Re: a new member

Very happy to welcome you Teng kee. Jim told me he was going to
invite you and I am thrilled that you accepted. I always value
your input and comments on the other lists . One of the
advantages of this small group is that all of us have a basic
confidence in the Tipitaka and commentaries so we can get down
to the real work of trying to understand them. Jim is a
marvellous help and gentle teacher to the ones like me who are
novices in pali.
The problem word sounds fascinating and important to understand.
