| Mar 10, 2012 at 7:10 | comment | added | Questioner | Thanks for adding the readings. I moved them into being furigana by enclosing them in squiggly brackets: { }. The advantage of this is that people can use the options settings at the bottom of the page to turn them off entirely if they don't need them. | |

Moved hiragana readings into furigana.

| Mar 9, 2012 at 22:52 | comment | added | Bathrobe | My suggestion on Chinese was a little misguided. Many of those terms are, indeed, actually Chinese in origin, but that isn't going to help you find an English translation. I looked in some of my general Chinese dictionaries and they were not helpful. The problem is that the language is specialised, so specialised dictionaries are likely to be more helpful. | |

| Mar 9, 2012 at 2:52 | comment | added | Julien Bourdon | @Bathrobe Could be a good idea. Do you know of any good chinese dictionaries? I'm using this one: mdbg.net/chindict at the moment. | |
| Mar 8, 2012 at 12:45 | comment | added | Bathrobe | I think you also need to check out the language of Chinese Buddhism. Many of those terms are Chinese. For instance, most Chinese cities even now have a 鼓楼 or drum tower. | |

| Mar 7, 2012 at 16:29 | comment | added | Julien Bourdon | @sawa Indeed, I'm digging through a spreadsheet listing all the temples in Luang Prabang, Laos. So I guess these terms were made up to translate something that was described in Lao originally. | |
| Mar 7, 2012 at 16:27 | comment | added | Julien Bourdon | @DaveMG I added the furigana. Indeed,火葬場 is crematorium but that's also the place where they hold the burial ceremony in South-East Asian Buddhist temples, that's why I translated it as funeral hall (mentioned as funeral hall in several references too) | |

Added furigana

| Mar 7, 2012 at 15:25 | comment | added | user458 | Some words are awkward (e.g., 普通教育学校), and some sound not like a single word but like a temporarily made up expression (e.g., 仏塔式納骨塔, 壁式納骨所, 洞窟内仏像祭壇). | |

| Mar 7, 2012 at 14:41 | comment | added | Questioner | Also, I think 火葬場 is "crematorium", not "funeral hall", but maybe the context you're coming from changes it. | |
| Mar 7, 2012 at 14:39 | comment | added | Questioner | For the benefit of other people who would be interested in these words, please add furigana. :) | |

Edited according to results found in Buddhist dictionary

| Mar 7, 2012 at 14:04 | comment | added | Julien Bourdon | Thank you very much for the link! It helped with "結界石" which is apparently translated as "rules tablet". It might be the time to visit the South-East Asian Studies department of my local university :) | |
