Dear PTS, Alex & Dharma friends,

Sadhu to this Dharma generosity. I know many will welcome this. I hope the
Pali texts, too, will be included in due course. They are actually more
valuable than the translations as far as texts are concerned.

Ms I B Horner (erstwhile PTS President) once wrote to me that it would be
helpful to have a new translation of such texts say once every 50 years or
so.

With metta and mudita,

Piya Tan
