Hi,

I'd like to take this chance to politely disagree. I find Buddhadatta's English/Pali dictionary to be barely adequate rather than perfectly adequate. I agree with I.B Horner's foreword which, in thinly veiled language says that the present dictionary is at least better than nothing. A new dictionary would be very welcome. Surpassing Buddhadatta's dictionary wouldn't be the result of an amateur hobby-project, however.

best regards,
