Dear Rett,

I just came back from Yangon and visited the International Theravada
Buddhist University. They actually offer one, two or three years
studies in Theravada Buddhism (in English) for interested foreign
students. I met the Pali teacher, Venerable Nodhi~naa.na, and had some
interesting talks with him.

They also have a small bookshop where you can purchase a whole range
of books on Abhidhamma, Suttanta, Vinaya, etc and also on Paa.li
language. I found Duroiselle's practical grammar and also the PTS Pali
- English dictionnary.

Thank you again for the information.

With metta,

Florent
