Today Yellow Robe has been mostly migrated to the new system. It is now exhibiting a magazine style, and I will be posting more articles from now on as an effort to spread the authentic Buddhism in the form of modern media.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email me @ iwscol@gmail.com

Besides, the migration still has many broken links, and I’m still digging them out. Please let me know if you find any.

Thank you.

Today is the Buddha’s day- it is the day the Lord was born, attained enlightenment, as well as the day he entered parinibbana. This is the day all the Buddhists around the world should pay due reverence to the Buddha and practice diligently his teachings. Offerings can also be made to the temples and relics. Homage should be paid to the triple gem.

May one raises faith and diligence in mind, setup the four foundations of mindfulness, meditate faithfully and diligently on the rising and falling of phenomenon, and thus realize the Eightfold Noble’s Path, to the other shore – Nibbana.

May the worldly beings be free from suffering and misery, and attain nibbanic peace, be free from cankers and defilements.

Homage to the Buddha, the all-enlightened Arahant.
Homage to the Dhamma, which is perfect in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end.
Homage to the Sangha, who are pure in deeds and noble in minds.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

I’m engaging in a project to digitalize the English translation of the Pali Canon. It is a large project as there are a lot of texts to translate. I am planning to use Wisdom Publication’s books.

Although there are already a few English translations around, but not all of them are of good quality so to speak. Besides, notes and commentary are quite important.

If you own some Wisdom Publication Pali Canon books and wish to participate, please let me know. At this moment I’m typing all the texts by myself, although I don’t rule out hiring some typewriters later.

Also, I will try to type in all the suttas first without notes, and add notes later since that will give audiences faster access to the suttas.

Thank you.
