Pali Chanting in 2006 and the forthcoming Pali Tipitaka Recitation in 2008.
In 2006, Maha Bodhi Society of India made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the 2550th Buddha Jayanti that marks Sakyamuni Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Mahaparinirvana (passing away).
The year-long programme was started from Kolkota, or formerly Calcutta, where Anagarika Dhammapala, the founder of the Society launched and steered the Buddhist revival movement 115 years ago.
A 3-day ‘International Conference on Humanism’ was held from January 7-9 at Science City, Kolkota. The conference saw a huge participation of delegates from all spheres of life.
The Buddha Jayanti celebrations were carried forward through a week-long celebration at Buddhagya from February 13th to 19th, 2006. The Inaugural ceremony was held at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddhagaya. The month-long Tripitaka chanting was also inaugurated at the sacred Maha Bodhi tree in Maha Bodhi Vihara, Buddhagaya. A number of seminars were organized including the International Buddhist Seminar, International Homoeopathic Seminar, Inter-Religious Conference and International Buddhist Cultural programme at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddha Gaya.
Thus, the most historic of all the Maha Bodhi Society acitivities was the revival of Tipitaka's Pali Chanting. The most important practice in the Theravada tradition would now be organised annually during February.
Now that in 2007 the World Tipitaka Edition in Roman script was presented and permaently enshrined in the Maha Bodhi Society Temple, Dhamma Society has made a full support for the forthcoming 2008 Pali Tipitaka Recitation among international lay devotees.
These pictures of past chating activities 2006 are from Maha Bodhi Society of India.

I cut out scripture and words that inspire me and tape them all over my house. This was on the doorframe of my kitchen and it started get a little ragged so my hubby asked it I could take it down. I agreed, but I told him I would replace it with something new. So I took a pic of it before I removed it. I hope it gives you peace like it did for me.

This is a passage from the Book of Mormon that my Dad highlighted before giving this set of scriptures to me. He passed away last May and I found this note written in the margin. I love my Dad, and I miss him a lot.

BIBLICAL CONTEXT: Daniel 2:19-23 NIV
(from biblegateway.com)
19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
The Kuthodaw Pagoda or Maha Lawka Marazein Paya (Royal Merit Pagoda) was built by King Mindon Min (reigned 1852-1878). He was concerned about the invading British and what their presence in Burma would mean for Buddhist teachings and had the entire 15 books of the Tripitaka, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism, inscribed in gold on huge marble tablets.

"...that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
