Felicitation
(About çHandbook for Mankindé)
As Mr. Pun Chongprasoed, the founder çThe Organization for
Buddhism Strengtheningé has summarized and cut off unnecessary words
in my narration of the Principles of Buddhism Book I of judgesû dharma
(Tulakarnrikkadham) to be concise and changed the wording from
monastic words to simplified one for anyone who is unfamiliar with
monastic language, especially Pali in this book. To promulgate in people
who hardly have leisure, this book has been published to disseminate
on behalf of The Organization for Buddhism Strengthening. By persuading
some groups of people or the faithful to donate an amount of money
together for the book publication without profit for the sake of cooperation
to disseminate Dharma as I have preached extensively on the other way.
I have considered their honest intention and action, so I take this
opportunity to congratulate their goodness.
I highly hope herein that this book will be the first step or the
first book if you study thoroughly, it will be beneficial for the higher study
of Dharma aspects for certainly.
