Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

[126] Then, the Elder Ānanda, with a religious discourse, instructed, incited, inflamed and delighted that assembly including the king bowed to by those hundreds of thousands of deities and by hundreds of thousands of beings resident in Rājagṛha, he rose from his seat and departed.  Thus, an act towards the Fortunate, the Awakened One, however small, bears great fruit.

Whatever states of being arise from a cause, of them the Tathāgata has declared the cause, as also the suppression thereof. Thus does the Great Ascetic propound. (1)

[127] This is the meritorious gift of Buddhākaragupta, the Śākya-monk who follows the excellent path of the Great Vehicle. May whatever merit lies herein accrue towards the attainment of supreme wisdom by the entire multitude of beings headed by teachers, instructors and parents!
