Description:
Included in the Tipiṭaka only in Myanmar, the Nettippakaraṇa and Peṭakopadesa occupy a liminal space in Pali literature between the Tipiṭaka proper and the aṭṭhakathā commentaries. Despite their early reception in European scholarship as aṭṭhakathās themselves, Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli (1962) argues that the Nettippakaraṇa and Peṭakopadesa are rather guides for would-be commentators. While the Nettippakaraṇa has a “proper” aṭṭhakathā attributed to Dhammapāla, the Peṭakopadesa was without a known aṭṭhakathā until 1926, when the Burmese-scholar monk and pioneer of the modern, reform-style vipassanā mediation movement, the Mingun Jetavana Sayadaw (1868-1955), composed his Peṭakopadesa-aṭṭhakathā. This talk will focus on the enigmatic Peṭakopadesa-aṭṭhakathā written by the Mingun Jetavana, a second-order exegesis that animates the Mingun Jetavana’s later Milindapañhā-aṭṭhakathā, published in 1949. By analysing select translations of the Peṭ-a, I will explore how the Mingun Jetavana’s text exemplifies the ways that the Pali commentarial tradition was both reinforced and reimagined in twentieth-century Southeast Asia. I will leverage this material to raise meta-questions about the Pali commentarial project and explore the ways it has been theorized and practiced in the modern Theravāda context.
