Re: Thai Pali

Dear Ven. Yuttadhamma:

I do not know where these specific Pali passages are from.
However, in Thailand there are many short Pali
passages, which were composed and commonly cited/memoried.
Given the fact that these passages are all in Pali,
many Thai monks somehow assume that they
all originate in the Tipitaka.
