Mahaparinibbanasutta : Tipitaka Recitation in Memory of Princess Galyani Vahdhana

Mahaparinibbanasutta

November 14-15, 2008 in Bangkok.

The World Tipiṭaka Recitation Ceremony will be organised in esteemed homage to the late Princess Galyani Vadhana, His Majesty the King's elder sister, whose dedication to the people and the nation was immense and well-known both in Thailand and abroad.

HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana was the Founding Honorary President and Royal Patron of the World Tipiṭaka Project which published the 40-volume Great International Council Edition for the first time, in the Roman script, in Bangkok in 2005.

The World Tipiṭaka Recitation Ceremony will be organised by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the M.L.Maniratanta Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the Patronage of His Holiness Somdet Phra Ñāṇasaṃvara, the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand.

In order to make it possible for people all over the country to participate in the Tipiṭaka Recitation, the Tipiṭaka Recitation Manual will be printed and distributed nationwide by the BMA. Television and radio networks will be invited to broadcast the ceremony live. A multi-media and personalised technology, particularly a mobile phone technology will be used to facilitate the practice of recitation in the original language of Pāḷi [paːɭi] and translation in Thai language.

This short recitation tutorial is one of the examples which can be downloaded to accompany the Tipiṭaka Recitation Manual.

Broadcasting time will be announced soon.
