Publisher's Acknowledgment

thank the compiler U Ko Lay for giving permission to reprint his Guide to Tipitaka for free distribution.

A former vice-chancellor of the Mandalay University of Myanmar, the compiler has done much work in translating Buddhist texts and spreading the Buddha's dispensation.

As he turns 88 this August (2000), we wish to express our appreciation and gratitude for all the services he has rendered to the Buddha Sasana.

We in Malaysia have benefited from all the Dhamma teachings that we received from the Theravada Buddhist countries of Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.

As he celebrates his 88th birthday, we also wish by way of this reprint to honour Sayagyi U Ko Lay and to dedicate the merits of this Dhamma-ddna to the weal and happiness of all beings.

May all beings be happy May they become fully enlightened May they be liberated from all suffering.
