I still have a few more to do: Āhāra Dīpanī, Nibbāna Dīpanī, and a few others.“About 2,000 students attended the lectures delivered daily by the Venerable Sankyaung Sayādaw. One day the Venerable Sayādaw set in Pāḷi 20 questions on the perfections (pāramī) and asked all the students to answer them. None of them except Bhikkhu Nyāṇa could answer those questions satisfactorily.” He collected all these answers and when he attained 14 Rains (vassa), and while he was still in San-kyaung monastery, he published his first book, A Manual of the Perfections (Pāramī Dīpanī).”
Thank you, Bhante.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:I have added A Manual of the Perfections (Pāramī Dīpanī) to my web site, and updated all of the pages for Venerable Ledi Sayādaw, Mahāsi Sayādaw, and my own books.
This latest addition may be of interest only to scholars. It has been sitting on my various computers for about thirty years, so I thought it was about time it was edited and published.I still have a few more to do: Āhāra Dīpanī, Nibbāna Dīpanī, and a few others.“About 2,000 students attended the lectures delivered daily by the Venerable Sankyaung Sayādaw.

As usual, please let me know about broken links, and other errors.

I will upload more, and update existing files as time allows. If you're interested, visit this folder:
http://www.aimwell.org/LediSayadaw/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Browse to http://www.aimwell.org/LediSayadaw/Suttanipata" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and download any of the files there. They are in Open Document *.odt format so should open in OpenOffice or LibreOffice (and Word?)
I have done only preliminary editing thus far to convert some diacritical marks to Unicode encoding, but it's already enough to read them. They use Linux fonts, which you will no doubt have already if you have LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Any good Unicode font would do for reading the Pāḷi.
