## ⚖️ License & Philosophy

## 🙏 Credits, Acknowledgements & Dedication

**Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammasambuddhassa**

This dataset is a digital tribute to the profound wisdom preserved by the **Noble Order of the Sangha**. All merit and credit for this work belong to the Great Teachers and the devoted community who have protected these teachings through the ages.

We offer our deepest homage and gratitude to:

1.  **The Venerable Sayadaws and Mahatheras**: The distinguished monks and learned scholars who, with great wisdom and compassion, translated the profound Pali Canon into the Myanmar language.
2.  **The Custodians of the Texts**: The dedicated monks and lay devotees who facilitated the **Sixth Buddhist Council (Chattha Sangayana)** and other historic councils to purify and preserve the texts.
3.  **The Digital Dhammaduta (Volunteers)**: The countless unsung heroes—**scanners, typists, proofreaders, and editors**—who tirelessly converted physical palm-leaf manuscripts and printed books into digital text. Without their immense effort in typing and scanning, this dataset would not exist.
4.  **The Open Source Maintainers**: Special gratitude to **[pndaza](https://github.com/pndaza)** and contributors. Their technical dedication to maintaining the digital Tipitaka files provided the foundation for this JSONL conversion.
    *   *Source Repository:* [https://github.com/pndaza](https://github.com/pndaza)

**Dataset Creator:**
*   **freococo**: I am merely a humble language enthusiast who fell in love with the beauty of these texts. My only role was to convert these sacred teachings into a machine-readable format to assist in preservation and study. I claim no ownership over this wisdom; I am simply a bridge between the ancient texts and modern technology.

*May this work contribute to the longevity of the Sasana.*

## 💻 How to Use & Filter

You can load the dataset using the Hugging Face `datasets` library. Since the Canon and Commentaries are labeled in the `category` field, you can easily filter them.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# 1. Load the full dataset
dataset = load_dataset("freococo/tipitaka_myanmar_translation_books", split="train")

# 2. Filter for Canon only (The 46 Tipitaka Books)
# We exclude items where the category contains "အဋ္ဌကထာ" (Commentary)
canon_only = dataset.filter(lambda x: "အဋ္ဌကထာ" not in x['category'])

# 3. Filter for Commentaries only (The 14 Atthakatha Books)
commentaries = dataset.filter(lambda x: "အဋ္ဌကထာ" in x['category'])

# Print stats
print(f"Total rows: {len(dataset)}")
print(f"Canon rows: {len(canon_only)}")
print(f"Commentary rows: {len(commentaries)}")
```
