Re: bhikkhuve

Dear Ven. Yuttadhammo,

yes, I think Phramaha Pranom was his name. The MCU is working on a Tipitaka with included commentaries.

Phramaha Sompong wasn't there that one afternoon in September last year; I would have wanted to see him, too, because of the Nissaya Tipitaka.

By the way, do you or does anyone (Justin?) have Phramaha Sompong's email address?

And does anyone know one of the following persons trained in "Pali Yai"?

จำรูญ ธรรมดา, พระมหาประนอม ธมฺมาลงฺกาโร, พระมหาไพโรจน์ ญาณกุสโล, มนัส จอดพิมาย, สุภีร์ ทุมทอง, สมบูรณ์ เพ่งพิศ, ดวงมาลา มะกรูดทอง, ไพจิตร หิรัณยวนิชย์.

They are all listed as authors of the Nissaya Tipitaka project. (Phramaha Sompong is listed as advisor or co-advisor.)

Some information (in Thai) about the project is available here:
http://nissaya.igetweb.com/index.php?mo=3&art=178418 

They have done two volumes so far, starting with Dighanikaya. Volume 1 (published 2004) is the Brahmajalasutta, Volume 2 (published 2008) goes up to the Mahalisutta (6th Sutta). (Sorry, I can't produce diacritics, or at least I haven't found out yet how to use diacritics in emails as I'm writing in the browser and don't use an email programme.)

I haven't had any chance to contact them yet; I needed a digital version of the Mahalisutta for my dissertation. Now a diligent person in Bangkok types it for me...

But I might need to contact them anyway sooner or later, so if anybody has an idea how (email or mobile) or where (in case I will be back in Thailand before finishing my dissertation) I could be able to contact one of them, I'm always grateful for hints. So far I only know Phramaha Sompong and where to find him.

Kind regards

Susi
