Dear friends,

many thanks to Piya and John, we now have an updated version of
Anapanasati Sutta trilinear edition. It is now available in the Files
section:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali/files/thepalicentre/anapanasati.zip

This is an excellent piece of work for the reason that we can learn
Pali and meditation at the same time.


metta,
Yong Peng.
