and Laos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not long after the Buddha had attained Nibbāna, 500 enlightened monks assembled at the holy cave. It was the first time that such a mass assembly took place to revise the Tipiṭaka. The Sixth Great Tipiṭaka Council in 1956 to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Buddhist Era took place in Yangon, Burma. A great number of Buddhist monks came from all the countries that have inherited Buddhist Theravāda Tradition. They compiled the Scripture by reciting the Tipiṭaka in unison. The outcome of that assemblage was the publishing of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in the Burmese script and this sixth revision was held to be the principal Scripture for Buddhist Theravāda Tradition. However, not long after the publishing of the Tipiṭaka, Burma underwent political changes so the project has not progressed since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest Pāḷi edition of the World Tipiṭaka Council in the Roman Script from Thailand, even though based on the manuscript in the Burmese script, has also been compared with more than 18 scriptures published in various countries and analysed by over 50 technical experts in computer engineering who spent three years revising and editing it. It is Thailand’s gratifying and great project of the century. The organisation assigned to undertake the project was the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the Patronage of His Holiness the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, supervised by its Chancellor, Major Suradhaj Bunnag, who has kindly joined today’s event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From another approach, Buddhasāsana spread from the northwest of India via the Silk Road into China, Korea, and Japan, and was known as the Northern Buddhasāsana. Since the time of the Buddha, Buddhasāsana in India had split into several sects. The tradition of Buddhasāsana originated when the Buddha was alive had developed into Mahāyāna and Vajarayāna sects of Buddhasāsana. At the end of the 12th century Buddhasāsana disappeared from India. At present modern Buddhasāsana in India has been restored via Sri Lanka. A part of Mahāyāna Sect has spread southward, but the Southern Buddhasāsana has been propagated through the conservation of the original Buddhasāsana in the Pāḷi language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the Northern Buddhasāsana, most of the Buddhist scriptures belonging to traditional Mahāyāna Sect used Sanskrit as the language of Dhamma. The original Buddhist Scripture conveying the teaching of the Buddha had been translated into the northern Chinese script as “Agama Sutra.” Since Mahāyāna Sect prospered a great deal, there had been numerous translations of Mahāyāna scriptures. Japanese researchers have always been seriously doing research on the birth and transmission of Mahāyāna Sect. There are several parts that are still not well known and all the Mahāyāna scriptures have not yet been assembled and summed up. The Pāḷi Tipiṭaka has been clearly compiled so we know that it is the authentic compilation of the Buddha’s teachings. Judging from the birth of this Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, it can be concluded that it is the principal scripture, the foundation derived from a direct transmission from the Buddha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buddhasāsana in Japan is divided into sects, each of which has its own founder. Thus, the Buddha is often forgotten. It is not necessary to emphasise that the Buddha gave birth to Buddhasāsana. No leader of any sect stands on his right-hand side. We should all reconsider this point. All sects of Buddhasāsana in the world hold the Buddha to be the most excellent, whether Dougenzenshi or Shinranshounin or Nichirenshounin, would agree with this truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to return to where I left off. When we listen to the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, we feel as if we were listening to the Buddha himself, for example, when he was delivering Dhamma Discourse to his disciples he would call them bhikkave, bhikkave. I think that this characteristic of the Buddha’s speech has been transmitted in the original without any adaptation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Great East-Asian War Japan has re-established the country’s economic conditions. At the same time the Pāḷi research has also progressed, with valuable research works and many new translations being published on a regular basis. Most of them were translated from the books of Pali Text Socity in London. Later there were several translations from the Burmese script of the Great International Tipiṭaka Council (the Sixth Council in Burma). In the near future I absolutely hope that there will also be researches on and translations of this latest edition of the Great International Tipiṭaka Council in the Roman Script -- “The World Edition” -- from Thailand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At present, the Pāḷi research in Japan has taken the Suttantapiṭaka, Vinayapiṭaka, and Dhammapitaka from the Tipiṭaka to be examined together with historical documents, documents concerning grammar, and relevant references. The research works and their Japanese translations are regularly publicized. We think that we would be able to present these references to you in the near future. I believe that reading the reference will enable one to deeply and correctly understand the Tipiṭaka from another perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In general, each of the countries in Southeast Asia that adhere to Buddhist Theravāda Tradition would publish the Pāḷi Scripture in their own language, which is a normal practice for each country. When I was teaching graduate students of Pāḷi, I made them do a research on four types of scripts: Thai, Burmese, Sinhala of Sri Lanka, and Devanagari of India on their own for two years. After that they had to take a Pāḷi reading comprehension test twice a year or at the end of the first and second terms. My exams consisted of all four types of scripts, which was very depressing for the students. However, I think that from now on only two types of scripts, Thai and Sinhala, should be enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The publishing of this latest Pāḷi edition of the World Tipiṭaka Council in the Roman Script is the first of its kind accomplished by Asians as a meritorious project to disseminate the Buddha’s words to be known worldwide. I believe that Japan’s research, though a bit late, must be continually developed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1988 there was a Pāḷi research in our own country. Researchers interested in Buddhist culture from all places assembled to found the Society for the Study of Pāḷi and Buddhist Culture. Academic seminars are organised annually and the society’s journal called the “Journal of Pāḷi and Buddhist Culture” is regularly issued. At present there are altogether 220 members including members from abroad. It is the only academic society in Japan with expertise in Pāḷi that joins the Science Council of Japan, an agency that organises activities under the Prime Minister’s Office. The society has set its sights on doing activities in the form of academic exchanges among a great number of researchers, with special interest in the Buddhist Theravāda Tradition in foreign countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from academic research, the recent movement in Japan worth paying attention to is that the dynamic Buddhist Theravāda Tradition is continuously developing. I myself appreciate this movement and have been observing it with interest. In countries in Europe which is the world of Christianity, there are numerous temples, Dhamma and meditation centres in operation. In Asia, Islam and socialism have clashed, causing difficulty. As a participant in a research on Buddhasāsana, I care very much about the present situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buddhasāsana has the Buddha as the founder. The Tipiṭaka is a sacred scripture that has directly transmitted the Buddha’s words. Buddhasāsana in countries around the world has started from the same point of origin and developed and spread worldwide, which at present the world has reached a time of crisis. What can Buddhasāsana offer to help rescue it from all perils? All the Dhammas concerning Morality from the Five Precepts, the Eight Precepts, the Four Noble Truths, to the Noble Eightfold Path are all very crucial. I would like to suggest the following four issues for consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 40px; text-align: justify;"&gt;1. According to the Life of the Buddha, He was born, walked by himself on lotus blooms, meditated until he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha. From that time on he had become the Tathāgata who taught to render benefit to the world, human beings and non-human, the first and foremost Teacher who had made Buddhasāsana complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. In a competitive society such as the one at present, it should be accepted that anyone who can win over himself should be considered a true “Jina” or conqueror according to the Buddha’s teaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. People in the world have unanimously talked about sustainable development, but it should be accepted that man’s ability to repress his defilements and cravings and adhere to &lt;em&gt;Santuṭṭhi&lt;/em&gt; or sufficiency is also a way leading to becoming a true human being just like the Buddha’s way of leading his life with only the three pieces of cloth and one begging bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The worst situation in the world is waging war. We should accept the highest merit of Nibbāna that in the Buddha’s lifetime there were at least two times that he had learned from the effort to prevent war and bring peace to the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the four issues that I would like to present.&lt;br /&gt;Even though the Spaceship called Earth which shares the same fate as all human beings should come to the worst, I believe that the thing which can show the way to real happiness is the Pāḷi Scripture. All Buddhists should trace their way back to the foundation of Dhamma in the Pāḷi Scripture taught by the Buddha and search until they find Buddhasāsana in a new perspective from that point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 40-volume Pāḷi Tipiṭaka is deemed as mankind’s truly invaluable treasure. I would like to express my sincerest respect and thanks for your goodwill and perseverance in bringing them to Nagoya, Japan, which is such a faraway place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I hope that the presentation of the latest Pāḷi edition of the World Tipiṭaka in the Roman Script will create a firmer bond between Thailand and Japan. I would like to thank representatives from the Japan Theravāda Buddhist Association who have dedicated themselves to coordinating with the city of Nagoya and the various institutions and universities in Tokyo and Kansai District. My special thanks go to President of the Japan Theravāda Buddhist Association, Mr. Junichi Konishi, who has always been giving his support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21 November 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maeda Kegakku&lt;br /&gt;President of the Society for the Study of Pāḷi and Buddhist Culture&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;パーリ学仏教文化学会会長&lt;br /&gt;前田恵學&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhammasociety/3062858332/" title="Aichi Gakuin University03.jpg by dhammasociety.org, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/3062858332_40a921879f.jpg" alt="Aichi Gakuin University03.jpg" height="159" width="406" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1796137142581407809-3388352847840290842?l=buddhavasse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/3388352847840290842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1796137142581407809/posts/default/3388352847840290842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buddhavasse.blogspot.com/2008/12/acceptance-speech-by-prof-maeda.html' title='Acceptance Speech by Prof Maeda'/><author><name>Buddhavasse 2500</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14934615050207320956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xWTrc5gKmbM/S6m53uqA1XI/AAAAAAAAASI/9aPSdZPgos4/S220/DhammaSocietyLogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/3052634582_bc6c2ae64c_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796137142581407809.post-828165246727471183</id><published>2008-12-03T10:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-03T00:31:06.899-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tipitaka Press Conference and Reception</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;

Warmly welcome especially to Their  Excellencies the Ambassadors of Sweden, Sri Lanka, Japan, and Republic of Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Today the representatives of ten leading institutions from Asia and Europe have arrived in Bangkok to accomplish three purposes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) to receive the World Tipiṭaka in the Roman Script;&lt;br /&gt;(2) to participate at the World Tipiṭaka Recitation;&lt;br /&gt;(3) to attend the Royal Cremation Ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow the Constitutional Court of Thailand will organize the World Tipiṭaka Presentation and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration together with the Dhamma Society will organize the World Tipiṭaka Recitation in memory of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the Patron of the World Tipiṭaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tipiṭaka is the world heritage containing the message of wisdom and peace. It has been preserved in Asia in Pāḷi language written in national scripts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dhamma Society is a small private organization under the patronage of His Holiness the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand.   Because of the dedication of the patrons and the use of modern technology, the Dhamma Society completed its first main task in 2005, the production of the World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script based on the resolution of the International Tipiṭaka Council held over 50 years ago. Since then the Dhamma Society has continued its second main task, the presentation of the World Tipiṭaka, by presenting the 40-volume of the World Tipiṭaka to leading institutions, by developing web-based technology to access to the electronic Tipiṭaka, and by organizing the Tipiṭaka Recitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tipiṭaka Recitation is a wisdom-based activity. From the Tipiṭaka, all participants derive wisdom, happiness, and peace by reciting together the words of the Buddha while reflecting on their meanings. For this, the Tipiṭaka Recitation Manuals based on the Roman-script World edition are produced and distributed as a gift of Dhamma. Tomorrow, the whole country joins in reciting from the World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script. I thank the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for publishing one million copies of the World Tipiṭaka Recitation Manual and also organizing this mega event in memory of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, Royal Patron of the World Tipiṭaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is our expectation that through this meritorious act, millions of people in Thailand and the Tipiṭaka patrons from various countries will realize that the great potentiality of the World Tipiṭaka in Roman Script in maintaining lasting peace and wisdom in the world, the vision of the late Pincess Galayani Vadhana and also her grandfather, King Chulachomklo of Siam, who published the world’s first Tipiṭaka edition in 1893. It is the mission of the World Tipiṭaka Council as well. Therefore, I expect the Recipients of the World Tipiṭaka to utilize the potentiality of the World Tipiṭaka for the benefit of the world. Let us work together to accomplish this noble mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May Her Royal Highness achieve the supreme bliss of Nibbāna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;
