We are delighted to share some news regarding the recording and preservation of the Buddha's invaluable words, the Tripitaka. As you may know, this process is vital to ensuring that profound teachings remain accessible to future generations. Today, we would like to highlight the three essential steps involved in this endeavor. We seek your support in acquiring an improved setup for our recording efforts.

Step 1: Setting up live recordings with multiple cameras

To capture the Buddha's sermons and teachings accurately, we must employ a state-of-the-art multi-camera live recording setup. This arrangement will allow us to capture the essence of the teachings from different angles, providing a comprehensive viewing experience. Additionally, by editing recordings in real time, we can significantly increase our daily output while keeping data consumption low.

Step 2: Editing and storage with a server

Once sermons are recorded, the next crucial step is to edit and store them effectively. With a reliable server, we can organize, categorize, and archive recorded material efficiently. This process ensures easy accessibility, preserves teachings in their purest form, and safeguards against valuable content loss.

We are pleased to inform you that Reverend Talgamuwe Sudhirananda initiated this significant undertaking in 2018. To date, more than 1,000 sermons have been diligently stored on hard disks. However, recognizing the potential risks associated with relying solely on a physical drive, we now aim to transfer these precious recordings to a dedicated server. This shift will ensure their long-term preservation, as such a hard disk loss would be truly irreplaceable.

Looking ahead, Reverend Talgamuwa Lord Sudhirananda has committed to teaching the final round starting in April 2023. It is of the utmost importance that we have the necessary equipment and support to record and preserve these teachings for all. To that end, the Kinthulagala Aranya Senasanastha Media Unit is reaching out to compassionate and dedicated contributors within our community.

We request your assistance in finding the most recent recording setup. This is vital for capturing and safeguarding the upcoming teaching season. Your contributions will play an invaluable role in ensuring the preservation of Buddha's wisdom for generations. Together, let us embrace this noble cause and fulfill our duty to pass on enlightenment to future practitioners.

If you wish to be a part of this endeavor or have questions, please reach out to us at the Kinthulagala Buddhist Media Network. Your support and dedication are deeply appreciated.

With warm regards.
