Yangon, 29 Dec - The opening ceremony of the 55th
Tipitakadhara Tipitakakovida Selection Examination was
held at the Wizayamingala Dhammathabin on Thirimingala
Kaba Aye Hill here this morning, and Chairman of
Yangon Division Peace and Development Council
Commander of Yangon Command Maj-Gen Myint Swe and
Minister for Religious Affairs U Aung Khin supplicated
on religious matters.
The ceremony was opened with the three-time recitation
of Namo Tassa while Staff Officer of RAD U Tun Naing
acted as master of ceremonies.
Chairman of Tipitaka-dhara Selection Ovadacariya
Committee Abhidhaja Maha Rattha Guru Mawlamyine Webyan
Sarthintaik Sayadaw Bhaddanta Vijayabhivamsa invested
the congregation with the Five Precepts and members of
the Sangha recited parittas.
Then, Secretary of State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee
Abhidhaja Maha Rattha Guru Abhidhaja Agga Maha
Saddhammajotika Magway Sayadaw Bhaddanta Kumara read
the Ovadakatha of Chairman of State Sangha Maha Nayaka
Committee Abhidhaja Maha Rattha Guru Abhidhaja Agga
Maha Saddhammajotika Myingyan Sayadaw Bhaddanta
Sobhita. The Sayadaw said the Tipitakadhara
Tipitakakovida Selection Examination has been held for
55 times since 1300 ME.
The original objectives of the examination are to turn
out talented and brilliant persons and members of the
Sangha in flourishing period of Buddha Sasana, to
support Pariyatti Sasana at highest level and to turn
out brilliant persons who can recite Pitaka orally.
Only six candidates took the first Tipitakadhara
Tipitakakovida Selection Examination but no one passed
it. Five candidates sat for the second examination and
one Visittha Vinayadhara title recipient turned out.
Nineteen candidates out of 29 took the 10th
examination. In 1343 ME, the State Sangha Maha Nayaka
Committee announced that the candidates can recite the
five treatises of Vinaya by two parts.
Therefore the number of the candidates who are
interested in learning by heart has increased
gradually. According to the verse of step-mother
Gotami those who are innocent have opportunity to hear
and learn the noble teachings of Lord Buddha. They are
powerful people with good deed. The candidates who
learn the teachings of Buddha by heart are talented
and brilliant members of the Sangha according to the
first original objectives of the examination.
The Sayadaw urged the candidates not only to learn
Vinaya and Abhidhamma but also practise them. By doing
so, they will gain better results, the Sayadaw said.
The government and wellwishers who donate provisions
to members of the Sangha taking the Tipitakadhara
Tipitakakovida Selection Examination are powerful
persons. Perpetuation of the Sasana will be forever
with the support of the wellwishers, the Sayadaw
added. Supplicating on religious affairs, Commander
Maj-Gen Myint Swe said that Theravada Buddha Sasana
has been flourishing in the Union of Myanmar, adding
that senior Sayadaws at different eras have been
lecturing on Pitaka Treatise and trainee monks have
been learning the treatise so as to purify, propagate
and perpetuate the Theravada Buddha teachings, thus
contributing to constant flourishing of the Pariyatti
Sasana. The State Pariyatti Sasana University was the
centres of learning the high level Pariyatti treatise.
Pahtamapyan Examination, Dhammacariya Examination,
Nikaya Examination and Tipitakadhara Tipitakakovida
Selection Examination being conducted by the
Government reflected the efforts of Pariyatti
Sarthintaiks the length and breadth of the nation. Out
of Pariyatti Examinations, Tipitakadhara
Tipitaka-kovida Selection Examination could be
attributed to the main Sasana examination since the
candidates have to appear for both writing and oral
tests on Tripitaka and Five Nikaya Desana delivered by
Buddha, according to the teachings of Sayadaws, he
said.
Tipitakadhara Tipitaka-kovida Selection Examination
has entered its 54th Anniversary and there were 155
monks who had passed the examination both oral and
writing tests in Tripitaka, Dwipitaka, Ekapitaka and
Nikaya and 604 monks who had passed the examination in
oral test in those subjects. There are 154 candidate
monks who are to sit for the oral test of the 55th
Tripitaka Tipitakakovida Selection Examination and 105
candidate monks who are to appear for the written test
of the examination.
In conclusion, the commander wished the candidate
monks who are going to sit for the 55th Tipitaka
Tipitakakovida Selection Examination which is the main
Sasana examination mentally and physically happy and
be paid respects at the ceremony to honour the 55th
Tipitaka Tipitakakovida Selection Examination. Then,
Minister U Aung Khin supplicated on religious matters.
He said that there were Patiyatti Sasana, Patipatti
Sasana and Pativeda Sasana in Buddha Sasana left by
Lord Buddha. Pariyatti Sasana which is the main source
of teachings of treatise plays a key role in the
purification, perpetuation and propagation of the
Sasana.
The gratitude of the members of the Sangha who had
preserved and safeguarded the purification,
perpetuation and propagation of the Buddha teachings,
the backbone of Buddha Sasana administered by Buddha,
is very huge. If there is weakness in safeguarding
Pariyatti Sasana, Patipatti Sasana will fade away. In
Myanmar, there are Theravada Buddha Sasana and members
of the Sangha with a sense of duty, Pariyatti Sasana
has strongly come in existence at different eras.
State Pariyatti Sasana Universities in Yangon and
Mandalay and Pariyatti Sarthintaiks in States and
Divisions reflect the strong Pariyatti Sasana. The
Tipitaka Tipitakakovida Selection Examination is the
most difficult one since mental and physical strength
will have to be used to the most possible degree.
The Tipitaka Tipitaka-kovida Selection Examination
which emerged together with Myanmar Independence in
1948 has entered its the 55th anniversary, he said and
wished the candidate monks to easily appear for the
examination and become those who passed the Tripitaka,
Dwipitaka and Ekapitaka tests and could shoulder the
duty of Sasana. Then, Staff Officer of Yangon Division
Religious Affairs Department U San Thin Hlaing invited
the candidates respectfully.
Next, the commander, the minister, the deputy minister
and officials presented robes and offertories to
members of the Sangha. The ceremony ended with
three-time recitation of Buddha Sasanan ?iram
Titthatu. After the ceremony, in memory of U Kyin
Kok-Daw Phwa Kyi and U Mon Tit-Daw Myint Sein and U
Myint Wai, the family of U Kyin Kok-Daw Phwa Kyi of No
37, 12th Street, Lanmadaw Township, offered robes,
blankets and "soon" to members of the Sangha and lay
