Dear Renuka!
So much thanks for your nice email!
I am especially glad to know that Sinhalese people
live here in the North of Germany - As I have been to
Sri Lanka twice in my life (one time for three years,
living there as an aranya-vasi monk) i cherish a deep
love for the country and people. Kohomada Mahatmiya?
Api eka davasak hamuvenne? Mage yahaluvek oba kittuyi
jivat venne (Schwerin). Ehenem mama nävätte ingrisiyen
liyanne:
I started pali with the dictionary of Rhys Davids and
with a simple German Pali grammar of Kurt Schmidt -
thats all! Then jump into the matter (i.e. texts) and
simply start translating .. thats the most
straigtforward way of learning it i found..
greetings to all your sinhalese friends in Luebeck
