Yena yena hi maññanti,

In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.

Re: Pali Resources
Thank you for starting this thread, Bhnate.
Here is another resource for searching the Pali Canon:
http://www.tipitakastudies.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For some interesting thoughts on the language, as well as revised versions of 3 famous texts, try:
http://pali.pratyeka.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And lots of old grammars and dictionaries are housed at Google Books. Just poke around and you will come up with lots of goodies! (If not, then let me know and I will upload them here, as long as the moderators approve.)
Best wishes,
Sherubtse

Re: Pali Resources
PagePlus Keyboard and Pāli Fonts (Updated Link)
This Windows keyboard uses dead keys for typing almost any accented characters, including those required for Pāḷi. Ideal for European users who need to type in Polish, Czech, German, French, Spanish, etc., as well as Pāḷi.
Sample Shortcuts:
Shift hyphen then aeiou = ā ē ī ō ū
Ctrl Alt period then dlmnrst = ḍ ḷ ṃ ṇ ṛ ṣ ṭ
Shift # (~) then aon = ã õ ñ
Ctrl Alt comma then cdnlt = ç ḑ ḩ ļ ţ
Ctrl Alt apostrophe then aeiou = á é í ó ú
Full List of Shortcuts
I am looking for a list of several hundred or few thousand common Pāḷi words in UTF-8 encoding to add to a dictionary. Words like vipassanā, satipaṭṭhāna, ñāṇa, etc., not the full PTS dictionary.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

I stumbled upon this the other day... http://www.vridhamma.org/Pali-Primar-Online.aspx it might be useful for some.
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

Re: Pali Resources
Bhante, you once gave me a link to a very good Pali dictionary. Due to my numerous reformats since then I've lost it.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:PagePlus Keyboard

Now I have the sense to back up my bookmarks online. But if you still have that link, could you re-post it? Thanks.
Kind wishes,

I am going through some of the lessons myself, the only problem I find is, despite having installed the pāli fonts as reccomended I still cannot see the ā,ū,ī,ṭ,ḍ,ṃ,ṇ etc which can be slightly challenging for a begginer such as myself. If anyone knows how I can fix this I would be glad
All the best

Re: Pali Resources
I'm a beginner with Pali, but I find this to be a great resource:
http://buddhism.lib.ntu.edu.tw/BDLM/en/ ... _pali3.jsp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(The text of the Dhammapada, with syntactical and lexical analysis, and full audio)
I can't imagine a better learning resource.
I have spent much time learning Japanese, and so it might be that this kind of resource is better for me, as I'm already familiar with learning foreign phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, etc. For those who have learned a second language, imagine having audio accompanying a large text, plus not only the dictionary for each word (in context) but also a full etymological analysis!
The first hundred or so gatha work fine in my (unicode-enabled, modern) browser, but the later gatha require an additional font that can be found somewhere on that site.
Oops, I just noticed that this link was already posted. But, I think it wasn't made clear in that link just how valuable this resource is, so I'm going to post this anyway.
I hope it helps!
