I have answered your PM.

Yes, I have responded to it via PM, and will continue to do so if you wish. I'll not do that here, as I said, as it derails the thread. This is about AN3.61.

... Really! If Yahoo groups hadn't completely shut down last year, you could have read the discussion between Pind, Thiele & McClure*, on the Pali Discussion Group. * https://static.sirimangalo.org/DPR/content/grammar/compound.htm And you still haven't answered that petty point of grammar (comp...

I don't know - did he? Where? Do absolutives normally occur as first member in compounds? I don't know. But that's a different question from the one about Ole Holten Pind, isn't it? Do you have a reference, or could you copy and paste a chunk of text? Did you have a bad day? — Any problems? No, a p...

Dear all, Sometimes I find practice gets too overwhelming and I need to take a pauze. In that pauze I often indulge in entertainment. And then my "10minutes max!" breaks easily become hours or days. What is a skillful way to cool down or take a break when hardcore practice starts to feel ...

As for paṭicca, this is what it should be: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Paṭicca = pratītya :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Pratītya is the future passive participle of "pratī". Not the absolutive of pacceti , then? Sounds like AN 8.12 (quoted above) rebuts that a bit....

Welcome back, and many thanks.

All the English translations of the Bahiya Sutta (Ud. 1.10) that I have seen incorporate the term "in the seen... only the seen etc." for the Pali phrase " diṭṭhe diṭṭhamattaṁ ", etc. Is attan also used to mean "only" as well as "itself"? There is a clear diff...

It appears from SN 45.8 that sammāsamādhi is indeed jhāna : And what is right immersion? Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sammāsamādhi? It’s when a mendicant, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first absorption, which has the rapture and bliss ...

That Robert Frost is exceptionally difficult, though! Could you please just guide me a bit? I have successfully translated the rest, but am struggling with these sentences. Thanks again. Apologies, that's way too hard for me. I meant that it is hard enough in English, so getting the full meaning in...

Fluency. Okay, but I mean, what is the point of talking in Pāḷi? Although it surely helps with memorization of vocabulary and grammatical rules, one's time would be better spent translating from Pāḷi. As I said, it helps with fluency. Maybe different people find different learning techniques to be ...

With Pāḷi, you should be translating from Pāḷi, rather than to Pāḷi. You technically could, though, but why? Fluency. The Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies Pali course has students conversing in Pali, and primers like Lily da Silva's and Warder get learners translating from English to Pali. That R...
