Re: Dhs 981

Welcome Tadao! Great to hear you work at a uni. in the field of
linguistics. Is your main subject Pali? My students are keenly
working on the Japanese translation of 'Buddhism in daily life'
(now on chapter 5) and might have something for you to look at
before the end of the year.

I haven't looked at the other translations yet. I will try. Your

katame
> What dhammas (realities) are wholesome? There are three
wholesome roots- , nonaversion, non greed,nondelusion
These are in association with feeling aggregate, perception
aggregate, consciousness agregate.
This is the origination of bodily action, action through speech,
action through mind,  which is wholesome.
