A New Course in Reading Pāli: Entering the Word of the BuddhaThis book is intended to serve as an introduction to the reading of Pali texts. For that purpose, it uses authentic readings especially compiled for the purpose drawn largely from Theravada canonical works, both prose and poetry. The readings are in Roman Script, and carefully graded for difficulty, but they have also been selected to that each of them is a meaningful and complete reading in itself. |
