Colours

Ludovic Bubner 11 year бұрын жаңартылды 11 year бұрын 2

Dear Ajahn Sujato,
I often visit this website for I'm a reader of Pali Texts in Pali... No doubt that this site is the best concerning the early Buddhist texts. Simple, straightforward, easy to use...
However, and perhaps because I'm getting old, I think that there is a lack of contrast between colours -- especially between 
grey and black. I find quite uneasy to read the texts written in grey, such as titles, heading... Perhaps also because I'm using a Mac, and the resolution is quite different from a PC. 
Well, it's not a big deal, but the icing on the cake would be to bring more contrast between colours, so the eyes could go over the texts without effort. 
Bhante, this is just a suggestion. As I just said, this website is great.

A suggestion on sutta "translation"

Starter Starter 10 year бұрын updated by Sujato Bhikkhu 10 year бұрын 3
Hi may I make a suggestion to form a group of "translators" who have good understanding of the suttas and good mastery of Pali, to "synthesize" different versions of translations, confirmed with the group's own understanding, of the important suttas (especially those lacking good translations). The group can make the best possible "translations", with footnotes, and put them on this site, so that there'll be no copy right issue, and we'll have access to even better versions of the suttas online.

Thanks for all your good work, and mega metta!

Dear Bhante,

About "The Authenticity of the Early Buddhist Texts".
If you want to, I can print off several copies, and ship them to Bodhinyana Monastery. 
Well, it's just an idea. Let me know whether you would like to. And if so, how many copies? A4 format?
Best,
Ludo

Dear Bhante,

It would be nice if we could download the Suttas (PDF files) in order to print them out -- especially the suttas in Pāli. Reading Pali on screen is really tiring.
Otherwise, thank you again for your wonderful job. Sādhu, sādhu, sādhu.

SN 12.15

Jayarava Attwood 11 year бұрын 0

The Sanskrit version of the Pāli Kaccānagotta Sutta (SN 12.15) is complete rather than fragmentary. It is part of a fragment of the Sanskrit Samyuktāgama which contains a number of complete texts. 


The reference is: Tripāṭhī, Chandra. (Ed.) (1962). ‘Fünfundzwanzig Sūtras Des Nidānasaṃyukta’ in Sanskrittexte aus den Turfanfunden (Vol. VIII). Edited by Ernst Waldschmidt. Berlin: Akademie-Verlag, 1962. [Includes translation into German]: 167-170.


My translation of the Sanskrit is here: http://www.jayarava.org/texts/Sanskrit-Katyayana-Sutra.pdf
