Dear Nina,
I taught Sanskrit in a Sri Lankan university and courses in Hinduism
and Buddhism in a US university. Several non-SL students sought my
assistance in learning Pali, which I willingly gave. Now, however,
living in retirement, I see the self-assertive aspect of the acdemic
enterprise more clearly than I did before. It is always better to back
out of it when that element emerges.
Kind regards.
Mahipaliha
