U Pe Maung Tin

Sayagyi U Pe Maung Tin was Professor of Pali and Burmese. He proposed to have Burmese as a separate department. His students include

• ICS U Sein Tin (Theikpan Maung Wa)
• U Thein Han (Zawgyi)
• U Wun (Minthuwun) 

Myanmar Sar Mi Thar Su had unveiled Sayagyi’s bust in the RU Main Campus.

He also served Principal of Rangoon College.

Two Sermons

U Tha Win requested Sayagyi to translate into English the two sermons that Buddha gave to his five disciples at the Deer Sanctuary.

• Dhammacakkapavattna Sutta is the first sermon delivered to the five disciples.
• Anatta Lekhanna Sutta is the follow up sermon given to the five disciples.

Note : Hemanwunta Sutta given to a celestial is considered as Buddha’s second sermon.

Saya U Aung Zaw (UCC) sent me an early version of the book. It has three columns :

• Pali
• Burmese
• English (translated by Sayagyi).

Dr. Kyaw Tint (Science Scholar for Physics) has an old worn-out copy of the book. He had typed a few verses and posted on his time line. Hope some reader has a good copy that is easy to scan.
