Dharma friends,

Rumours are often based on truth: hopefully this one is.

Let us all send our metta and wholesome aspirations to Bhikkhu Bodhi that he may be health-endowed and inspired to complete a translation of Anguttara.

It is good to like in an age when we have a complete translation of the Four Nikayas in English.

Also hopefully, we will have someone upgrade or make a new fully annotated translation of the Digha. Walshe's translation is certainly a great improvement from the PTS pionner works, but more could have been done.

May the Dharma live within us and shine out.

Sukhi

Piya
