A Chant Has Nine Lives
> Translators of short Buddhist chants in Southeast Asia, including Hộ Tông and his Siamese and Khmer predecessors, tend to follow three unstated principles: > 1. the translation may be longer than its source, but rarely vice versa > 2. even when translated into the vernacular, the Pali source ought to be retained, and > 3. the resulting bilingual Pali-vernacular chant should bring its performance practices—gestures, melodies, and rhythms—into harmony.

Bilingualism: Theravāda bitexts across South and Southeast Asia
> The bilingual character of Theravāda Buddhism is no accident. It emerges from deliberate cultivation by Buddhist intellectuals in these regions over the past two millennia. The Theravāda transmission of texts is notably bilingual; scriptures in Pāli are often accompanied by vernacular translations and Pāli-vernacular bilingual texts, or “bitexts.”

They were more reactive to PME when they experienced unpleasant affect, and when they were hurried or tired.

The Two Versions of the Other Translation of Saṃyuktāgama
> The *Other Translation of Saṃyuktāgama* 別譯雜阿含經 exists in two versions. > The version preserved as text no. 100 in the Taishō edition of the Chinese canon is divided into sixteen fascicles, a format carried over from the Korean edition on which the compilers of the Taishō mainly relied. > The other version, found in most editions produced in China itself, is instead divided into twenty fascicles. > These two versions contain almost the same collection of sūtras, but differ in their arrangement. > As regards the grouping into *Saṃyuktas*, the twenty-fascicle version is in good order while the sixteen-fascicle version is in disarray. > This article examines the proposition by Anesaki (1908) that the sixteen-fascicle version resulted from accidental disarrangement of a text that closely resembled the twenty-fascicle version, and seeks to identify how and when this could have come about.

[...] Attending cockfights and participating in them is, for the Balinese, a kind of sentimental education.
