I have now made a new ITM font, which is Unicode-compliant. See the Fonts & Downloads page for details. I have also updated the conversion script which now works much better than before. 

Bhikkhu Pesala, who first requested the pages be made available in Unicode, has also very kindly made an ITM_Verajja font, which has a much more extensive character set (991 glyphs as against 336 in ITM_TFY_UNI). If you are going to use Unicode then I strongly suggest you install one or other of these fonts.

January, 2010: 

The earliest recorded discourses of the Buddha are found in narratives detailing his early career, not long after the Awakening. We have three main sources for a record of this period, they are the Lalitavistara, the Mahakhandaka, and the Mahavastu. The translations collected here draw upon all three sources, to compile the first four recorded discourses given by the Buddha, together with their introductory stories.
