I have an announcement about a fantastic opportunity to learn Pali with a
world expert, all from the comfort of your own home. I hope it will be
of interest to some members of this mailing list.
NEW - Pali Online School
with the Oxford
Centre for Buddhist Studies
- 100% live instruction with Professor
Richard Gombrich, Boden Professor Emeritus of Sanskrit at Oxford
University and an expert in Pali.
- No pre-recorded lessons, it's all interactive and live. Go
from total beginner to reading original Pali suttas in less than 4
weeks.
I
have been fortunate enough to assist Richard with his teaching in its
precursor form, Pali Summer School (held in Oxford every August) for the
past several years. It has been run very successfully and we have had
fantastic feedback from participants, who included practitioners,
academics, monks, nuns, and even an armed forces officer. The Pali
Summer School has always been oversubscribed so they have decided to
take this online.
You will find most information on the OCBS website
but I will be
happy to answer any questions you may have as I know the course material
and how it's run intimately. It is truly a unique opportunity to study
Pali with Prof. Gombrich and ask him all sorts of questions about Pali,
Buddhism, Buddhist studies, etc.
