"Avoid evil, do good, and keep a pure mind"

According to the teachings of the Buddhas, the sacred texts will be actively involved in avoiding evil.

With this aim in mind, the Sanghayana monks compiled and explained the Dhamma in the book called the Peta Sutta, a collective record of the events that occurred during the Buddha's time.

In matters of literature and art, each has its own purpose and direction, and in writing this little book, “The Wife of the King and Other Poems,” I also have a certain direction. In other words, there is a central mechanism that directly targets this book.

The focal point of that machine is not the learned monks or wise people who are well versed in Pali scriptures, literature, and commentary on the Eighth Chapter. I dare not aim to refer to the noble individuals who are more mature in morals and knowledge than I am.

My goal is to reach out to young readers who are deeply immersed in the teachings of the Buddha, who are pursuing the study of Buddhist scriptures and the knowledge of the Eightfold Path, and who are the future martyrs of the religion.

What is a recluse? Why do we become recluses? How can we escape from a recluse life? What vices, including the four realms, lead to recluse status? These short stories are written to make young readers more aware of these issues than they already know.

In writing these manuscripts, the Tirokuta Peeta (Pali) by the Pātevuthū Atthakatha teacher Dhammapala was translated by Sayadaw U Vinayajata, the Pali University Monastery, in Bago.

He has signed the great translation of the Patevuthu.

We pay homage to the great religious heroes, teachers, and visionaries who have carried the great religion forward, for the benefit of the world and the cycle of life, and to the great religious leader, Sayadaw U Sanya Wunsa.

Dear Oo Nyo

September 1995, the sky is higher than the sky

First, I saw snakes.

The snakes that were coiling around the pillar of the palace's machinery hall were coiling and howling. As he watched, the pillar took on the shape of a man. He was still looking at the man, as if he had seen him before, and beneath the writhing bodies of the snakes, his face appeared.

Oh my... is that Lord Devadatta?

Lord Devadatta stared at him, laughing out loud. But even as he laughed, his face turned a ghastly red and he stopped laughing.
