Inauguration of World Tipiṭaka in Sri Lanka 2005

Inauguration of World Tipiṭaka in Sri Lanka

On March 6, B.E. 2548 or 2005, Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, Honorary President of Tipiṭaka Presentation Worldwide, graciously presented an inaugural World Tipiṭaka Edition to the President of Sri Lanka in Colombo upon a presidential invitation.

Two additional inaugural Tipiṭaka editions were graciously presented by the Princess on August 15, 2005 to the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand and on September 13, to patron members of the Dhamma Society who subsequently made a Tipiṭaka Pilgrimage to Sweden to hand-over the royal gift of Tipiṭaka in Roman script to the Library Carolina Rediviva, Uppsala University, Uppsala, in Sweden.

With this smooth and simple handing-over process, the World Tipiṭaka Edition, after 50 years from its first inception of the Great International Council in Burma, including 6 years of recent proof-reading as well as database-formatting and printing in Thailand, has come to a happy conclusion in the west.

Pāḷi Tipiṭaka is a gift of Dhamma and Peace for the World. Dhamma Society welcomes participation and cooperation from Peace-loving international community worldwide.

Digital Archives form the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund's World Pāḷi Tipiṭaka Project in Roman script, 1999-2007.

หากทุกคน ยึดหลักพระคำสอนของพระพุทธองค์ เชื่อได้ว่าชีวิตย่อมมีแต่ความส­งบ
