このサイトは、管理人：光明寺住職（真宗大谷派所属）による仏典翻訳のサイトです。現在はパーリ三蔵を訳しています。
パーリ語というのは、スリランカ、ビルマ(ミャンマー)、タイ、ラオス、カンボジアなどに伝わった南伝仏教の聖典 に使用されている言語です。サンスクリット同様に仏教研究の上で重要な言語で、仏教学部のある大学では必ず講座があるはずで、勉強している人も多いと思い ます。もっとも大乗仏教圏の日本では、パーリ語よりも大乗仏典の言語であるサンスクリットやチベット語や漢文のほうが必要度が高いので、「サンスクリット の勉強のついでにパーリ語も勉強する」というのが実態かもしれません。
それだけに、参考書の数はサンスクリットに比べて少ないし、しかもほとんどがサンスクリットの知識を前提にして書かれているのが現状です。サンスクリッ トを勉強してからパーリ語を勉強する人にはいいのかもしれませんが、パーリ語だけを勉強しようと思うとけっこうやっかいです。勉強の環境はサンスクリット に比べて整っているとはいえません。乏しい情報の中で独学している人も多いと思います。
そういう、プロからアマまで、パーリ語を愛する（に苦労する）すべての人たちの情報交換の場になればと思って作ったサイトです。

"A History Of Pali Literature" by Bimala Churn Law (London, 1933).
This book, published for the first time in 2 volumes in 1933, has become a classic in Pali studies. It presents an exhaustive picture of the Pali Literature, both canonical and post-canonical, giving summaries of all the Pali books, from the Vinaya Pitaka which specifies the rules of conduct for bhikkhus and bhikkhunis to the Jataka Tales containing popular stories. Here are presented the first Buddhist books in history, which became the scriptures that form the base for the Theravada Buddhism.
Providing a huge amount of information about early Buddhism and about ancient Indian history, this is an invaluable reference book for the scholar as well as for the general reader interested in Buddhism.

Incredibly rare footage of Mahasi Sayadaw, who revitalized a style of Vipassana mediation in Burma during the 1970s, influencing well over one million people in Southeast Asia. This footage also shows footage of Sayadaw's main disciple U Silanada, and some of the first Westerners to bring Theravadin Buddhism to the the West including Jack Kornfield, Alan Clements, Joseph Goldstein, and the Indian Anagarika Munindra. This is an essential link in the transmission of the history as Asian thought into Western culture, and ultimately the American arts. Also included is the opening of a meditation retreat at Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts with Mahasi Sayadaw and his monks, hosted by Jack Kornfield. This includes opening instructions, and actual meditation interviews with Sayadaw.
