__________________
The Buddhist Institute was an initiative of King Sisovat in 1921, when he inaugurated the royal library, Khemra Bannalai which subsequently changed its name to Preah Raj Bannalai in 1925. Then in 1930, King Monivong established the Buddhist Institute. The responsibilities of the Institute were not only research into Cambodian literature, language and Buddhism, but also publication and education. In 1954 King Norodom Sihanouk linked the Buddhist Institute with Preah Sihanouk Raj Buddhist University. Major outputs for the Institute over the years have included:
- Kambuja Soriya: This magazine was established in 1926 and is still being published today. It features articles on culture, tradition, and religion, together with news from the Institute.
- The Tripitaka Scripture: The Tripitaka Commission was founded in 1929, with its main task to translate Buddhist scripture from Pali into Khmer. This was achieved in 1961 with the publication of the last of 110 volumes. Since then, the Tripitaka Commission has published commentaries and other titles relating to Buddhist scripture.
- Khmer Legends have been collected and published by Mores and Customs Commission, consisting of 9 volumes of tales. The first three books include tales of problems and their solution. Volumes 4, 5, and 6 illustrate tales relating to the history and geography of various localities. Volume 7 tells of the beginnings of animals and trees. Volume 8 tells of guardian spirits. Volume 9 tells of Cambodian traditions.
- Khmer dictionary, a major achievement and a reference source for Khmer literature researchers across the whole country. The first edition was prepared by His Eminence CHOUN NATH, Supreme Patriarch of Mahanikaya order and published in 1938.
- Currently, many documents are being collected to rebuild the Buddhist Institute’s collection, for the benefit of researchers locally. Research is also continuing on key Khmer culture issues, both historical, such as folk tales, or colonisation and contemporary subjects (Buddhism in the 21st century, or HIV/AIDS, for example)

Hallo Achim,
It is a beautiful architecture, very rich in its decoration and in its lines, and your setting catches it in all its majesty.
Excellent work with the exposure, with a good light and a few magnificent colors.
A great composition, my friend.

Bonjour Achim,
je trouve que tu aurais pu cadrer un peu plus haut, la route à l'avant plan n'offre pas d'intéret particulier.
Très belles couleurs qui tranchent bien les unes des autres.
Une photo très nette.
Best regards.

Hi Achim!
Very nice architecture and good pov. Colours and sharpness are also very good.

Hello Achim. Buddhists were celebrating Vesak Day yesterday and a place like this was packed with people. Stunning architecture shot against the clear spotless sky. Excellent sharpness and perspective of the shot. regards. Jusni

Hi Achim,
Nicely captured detail of the temple against the sky. I think I might have cropped out a bit more of the road.

Hallo Achim,
It's a beautiful view of that charming architecture, so typical of that part of the World. The great sharpness, the clarity and the well rendered colours make the building stand out, with those red roofs and the white walls making a nice contrast with the clear blue sky. I like also the flags waving.
The POV is ok, but it results in a strange perspective, that makes the building look tilted although it really isn't.
TFS, Lieben Gruss, José.

You came to Cambodia? You should have let me know. THis is a very nice shot with great contrast. I also like the colors. Well done. Sothy

Hi Achim, Stunning eastern architecture, strong colours & sharp focus, this is a great overall package, your POV shows the full building very well & the man on his moped adds welcomed scale, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Achim,

A really interesting architecture and well contrasted colors. I like much the clearness of the image which reinforces the smoothness of the building. Thank you for the note Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Hello Achim
Fine Cambodian architecture, traditional in form against the clear deep polarised sky. The details are excellent & clear. You could have cropped the road in the FG IMO. Good work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Well done! man.

The composition, POV and sharpness are all perfect!

Hi Achim,

The Buddhist institute is impressive. There seem to be an optical illusion some parts of the building are straight and level and others are leaning to the right. The point of view is leading our eyes toward the three towers. The light brings out the best of the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hi Achim,
Great blue sky you've captured as well as the POV.
I think the caption of this photo is wrong. This building is "New National Assembly" not "Buddhist Institute." Buddhist Institute is located at the left side of National Assembly.

Cheers,
LiM
