• Devanagari Script Print Edition, VRI Tipitaka. The Vipassana Research Institute (VRI), in India undertook the monumental task of publishing the entire Pali Canon and allied commentarial literature in 140 volumes. This work supplemented the efforts of Nalanda Mahavihara at the Nalanda Institute. VRI has taken the Chattha Sangayana version in Burmese script as the authentic, authoritative version. Pali scholars from India and other countries, including many learned bhikkhus and research scholars in Burma, assisted in this work, which led to publication of an authentic version of the Tipitaka and allied literature in Devanagiri script in printed book form. The cost of shipping is paid by the recipient. More information about this monumental work is available here or by emailing tipitaka@pariyatti.org.
• The CD-ROM edition of the Tipitaka. Contains 217 volumes of Pali Tipitaka, its Atthakathas, Tikas, Anutikas and other Pali texts. Custom software automatically converts the Devanagiri script Pali into one of six other scripts, as the reader prefers: Roman, Burmese, Thai, Sinhalese, Cambodian, or Mongolian. Study and research into the words of the Buddha is greatly facilitated by a search engine capable of locating any word or phrase in any part of the Tipitaka in a matter of seconds.
