Re: the title 'Sayadaw'

Dear Bhante. Nyanatusita,

Thank-you very much for the information on the memorization and
recitation of texts. I'm much in agreement with you on its importance.
In the educational environment I grew up in, in the 50s and 60s in
Canada, this way of learning a text seemed quite minimal. To find out
how children are doing these days, I asked my cousin who was then a
librarian-teacher at an elementary school if school children were
required to memorize anything. She said "no". Sometime after, I heard
in a CBC radio interview a professor of educational studies make the
comment that by the time students finish high school they retain very
little of what they were taught all through school.

I would like to ask a question about the following Paacittiya IV rule:

"Whatever monk should make one who is not ordained speak dhamma line
by line, there is an offence of expiation." (Horner, p. 190)

Doesn't this rule prevent a monk from teaching Pali to the unordained?

Best wishes,
Jim
