Hi, my name is Yaron Landesman I have a great interest
in reading Pali in the original, I am reading in the
Jaataka.t.thakathaa almost every day in my leisure
time (the Jaatakas are giving great inspiration).
My B.A is in Indian studies and East Asian
studies. I have read Peter Masefield's brilliant
research book "Divine Revelation in Pali Buddhism"
it is for me a key to understand the Tipitaka.
I would like to say that what Peter Masefield shows
in his book appears (or at least can be understood)
also in the commentary-background of some of the
Jaatakas. For example the Saamajaataka, (the
beautiful)
Chadantajaataka, kunaalajataka and so in others.
If Peter Masefield is still in the Group please
make a comment about it.
Yaron Landesman.
