I thought I would introduce myself, as I have been subscribing to the Pali group for a few
weeks now, and two new people have already introduced themselves. My name is Dharmacari
Dhivan - I am a member of the Western Buddhist Order, and 'Dharmacari' is a title meaning
'one who fares in the dharma' - and I have been learning Pali for a couple of years now. I
would like to be able to read the early scriptures in the original language, and be able to
study early Buddhist thought as closely as possible. I have mainly been using Introduction to
Pali by Warder, but have also studied a bit with friends here in Cambridge UK and with Prof
Richard Gombrich in London. So my Pali is coming along. I am not following the Pali course
that is being posted to this group but am appreciatin the annotated translation of the
Sigalavada Sutta that is being posted by John Kelly.
