Tipiṭaka Electronic Documentation
Tipiṭaka documentation is an important principle to support the preservation of Pāḷi Tipiṭaka. Two important ancient documentations of Tipitaka should be mentioned. Over 2000 years ago, Emperor Asoka the Great of India erected the great stone pillars to proclaim the Dhamma after the completion of the Tipitaka council. These Pillars numbering 84,000 according to the 84,000 Dhammas. About 1,000 years ago in old Burma, King Anurudha built 84,000 Buddhist monasteries. The aim of the ancient world is to publicize the news of the Great Council and the completion of the new verified Tipiṭaka.
In the case of the Dhamma Society, in order to sustain the concept of 84,000, we documented every key process on electronic media. This includes Tipiṭaka electronic editing and Tipiṭaka video documentary. The e-Tipiṭaka editing ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka database while the video documentary ensures the public understanding and transparency of the Project procedure.
