The Pali canon is a complete collection of the Buddha’s Teachings and is almost certainly the oldest collection of Buddhist literature available today. To know the Buddha’s Teachings well one has to learn Pali, Prakrit and Sanskrit.

Myanmar culture is based on the Buddhist culture. The Myanmar Buddhists practice the Buddhist virtues actively in their daily lives. The Department of “Oriental Studies” tries to make known the Buddha’s Teachings, history and culture of Buddhism and to encourage the study and practice of the Buddha’s Teachings.
