H-Buddhism NEW ANTHOLGY OF BUDDHIST TEXTS: Common Buddhist Text: Guidance and Insight from the Buddha Discussion published by Peter Harvey on Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Common Buddhist Text: Guidance and Insight from the Buddha, a project of the International Council of Vesak, based at Mahachulalongkorn-rajavidyalaya University, Thailand This is a text of 256,000 words and 423 pages with translations from Buddhist texts in Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan, representing the ‘Theravāda, Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna’ traditions. A pdf of the text can be downloaded at: http://www.undv.org/vesak2015/en/cbt.php The plan is for it to be published as a book in English and then into the other official UN languages as well as other languages of Buddhist countries, with the aim that it will be available for free and distributed to many hotels.The proposer and co-ordinator of the project is Egil Lothe, President of the Buddhist Federation of Norway, and an international committee of scholars, headed by Ven. Khammai Dhammasami, Executive Secretary of the International Association of Buddhist Universities, selected most of the passages to be included. The project began in 2012, and has had feedback from many scholars and leading monastics. The text is edited by Peter Harvey (University of Sunderland), with the overall guiding hand of Venerable Professor Brahmapundit (MCU Rector) as Chief Editor. Translations are newly done: from Pali by P.D. Premasiri (University of Peradeniya), G.A Somaratne (University of Hong Kong) and Peter Harvey; from Sanskrit by Dharmacārī Śraddhāpa (University of Oslo); from Chinese by Dharmacārī Śraddhāpa and Venerable Thich Tue Sy (Van Hanh University); and from Tibetan by Tamás Agócs (Dharma Gate Buddhist College, Budapest). The text is divided into: Part I, with 69 Pali passages (56 pages) on the life of the Buddha and 11, 13 and 6 passages from the three traditions on 'Different perspectives on the Buddha (18 pages ; Part II (265 pages), on the Dharma, with 231 Pali passages, 168 Sanskrit and Chinese ones, and 91 Tibetan ones spread across 11 chapters; and Part III (39 pages), on the Sangha, with 2 chapters. There are 29 pages of overall and tradition introductions, and each passage has a short introduction contextualising it.
