(5) International Tipitaka Chanting
The International Tipitaka Chanting Council was established in 2006, B.E. 2550
It has organized Annual Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony at/under the Sacred Bodhi Tree.
In 2013, the 9th Annual International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony was held at/under the Sacred Bodhi Tree from December 2nd – 13th, 2013. Sangha, devotees, and volunteers from ten countries participated.
It was the second consecutive year that the Sangha from Myanmar undertook the task as main organizer.
In 2014, the First International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony in America Dedicated to World Peace and Inner Harmony was held on October 9, 10 and 11, 2014 at Allston Way, Berkley, California.
U Jotalankara, Chief Resident Monk, Dhammananda Vihara was requested to take part and also give a speech. I edited Sayadaw’s speech.
(6) TEDx Yangon
By Thiri Thant Mon (Organizer)
Even if you impact one person – it’s worth it.
I heard this from a veteran TEDx organiser. He said it was about seeing the light of understanding, the light of passion shine in people’s eyes. Last Saturday, 6 October 2018, we hosted our third TEDx event. As I scanned the audience from backstage, those flickers of light told me – hey, it was worth it!
When I started my TEDx journey, I thought I will do it for three years – enough for the movement to gain some momentum. In the weeks leading up to each event, I am convinced I am crazy. I have a demanding career, two young children, responsibilities from other philanthropic projects I support. So many balls in the air that I cannot drop and TEDx takes so much time and effort.
I started TEDx because of my passion for knowledge and freedom of ideas, the desire to stimulate positive conversations in Myanmar. To give a literal stage for ideas that people have not heard before. And because deep down, I believe it matters to our society.
Along the way, I gained something unexpected. I discovered amazing people who became great friends. My fellow team members – present and past – who are as crazy as I am to give time, so much of it, and pour passion and professionalism into our endeavor. Our awe-inspiringly brave speakers. Our enthusiastic volunteers. Patrons offering support. TEDsters and TEDxers, a global community of dreamers who are doers, liberals who are realists. My tribe.
People who know me best know that I am a passionate individual. They also tell me they have never seen me more happy and passionate than when I talk about TEDx. My eyes light up and my face glows.
It is the flicker in my own eyes and the impact TEDx Yangon has on me, that makes it all worth it. Bring on year four!
Sayama Daw Tin Tin Myint (Emma, ChE69) wrote :
Thiri Thant Mon is the daughter of U Sann Aung (USA Photo, M74). She is the niece of Sayama Emma and Daw Than Than Yi (T71, GBNF).
(7) Min Ko Naing’s Talk
Min Ko Naing is the pen name of Paw Oo Tun (author, artist, student activist).
He was a 3rd year student at RASU, when he became a student leader of the 8-8-88 movement.
He visited the San Francisco Bay Area twice.
The first time, he talked about the injustice system and the brutal regimes.
The second time, he & Aw Pi Kye were Speakers for the SF Bay Area Annual Talks 2018.
Anecdote
A political prisoner begged his prison mates to give him a pain reliever.
Most people did not have courage to provide one.
One had cetana & courage, but lacked medical knowledge. He gave Buspro to the wailing prisoner, who was relieved of pain forever.
Edu & Social Systems
He recounted his observations of the educational & social systems of the countries that he had visited.
He was impressed with some systems which take the nursery children out into the open and teach lessons from nature, and those that allow students to pursue any combination of subjects provided they envision a problem to solve using the mix.
He lamented about how most parents & students in Myanmar prepare at all costs for that “all important Matric exam” to pursue two or three high profile professions.
Feedback from a Senior
The talk is more suitable for the general audience in Myanmar.
Kudos to the activist turned “evangelist for critical thinking and social change”.
Updates
Pandemic caused the cancellation of SPZP-2020.
SPZP-2016 will be remembered for the All Day Event at Gyogone Campus with Free Food for Breakfast, Lunch & Gathering.
Several Sayas and Alumni — including Organizers & Sponsors — are GBNF.
Some Sayas & Alumni have medical problems — decline in physical & mental health. They cannot travel far. They cannot sit for a long period. They can trip or fall with serious consequences.
Several top students from the 1st BE Intake in 1964 are GBNF. Tommy Shwe (Badminton) & Peter Pe (Swimming & Water Polo) passed away unexpectedly. Cho Aye (Hiking, Group Organizer) and Steeve Kay (Multiple Golden Sponsor) had medical problems.
Over 40% of 69ers are GBNF.
I was Interpreter for some of Beelin Sayadaw’s dhamma talks at TMC. I visited him at Hse Mile Gone & Panditarama. He recently passed away.
U Nay Oke (St. Paul’s) talked about Two Poets at TEDx-InyaLake.
I met Aw Pi Kye twice during his trip to the USA with Min Ko Naing. First in Fremont at the start of their trip. Second in Los Angeles at the tail end of their trip. APK was delighted that the End of the Buddhist Lent was near, and that he would be able to drink alcohol freely again (since Waso).

The Burmese version of the Book was published by YMBA (Young Men’s Buddhist Association) in 1951.
Mahagandayone Sayadaw
YMBA requested Mahagandayone Sayadaw Ashin Janakabhivamsa မဟာဂန္ဓာရုံဆရာတော်to write a brief “History of Buddhism” and Artist Saya U Ba Kyi ဦးဗကြည်to provide illustrations.
U Ba Kyi observed eight precepts for 45 days before undertaking the project.
In 1953, U Ba Kyi gained international reputation.
In 1954, YMBA published an addendum (English translation of Sayadaw’s text in Burmese) for readers who are not conversant in Burmese.
TBSA
Illustrated History of Buddhism
Dhammananda Sayadaw U Silanandabhivamsa sought permission from YMBA to reprint the book with descriptions in both Burmese/Myanmar and English.
In 1994, the book was printed and published in the US and was distributed by TBSA (Theravada Buddhist Society of America).
Several books were left. Some were handed as prizes for the successful participants of the “Summer Dhamma Class / Camp”.
Missed Opportunity
An Arts professor from Stanford University expressed desire to use “The Illustrated History of Buddhism” as a text for his course provided the book can be “ordered” from the University Book Shop.
Since the book was meant for dhamma dana, the book had no ISBN (International Standard Book Number) that is used by book shops.
Miscellaneous
There have been some requests to reprint the book.
There are probably newer reprints of the book and/or PDF version of Saya U Ba Kyi’s drawings.
U Ba Kyi
Saya translated a verse of the song “Hna yauk hte nay gin de” while invigilating an examination at the Institute of Education.
Dr. Maung Maung Kha used to accompany Saya U Ba Kyi’s vocals with his violin at the functions (mostly at Rangoon University Ah Nu Pyinnya Ah Thin).

Updates
Saya was my mentor at RIT and UCC.
He offered me and Saya U Aung Zaw (UCC, GBNF) to be his co-authors. We wrote programming texts, manuals and guides.
Saya was a prime mover to get the “RIT Alumni International Newsletters” and http://www-ex-rit.org started.
Saya would mention that I am a “Shay Hmi; Nauk Hmi. ရှေ့မှီ၊ နောက်မှီ”
Sayagadaw added: “Bay Hmi ဘေးမှီ as well’.
Saya wrote articles for the RIT Newsletter and selected journals & magazines. They can be accessed via SCRIB-D
There were two Sayas named Hunter at the University of Rangoon.
Matthew Hunter taught Physics and Chemistry, and also studied Geology. He served as Principal of Rangoon College. He tried to persuade the student leaders of the 1936 RU Strike. The students explained, “We are not protesting you. We are protesting to have changes to the University Act.” He loved the students very much. Tears fell when he had to bid farewell after retiring from Rangoon University.
Some awards (given out at the early Convocations) are named after “Matthew Hunter”.
Mark Hunter (John Mark Hunter) taught and wrote on English Literature. He was a member of the Commission responsible for the implementation of the Rangoon University Act of 1920. He later served as Professor at RU.
Judson
Andoniram Judson Jr. (1788 – 1850) was the most significant American Baptist Missionary to Burma. His supervisors told him that it would be a tough task. There were a few ABMs before him, but they did not stay long.
Judson and his team (which included some former dhamma teachers) compiled the English-Burmese and Burmese-English Dictionaries (see photos of two editions).
Dictionary 1Dictionary 2
Judson published the Burmese translation of the Bible.
He helped found the association for Baptists.
He is honored by having a church and a college named after him.
In 1920, Judson Collegeand Rangoon College became constituent colleges of the newly established University of Rangoon.
Two buildings for Judson College were donated by the American Baptists.
The Willington Hall was built in memory of two families — the Vintons and the Johnsons — of the Church of Willington for their missionary work in Burma. It was later known as Dagon Hall.
The Benton Hall was donated by Ms. Benton (Treasurer of the Judson Church and/or Judson College). It was later known as Thiri Hall.
Note: Depending on the period, a Hall may house classrooms or may be used as a hostel. There was also a building named North Hall (which later became Shwebo Hall).
Examples of evolution of halls
Mandalay Hall was a Residence Hall.
After the “Dark Days” (7th July and 8th July 1962), several Residence Halls were converted into Admin Offices and/or Classrooms.
Mandalay Hall was a temporary home for the UCC project before moving to Thamaing College Campus.
Geology majors had most of their classes at Mandalay Hall.
G-Hall in the Gyogone Campus initially housed single sayas.
In November 1964, G-Hall became a resident hall for female students. Madan Chand (C70) was inadvertently listed to reside at G-Hall. Lyo Kyin Sein (T69) was inadvertently listed to attend at a men’s Hall (e.g. C-Block)
Burmese
In the early days, several languages (e.g. Pali) were taught by the Department of Oriental Studies.
Sayagyi U Pe Maung Tin (Pali and Burmese Scholar) proposed to have a separate Burmese Department.
Sayagyi translated Pali books (e.g. Visuddhi Magga) and Suttas (e.g. Dhammacakka and Anattalekkhana) into English.
ICS U Sein Tin (Theikpan Maung Wa), U Thein Han (Zawgyi) and U Wun (Minthuwun) were the early Burmese (Honors) students of Sayagyi. The trio is also known as co-founders of the Khit San Sar Pay movement.
U Sein Tin was a victim of a bungled burglary or the case of mistaken identity.
U Thein Han was offered to do Masters by both the Burmese Department and the English Department, but he chose to study Library Science in the UK. He succeeded U Khin Zaw as Chief Librarian of the Rangoon University Central Library.
U Wun studied Linguistics and Literature in the UK. He headed the Translation Department at the University of Rangoon. He later served as Professor of the Burmese Department, and as Visiting Professor at the University of Osaka at the invitation of Professor Harada (pen name : Chit Mann Nwe). He is the father of U Htin Kyaw (former President).
In December 2019, the Myanmar Sar Htar Na (Burmese Department) unveiled a statue honoring Sayagyi.
Met Daw Tin Tin Myaing (Brenda Pe Maung Tin, Sayagyi’s daughter) at Winner Inn. She attended the unveiling of Sayagyi’s statue. She was also a guest at the Fund Raising Concert for RU Centennial. Two friends mentioned that his spouse (an Old Paulian) passed away in UK during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some Posts
Per Hlaing Bwa : According to a “Shay Hmi Nauk Hmi” Saya, U Chit was detained for “providing food to the University Student Protesters”. He was questioned repeatedly for the rationale of his work. He wrote, “The students are my benefactors. I therefore need to repay their kindness in times of need.” Finally, a relative with connections managed to secure the release of U Chit. Sadly, he passed away 8 months later. He is an “unsung hero.”
Per Myo Thaik : He witnessed the “Tha Dar Phyu” (later referred to as “Tha Dar Ni”) incident and endured a tear gas bomb. His posts are based not only on his experience (recorded as dairy entries), but also on other sources : Gabriel (Thet Tun) and a post from the on-line forum.
