Bhante Gunaratana has revised some of the translations to make them more meaningful and accurate. The Vandana presents texts with Pali on the left page and English on the facing right page. We have made the effort to make this text useful to the student of Pali by hyphenating many compound words, placing key words in bold text, and correcting the Romanized text according to the most accurate and current sources.  Because of the high cost of printing and mailing, we are offering this book through a print-on-demand company: Lulu.com.  You can obtain a free download PDF file to use on your computer (through Lulu.com) or you can order a professionally printed paperback Vandana book—paying only Lulu’s printing and mailing cost, nothing for Bhavana Society.  Soft cover large type edition for chanting:  http://www.lulu.com/content/2100399 Soft cover 6’ x 9” edition:  http://www.lulu.com/content/4637518<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BhavanaSocietyNews/~4/LRCfN10Myas" height="1" width="1"/> Show_on_Site, RSS_email_Publish,vandana book, 2008-11-12T18:53:00-05:00 http://www.bhavanasociety.org/new/a_new_revised_and_expanded_version_of_the_bhavana_vandana_is_now_available/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BhavanaSocietyNews/~3/2FSE1wUDSbo/ Many visitors have found great benefit from using the library at the Bhavana Society.  From time to time people express an interest in donating books.  Now on the website we have a new Books to Donate page.  If you find a book on that list that you would like to donate just contact us.  And if you want to read it yourself before you donate it, that’s great too!  We also hope the list will be a small and changing look into what we see as interesting and important in the ever growing Buddhist book world.
