Hi Sma

Could you kindly post a link to the online course.

Thank you
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

I am from China. I had studied the first book of this series under the guidance of a Chinese teacher in 2013. Last month, knowing that I had the basic knowledge of Pali language, a Sri Lanka Bhante gave me the hard copy of all the three books and hoped me to resume my study.
