Dear Friends,

I would like to appreciate the help I have received in translating these suttas, and of course the corrections of my funny English grammar mistakes. I know that this pace is quite quick but, if people still have time, I would appreciate continued comments and corrections; I am learning Paali quickly this way.

Here is AN 6.9.2

Comments:

1. "niyaama'm okkamitu'm kusalesu dhammesu sammatta'm." I put the first two words together and assumed the rest to be an expanding of the word "niyaama", so I got: "to enter upon certitude, rightness in regards to wholesome dhammas."

2. acchandiko = unenthusiastic





A'nguttaranikaayo

Chakkanipaatapaa.li

9. Siitivaggo

2. Aavara.nasutta'm
