It provides sufficient information to place each proper name - physically (or mythicly) for place names, in time and school of thought for individuals.

สนับสนุนและส่งเสริมให้สาธุชนเข้าถึงพระรัตนไตรด้วยการสวดมนต์ทำวัตรเช้าทำวัตรเย็นทั้งบาลีและคำแปลที่ถูกต้องเพื่อประโยชน์ในการสั่งสมอบรมบารมีตามกำลังศรัทธาและปัญญาแห่งตน และที่แปลกกว่าที่อื่นเขาก็คือส่วนมากจะเขียนบทสวดเป็นแบบบาลีล้วน เพื่อให้ท่านได้เปรียบเทียบและศึกษาการเขียนบาลีไปด้วย สมกับคำที่ว่า “รู้ภาษามีภาษี เรียนบาลีได้กุศล”

The World Fellowship of Buddhists ( WFB ) was founded on May 25 B.E.2493 (1950) in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where representatives from 27 countries in Asia, Europe and North America (including Hawaii) met for this purpose. Nearly every school of Buddhism in the Mahayana, Theravada, and Vajrayana traditions was represented by members of the Sangha as well as laity. This was probably the first time in the history of Buddhism that such a gathering was held. No Buddhist sect, school or organization was unwilling to attend the meeting. Thus founded, the WFB represents the common interests of Buddhists throughout the world numbering hundreds of millions.

Among the various and varied Buddhist meditative disciplines taught in the United States, Insight Meditation, or vipassana, has been, since the early 1980s, one of the fastest growing in popularity. To a great extent this can be attributed to the practice being offered independent of much of its traditional Theravada Buddhist religious context. This autonomy has allowed the American vipassana teachers and students to adapt and present the meditation practice in forms and language that are much more thoroughly Westernized than most other forms of Buddhism in America. As the number of people participating in the mindfulness practices of Insight Meditation has increased, a loose-knit lay Buddhist movement, uniquely Western, that is sometimes known as the "vipassana movement," has evolved.
