Upasakajanalankara

I was wondering if anyone has read Upasakajanalankara : a critical edition and study by H. Saddhatissa. The Upasakajanalankara is a medieval pali manual based on the Buddhas teachings for the laity.

No. Looks like I'd need to learn Pali first... :reading:

I don't know, but I suspect that Venerable Saddhātissa's "Buddhist Ethics" was based to some extent at least on the Upasakajanalankara. I say that because if he was editing and researching the Pali text it would be a natural progression to translate it or write a exegesis.

You can read more about it here. A translation might be of interest if anyone wants a project.

I couldnt find the book in the CSCD4 Pitaka — not even amoung the Other works.

That is really dissapointing that this is not a word for word translation as i thought it was. Someone really should translate this important text for the laity.

I am strongly considering buying this text from pariyatti and doing my own translation. Does anyone know any good pali to english resources either book form or online? I have never done any translating and If anyone would like to help or offer suggestions please let me know.
