Pali Sandhi is a phonetic transformation from two words into a new word. The phonemes of the neighbouring words are changed and merged. Pali Sandhi word segmentation is more challenging than Thai word segmentation because Pali is a highly inflected language. This study proposes a novel approach that predicts splitting locations by classifying the sample Sandhi words into five classes with a bidirectional long short-term memory model. We applied the classified rules to rectify the words from the splitting locations. We identified 6,345 Pali Sandhi words from Dhammapada Atthakatha. We evaluated the performance of our proposed model on the basis of the accuracy of the splitting locations and compared the results with the dataset. Results showed that 92.20% of the splitting locations were correct, 1.10% of the Pali Sandhi words were predicted as non-splitting location words and 5.83% were not matched with the answers (incomplete segmentation).

Ajahn Chah (Phra Bodhinyana Thera) was one of the meditation teachers in the Thai forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. He established many branch monasteries in Thailand and his Western disciples have carried the tradition to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and America.

Venerable Kaṭukurunde Ñāṇananda, was born in 1940 to a family of Buddhist parents in Galle, Sri Lanka. He received his school education at Mahinda College, Galle, where he imbibed the true Buddhist values. In 1962 he graduated from the University of Peradeniya and served as an Assistant Lecturer in Pali at the same University for a brief period. He renounced his post in 1967 to enter the Order of Buddhist monks at Island Hermitage, Dodanduwa.

Already during the first phase of his life as a monk at Island Hermitage, Ven. Ñāṇananda had written four books which were published by the Buddhist Publication Society in Kandy under the titles.

1. Concept and Reality in Early Buddhist Thought
2. Saṁyutta Nikāya – An Anthology (Part II)
3. Ideal Solitude

Pāli Platform is a standalone desktop application developed with Java technology. The program is written by J.R. Bhaddacak, started around the first quarter of 2019. The debut released in Jan 2020. The program is intended to be an open-source and free software for educational purpose. The main purpose of the programmer is to make a powerful research tool for Pāli language, the language of the Theravāda Buddhist canon. At the beginning phase, the program aims to be a reliable learning tool for the language. This goal is fulfilled in the first release. The ultimate goal of the program, but unpromised, is to be a machine translator of Pāli.

A revised and reconstructed translation of the Jātaka commentary, which tells of the previous lives of the Buddha, and his quest for Awakening.

The aims, methods and rationales of the present Māgadhabhāsā (Pāḷi) grammar are as follows: (a) Lubricating access to the information contained in numerous modern Pāḷi grammars written in English by collating the dispersed material contained within them. People who wish to learn about grammatical rules and principles – either on a broader spectrum or at all – are compelled to track them down in the thicket of the widely scattered grammar inventories as separately given by the various available grammars. These works, mostly fine and outstanding works of scholarship in their own right, each individually often contain valuable data and perspectives not found in the other ones, and these are attempted to be distilled and presented with this Pāḷi grammar. (b) Facilitating identification of and providing explicit reference to most of the grammatical rules contained in the Kaccāyanabyākaraṇaṃ (Kaccāyana), the oldest extant Pāḷi grammar, as well as to selected ones from other traditional grammars.

Santi Forest Monastery provides an avenue for the training of monastics and lay devotees committed to striving towards the path to Nibbāṇa; to accumulating and perfecting their Pāramī (Perfections) through the practice of Sīla (Precepts), Samādhi (Concentration) and Paññā (Wisdom).
