Thanks for clarifying that, YP.
Piya, what a marvelous looking course outline! If I
lived in the same city as you (is it Singapore?) I
would be signing up for that in a flash! Have you
considered making an on-line version of it? Or
perhaps, at least, you'd be willing to share your
notes for the course in the files section of this Pali
list? Many of us scattered around the globe could
benefit from it.
Metta,
John
