Dear Members,
I am forwarding the following email (see below) I received this morning. It
seems that Ms Karen Wendland of the Pali Text Society had Mikael re-direct
his enquiry to this group. Anyone interested in doing a painting of the word
"dukkha"? I have received similar emails before about the words "anatta" and
"anicca". I suspect the motive is to have such words tattooed on the body.
Best wishes,
Jim
