Publication of the Second Section of the Great Chronicles

Link to The Great Chronicles of the Buddhas

 

For about 18 months now I have been working on a revision of The Great Chronicles of the Buddhas by Mingun Sayādaw, which tells nearly all that is known about the Buddhas and their disciples in the Theravāda tradition.

Mingun Sayādaw was the vissajjana who answered the questions at the 6th council, and was chosen for that work as he had memorised the whole Tipiṭaka, and the commentarial system that accompanies it.

Around a month or so ago, I published all the material up and till the Bodhisatta became a Buddha. With this new publication the story is taken up to the end of the first 20 years of his teaching career (paṭhama-bodhi), which means around 1,200+ pages (out of an approx. 3,000 pages) in my edition have now been published.

As this is an ongoing publication it is available only in html online at present. Eventually, when the whole document is ready, it will be published as PDF and EPUB as well. I have prepared a publication schedule, which can be found in the Preface to my Revised Edition, which also explains the changes that have been made in the present edition.
