Presentation of Visuddhi Magga by Bhikkhu Buddhaghosa to Great Maha Thera Elders at Mahavihara, the stronghold of Theravada Buddhism.

In order to gain permission to translate the ancient Sinhala commentaries left by Arahant Mahinda Thera and ancient monks, he was requested to write a book based on a single four sentenced Gatha from Samyutta Nikaya.

He wrote first book of Visuddhi Magga, then hidden away by multitudes of Devas. Then he proceed to write the second copy, it too hidden by the Devas, then he wrote the third copy, present to the Elders of Mahavihara. The Devas returned to two copies. Those Maha Theras of Mahavihara, upon receiving three copies of Visuddhi Magga, after reading and checking, accepted them and was elated that there were no changes of texts or terminology in between the three copies.

Then, Mahaviharavins permitted Bhikkhu Buddhaghosa to translate all ancient commentaries to Pali language, the Saka nirutti.
Such is the wisdom and potency of Bhandatacariya Buddhaghosa Thera.

A relatively remote forest monastery (meditation center) in Myanmar, that I just came across on the internet. The compound is said to be quite big: 200 acres (81 hectares). I haven't found much info, apart from it being a very cool & pleasant place, and some directions to get there.

on the poster... I think it is written, that the poster was made about the guidance of Tibetan Buddhist masters.
