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.

Best wishes
Dhivan
