Dear Dimitri and Ivan,
Yes, I had heard this, for a monk it is an offense to use a language other
then Pali for the terms explaining the Dhamma.
Ven. Nyanatiloka uses karma and nirvana in his Buddhist dictionary. That is
why I am inclined to say, in the context of the Theravada tradition and
Pali, we should use the words kamma and nibbana.
Nina.
