introducing a new member

Dear members,

I'm pleased to announce that Bhikkhu Pandita has joined our group. The
first time I heard about him was when he introduced himself to YP's
Pali group late last November and I really don't know much about him.
He has told me that he is a native and citizen of Myanmar who is
currently residing at a Chinese Mahayana temple in Zhong He city,
Taiwan where he is teaching Kaccayana to three Taiwanese students. He
was formerly a teacher of Pali at the International Theravada Buddhist
Missionary University (ITBMU) in Yangon. He also has some experience
in teaching Moggallana to foreign students. Pali teachers are rather
few and far between and even more so with those who teach the
classical grammars. I think we should all pay very close attention to
what he says.

Best wishes,
Jim
