Pali chanting, meditation practice, sutta study, abhidhamma study,
pali grammar, sutta translation are all interesting to me.
I do chant but would like it to be deeper in meaning.

I hope to learn Paali well enough to translate the suttas myself as
well as one day read them stright in paali. I am a big fan of
language learning and am currently learning French. True we all have
different ways of leaning, it is something else i explore often.

I find myself extremely curious about this world and it's people. I
study many fields and would like to be able to study Buddhism in much
greater depth also.

I wish to be a monk one day and I consider learning the ancient
languages of ALL religious traditions important because they also
have important things to say about the human condition. Also we must
all, as Buddhists, communicate and live with people of other faiths.
I hope for nothing less than to help in creating a beneficial mind of
my own and a understanding , helpful, compasionately wise society. I
do not know that we can ever have total peace in the world but I will
not wish to ever contribute to the opposite knowingly.

Hopefull we can run another group in tandem with this one and we can
both produce an atmosphere that can foster the understanding and
practical application of the sublime and free teaching of The Rightly
Self Awakened One.

May we all use our intelligence for good not harm as we walk this
path.
May you all be happy and study diligently ;)

p.s. I have one friend online that I have started to teach a little
paali already and he is interested in the group. There is certainly
interest but I seek the blessing of this already established, hard
working group.
