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.

[57] Then, with an excess of lustre like the unblemished orb of the autumn moon, like the sun closely surrounded by a mass of twilight clouds, his figure shining intensely as if it were the amassed splendour of the entire world, surpassing the radiance of the sun with his own majesty, and surrounded by 500 Arhats, the Elder Ānanda arrived there, and remaining just in the sky, spoke to the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa:

"Dear Child, very rarely do Tathāgatas arise in the world; teachers of gods and men, endowed with vision, and with their passions overcome; (1) who make known the law which removes all suffering, and which pertains to suffering, the arising of suffering, the overcoming of suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path, peaceful and leading to Nirvāṇa. (2) While this law that dispels all suffering is being preached (people) are not reborn, having destroyed ignorance with knowledge." (3)
