Dear friends,

attached is a suggestion from Ven. Kumara, which I agree to be a good
way of sharing and learning Pali as a group. There is currently an
ongoing sutta translation of MN62 Maharahulovada Sutta. Many have
provided assistance in the project, particularly Nina has been helping
me on the later parts. She has also prepared a translation of its
commentary. I'll finish off MN62 soon, and will also consolidate the
Pali and English versions and its commentary to be posted online. I
will start another sutta probably later in the year.

What Bhante has suggested is using short suttas from AN (or maybe SN)
for individual practice. The individual will then post it to the group
for discussion. I will then put it on the web after it has been
thoroughly edited for mistakes.

metta,
Yong Peng
