Dear John,

Thank you for your reply. I have the Middle Length Discouses and will
look at it's glossary again. What I really like that I find on this
list is the various translations to get a fuller idea of how each term
gets to have an acknowledged meaning. I have been meditating for many
years and am interested in what Gotama himself says about the various
states of mind, to compare to my own progress. Just recently I found
his definition of contact in one of the suttas. That clears up things
very much. Other words that gets me confused is formations or
fabrications, or the defilements, cankers, etc. I would like to see
these Pali terms broken down as well into their components.

Anyway, thank you again.

Much metta,
Jill
