Re: Books for Learning Pali

To study pali ,we must first get all pali grammar books first.From kaccayana
to 19 century tika from myanmar although it will be very costly to pay.The
first book must be going through each sutta in kaccayana guide by a teacher
.Just like sri lankan do in balavatara text etc.
Why you still wasting time on patimokkha since we have a new tran by
K.Norman.It should be buddhadatta vinaya text like vinayavinichaya etc .
