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.

[1] Thus it is heard:  After the Elder, the Great Kāśyapa had entered into Nirvāṇa, the Elder Ānanda, magnanimous and endowed with wisdom equal to that of the Elder Śāradvatīputra, like the Tathāgata, out of compassion, instructed by various excellent means various people fit for instruction in various villages, cities, market-places, hamlets and towns.  In the course of time, he resided at Āmrapālī’s Grove in Vaiśālī refreshing, for the sake of conversion, many hundred thousand crores of beings by sprinkling showers of nectar of the preaching of the True Law.
