230 :Phra ~racha Pasannadhamnto<br />

<strong>The</strong> English text is ·much shorter and was <strong>the</strong> responsibility <strong>of</strong> a few Thai<br />

scholars who tried <strong>the</strong>ir best to present <strong>the</strong> Thai narration on <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Buddha<br />

written .in <strong>the</strong> archaic style <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> early Bangkok period to <strong>the</strong> English reading public.<br />

<strong>The</strong> photographers and designers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> book should indeed be commended in producing<br />

a beautiful book for us.<br />

Had all <strong>the</strong>se people taken <strong>the</strong>ir time in producing <strong>the</strong> book, we . would really<br />

have a. wonderful gift similar to th~ gift <strong>of</strong> Dhamma as expressed through <strong>the</strong> allegorical<br />

life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Buddha decorating <strong>the</strong> Preaching Hall <strong>of</strong> Wat Thongnopakun. As it is, it<br />

shows human imperfection, which can be improved.<br />
