World Tipitaka in Roman Script Archive 2006

The World Tipitaka Project in Roman-script.

The World Tipitaka Projcet was initiated in Bangkok, Thailand, by the Dhamma Society Fund in 1999. It was a meritorious response to a request from abroad to support the first printing of the Roman-script Pali Tipitaka from the Buddhist Era 2500 Great International Council which was convened by 2500 Theravada Buddhist monks between 1954-1956 in Yangon, Burma.

The project was completed its the 40-volume publication in 2005. This Roman-script edition is thus the world's first Pali Tipitaka from the Great International Council in B.E.2500 (1956). The inauguration of the World Tipitaka Presentation was organised in Colombo, Sri Lanka and later in Bangkok, Thailand and Uppsala, Sweden.

Library Carolina Rediviva of Uppsala University where the King of Siam edition was presented to as a royal gift by King Chulalomklao of Siam over a century ago received, in 2005, an inaugural edition from the King's grand-daughter, HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana of Thailand. Uppsala University is thus the first learning institute in the West to have received the royal gift of Tipitaka.

One of the inaugural editions was also presented to the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand in Bangkok and has been preserved as an authoritative reference for the nation.

The World Tipitaka Project is voluntarily organised and supported by Tipitaka patrons worldwide in order to preserve the Pali Tipitaka --a Wisdom Heritage of Humanity-- in its supreme purity for the future generation.
