World Tipitaka at Frankfurt Book Fair 2007

Introduction to the Pali Tipitaka in Roman Script of the World Tipitaka Project at Frankfurt Book Fair 2007 by Dhamma Society Sri Lanka.

World Tipitaka Edition in 40 volumes (gold) and Tipitaka Studies Reference in 40 volumes (silver) have been unveiled for the first time at Thailand Pavilion, Frankfurt Book Fair 2007 in Germany.

Three years ago on March 6, 2005, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, Honorary President of Tipitaka Presentation Worldwide, made a special Pilgrimage to Colombo to present the inaugural edition to the President of Sri Lanka. March 6 was since considered the World Tipitaka Day in Sri Lanka.

This commemorative 80-volume collection has been published by Dhamma Society Fund with various modern technologies, such as open-standard database with the latest high-quality, digital colour printing, the first time that quality digital-printing technology has ever been used in the world to propagate the Pāḷi-language corpus in the Tipitaka. The specially commemorative hand-bound in gold and silver dust-edging edition will be exhibited at Thailand Pavilion, organised between October 10-14, 2007, by Department of Export Promotion, Ministry of Commerce.

Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany is today the largest trade fair in the world. The Fair encompasses newly published books and prints as well as electronic multi-media. To keep up with e-books and latest global IT developments, the 80-volume Pāḷi Tipiṭaka in Roman Script and its Tipiṭaka Studies Reference are formated in an international open-starndard will also be available to Tipiṭaka Network through WebService Technology worldwide (www.dhammasociety.org).

The World Tipiṭaka Project from Thailand also demonstrates that a heritage of humanity has been well-integrated into modern international technology with new potential applications. Because of an innovative approach of the Tipiṭaka as an "Internationally Wisdom-based Technology" from Thailand with far-reaching consequences towards Peace and Wisdom, the Ministry of Commerce has presented the World Tipiṭaka Project as a "special activity" in Thailand Pavilion this year.

Recorded on October 13, 2007, Thailand Pavilion.
