Dear Yong Peng & Pali mittaa,

After meeting Ajahn Sujato (assistant to Ajahn Brahmavamso) I realise the urgency and
value of learning Classical Chinese. Ajahn Sujato is specially interested in research
in Yogacara meditation method (esp Satipatthana/Smrtyupasthana) esp the Sravakabhumi.

I almost took up a course in Classical Chinese while in Berkeley, but I had too many
irons in the fire then. Anyway if anyone knows of online course or books for
self-study on Classical Chinese (Buddhist) through English, it would be great. Please
let me know.
