Dear Alex and friends,

what you are trying to do is interesting. I have some famous nice
stanzas in Pali, English and Chinese here:
http://www.tipitaka.net/nicestanzas.htm

For Dhammapada, you can find Chinese and Japanese translations on the
web:

(白話 Baihua) http://book.bfnn.org/books2/1724.htm

(文言 Wenyan)

da/ven-l-z-all.htm

(日本語 Nihongo) http://www.j-theravada.net/sakhi/buddha-enka-1.html

In the Chinese Tripitaka, what is close to the Pali Dhammapada is 出曜
ç¶" Chuyao Jing (Dharmapaada Sutra).



metta,
Yong Peng.

I am wondering if anyone has the same short text (such as the first
sutta of Kaccaayana or the first few lines of the dhammapada) in
several languages (translation or transliteration). I am
experimenting with intuitive methods to interact with a text in
various languages and scripts. Certainly, this material will be made
available to this group and others.
