Prime Minister Narendra Modi was presented with the Holy Scriptures: “World Ti-pitaka: Sajjhaya Phonetic Edition” by his Thai counterpart Paetongtarn Shinawatra at Bangkok today. It was brought out by the Thai government in 2016 to commemorate the 70-year reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit. The Holy Scriptures is a compilation of Lord Buddha’s teachings with accurate pronunciation of the Pali Tipiṭaka’s over nine million syllables. Thai Government has presented it as a “Gift of Peace and Wisdom for All” from the Kingdom of Thailand to more than 30 countries.
Prime Minister Modi has expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for giving him a copy of the Tipitaka in Pali.
