The transmission of Dhamma: from the Buddha's time to present day!
On 23th, February, 2013, it was a really remarkable and memorable day for
us because it was a great conference at Science park convention center. The
conference is about Tipitaka project .
First of all, I would
like to describe about this project beginning. In April 2010, Wat Phra
Dhammakaya has launched “The Dhammachai Tipitaka Project”, with the aim to
preserve the existing palm-leaf manuscripts and to create the digitalized and
computerized database of the Pali Tipitaka in order to support the Buddhist
studies by all interested parties.
This project is a very
long project. This project going to finish 2027, so everyone can imagine how
hard work is it. The scholars from different countries have put a lot of their effort
into inscribing and preserving these palm-leave manuscripts which have
significant historical and cultural values as Buddhist documentary heritage.
And there are four
great guest speakers from England, Germany, and Japan. I listened them very
carefully and I do really appreciate them for their hard efforts. As we
understand Tipitaka is a very huge and large, so to be done smartly this work,
it going to take long.
so I would like to
thank to Dhammakaya for this project and it would probably be give the sweet
benefit for next Buddhist generation and I would like to thank our teacher Dr.
Doungkamon for giving us this chance to take part this great conference
