Welcome aboard, Alan,

I see the making of a new-generation Pali scholar. With Bhikkhu Bodhi working on the Anguttara (right now on the Fives), we would very soon have all the four important Nikayas translated.

We have greatly progressed from the days of the PTS and orientalism. I think we can safely say that one of our objectives now is to produce readable and aesthetical translations, hopefully some new gems of the English language.

Sadhu & sukhi

Piya
