So we sangha fixed Tipitaka - Pali canon, and we move it through the centuries. We have all copyrights for those texts. This mean we have all rights for translations also. For example if somebody will post Thai movie in different translation on youtube. The owener of rights for movie in original language can ban this movie in other languages, or get money for advertise which appeared, during watching of the movie, he can do whatever he want with translations of his movie. So I think same working for Sangha and her Pali tipitaka texts. We can share other translations wherever we want, we can delete e.t.c. This mean we can post texts like petakopadesa without permission. What do you think?

In the internet age, of course, it is different. We all have the tools for copying and distributing Buddhist texts. However, if we do this with copyright material, we are regarded as criminals, even though from our perspective we are simply doing what every generation of Buddhists has done.

I would argue that we should use this as an analogy for the Buddhist texts. The Sangha is the traditional custodian. Any use of such texts should be in conformity with the traditional values of the Sangha, i.e. it should not be restricted by copyright.

What it means is that there is no restriction placed on free distribution. Someone can choose to sell a published book, but the text is also available freely on the internet, etc. There is little or no evidence that doing this reduces the profitability of texts.

I think, to be copy righted the compilation has to be in writing.
If I just write a song in my mind it is not copy righted.
It will be copy righted only if I write that in a paper or electronic media etc.
Bhante Sujato can correct me if I am wrong.

And thanks for the link to the article. I agree with everything they say, in fact it sounds like something I might have written myself! While I have little experience outside the sphere of Buddhism, it seems that the legally baseless practice of making copyright claims on ancient texts is widespread.

I agree, as someone who has done both original creative work and translation, they are quite different kinds of things. The job of a translator is precisely to not express themselves, but to make themselves transparent so that the original text can speak through them. Nevertheless, that is the normal legal situation.

The situation is akin to normal academic publication, where typically neither the author nor the editor receives any financial compensation, and all of the revenue, as well as the ownership of copyright, goes to the big publishing houses. Who then charge 20 dollars or more to download a pdf, while reporting greater profit margins than oil companies or banks.

In digital models like lulu.com, the author retains the rights, and contracts the publisher to perform services for them. In this way, a translator can contract editorial service, proofreading, typesetting, distribution, publicity, and the regular services that a publisher performs. This seems to work fine.

a Sangha nonprofit might be a resource for monastics that educate them about protecting their work product from predatory practices, or give them direction as to how to publish their work in an ethical public domain forum, instead of turning to a for profit publisher.

One of the things I hope to see through SC is that our content and service is not merely convenient and free, but a higher quality than anything offered by commercial publishers. My hope is that over time we show that a first class resource can be developed in the public domain.

The irony is that this is already normal in plenty of non-Buddhist spheres: the single most installed and most powerful operating system ever is Linux, which is free and open source. 50% of computing devices use it, 97% of the internet, 98% of supercomputers, and so on. The digital world runs like it does because Linus Torvaldis decided to make his operating system free.

Tipitaka Pali Projector (TPP) is a very useful tool for reading pali. It is fully offline and has a useful dictionary UPED (Ultimate Pali English Dictionary) which has 168,000 words (15,000 more words will be added soon). The UPED is from the Myanmar Abhidhan dictionary which is based on commentary explanations. It is translated by Google, but 47,000 words have already been human edited. TPP is very useful for reading the commentaries. However, one can only open on screen at a time.

If you want to help, you can join the github group here:
This application will be replaced by TIpitaka Pali Reader (TPR) which is already in the iOS and Android Stores. It is written in Flutter and will eventually have many of the same features and be more modern.

I usually use both Firefox and the osApp together. There is a video to explain why. Alt + Tab is easy to switch between mula and commy. Video here: Using Mula and Aṭṭhakathā at the same time. (hack) - YouTube

A recent update has been made. 1.2.1 Hopefully you have that.
Also, if you know git, you can use the Firefox edition to get pre-release updates.
The idea is you just do a fetch or pull command, and it only needs to download the code changes.

Buddhist Legends and Jataka will be included for multiple word searching in English.
When this is complete (in one or two weeks), you will be able to search all vinaya, suttas, dhpA, jaA in English with multiple keywords all at the same time. It is coming very soon and already here for vinaya and sutta pitakas.

TPP will be a standard tool for those who do not know pāḷi. I will try to encourage acceptance of the Abhidhamma and commentaries, to be either be on the home screen or flash onscreen during startup.

Tipitaka means something in Buddhism, Pali, Hinduism, Sanskrit. If you want to know the exact meaning, history, etymology or English translation of this term then check out the descriptions on this page. Add your comment or reference to a book if you want to contribute to this summary article.

Tipitaka refers to the Buddhist (Pali) Canon. Literally, "three baskets," in reference to the three principal divisions of the Canon: the Vinaya Pitaka (disciplinary rules); Sutta Pitaka (discourses); and Abhidhamma Pitaka (abstract philosophical treatises).

Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).

Mahayana (महयन, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajāpāramitā sūtras.

Tripitaka in Sanskrit, Tipitaka in Pali. The three parts of Pali canon, consisting of: 1. Sutra Pitika (Sanskrit) or Sutta Pitaka (Pali), or the Sutra Basket - containing the entire , the sermons attributed to the Shakyamuni Buddha. 2. Vinaya Pitika (both Sanskrit and Pali), or the Ordinance Basket - containing the rules of monastic life. 3. Abhidharma Pitika (Sanskrit) or Abhidhamma Pitaka (Pali), or Shastras, or the Treatise Basket - containing the doctrinal commentaries, philosophical and technical works, such as discourses, discussions, or treatises on the dogma, doctrines, etc.

The Vinaya-Pitaka contains some of the oldest parts of the canon, which originated in the first decades after the death of the Buddha. After the split into individual schools, the Abhidharma-pitaka, which differs from school to school, was added.

Tripiṭaka (Pali: Tipitaka) is a Sanskrit word meaning Three Baskets. It is the traditional term used by Buddhist traditions to describe their various canons of scriptures. The expression Three Baskets originally referred to three receptacles containing the scrolls on which the Buddhist scriptures were originally preserved.[citation needed] Hence, the Tripiṭaka traditionally contains three "baskets" of teachings: a Sūtra Piṭaka (Sanskrit; Pali: Sutta Pitaka), a Vinaya Piṭaka (Sanskrit & Pali) and an Abhidharma Piṭaka (Sanskrit; Pali: Abhidhamma Piṭaka).

The term Tripiṭaka had tended to become synonymous with Buddhist scriptures, and thus continued to be used for the Chinese and Tibetan collections, although their general divisions do not match a strict division into three piṭakas. In the Chinese tradition, the texts are classified in a variety of ways, most of which have in fact four or even more piṭakas or other divisions.

The Chinese form of Tripiṭaka, "sānzng" (三藏), was sometimes used as an honorary title for a Buddhist monk who has mastered the teachings of the Tripiṭaka. In Chinese culture this is notable in the case of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, whose pilgrimage to India to study and bring Buddhist text back to China was portrayed in the novel Journey to the West as "Tang Sanzang" (Tang Dynasty Tripiṭaka Master). Due to the popularity of the novel, the term "sānzng" is often erroneously understood as a name of the monk Xuanzang. One such screen version of this is the popular 1979 Monkey (TV series).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
