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.

[59] Thereupon, the deities observed the Elder Ānanda’s intention and at that very moment made that great cemetery free of stones, pebbles and gravel.  It was sprinkled about with sandal-water and perfumed with fragrant incense.  It had portals with hoisted flags and banners.  On it were fastened clusters of festoons of cloth.  It was bestrewn with very variegated and fragrant flowers.  It was very pleasant like the Nandana park of the gods.  In it was prepared for the Elder Ānanda a great lion-throne which was ornamented with special decorations, embellished with inlays of various jewels, divine, entirely in gold, and equipped with a foot-stool.  Divine seats were also prepared for those five hundred Arhats.  Thereupon, the Elder Ānanda descended from the sky and sat upon that throne.  Those 500 Arhats, too, descended and sat upon the seats that had been prepared (for them).
