In Memory of H.R.H. Princess Galyani Vadhana

In Memory of the Beloved and Esteemed Princess

Bangkok, January 2, B.E. 2551, (2008), Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, the elder sister of His Majesty the King of Thailand, has passed away. She was 84.

The Bureau of the Royal Household announced early morning today that H.R.H. Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, elder sister of the King and the Matriarch of the Royal Family, has passed away at 02.54 January 2, 2008.

His Majesty King Bhumibold Adulyadej has commanded the Buddhist funeral rite for the late Princess, the highest honour, to be taken place at Dusit Throne Hall in the Grand Palace. A 100-day court morning has also been observed.

...In 2004, as the Grand-daughter of King Chulachomklao of Siam and the Matriarch of the Royal Family, she accepted to become the first Honorary President of the Roman-script Tipiṭaka Presentation to Leading Institutions Worldwide, thereby following the international presentation of the King's Tipiṭaka in Siam-script edition as a royal gift by her Grand-father over a century ago.

...In 2007, by her gracious permission, a Tipiṭaka Endowment Fund which the Princess initiated in 2005, was specially named as "Princess Galyani Tipiṭaka Endowment Fund". This Fund will continue to support the printing and propagation of the World Tipiṭaka in memory of the late Her Royal Highness Galyani Vadhana, the highly esteemed and beloved Princess Patron of the World Tipiṭaka.

This brief recording shows one of the most important occasions for Dhamma Society to present an in-depth report of World Tipitaka Project to the scholar princess.

May the vision and the meritorious work of the late Princess ever prosper and long endure !
