Hi all.
I'm crazy about this website. It contains detailed grammar notes for each Dhammapada verse, and even an audio clip of each.

Wonderful Dhammadapa study site

I hope that every time I post it will be accompanied by a wish for the wellbeing of everyone in this sangha and all beings.

Thanks phil!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

I posted a similar one on the story thread wish there were more like these though
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

My mistake. Kind of got confused by the RC, not noticing that there was no P. It seemed rather odd that the ChiComs would be so supportive of the Dharma like this

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
Dharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Hi all
Back after some time away.
I'd like to take the liberty of bumping this thread I started because I continue to find the linked page so helpful. For those who want to study Pali but don't have the time or discipline to follow one of grammar primers, downloading the audio clips into your i-pod is really amazing. You internalize the verses, and they really fuel your practice. There are certain verses that keep resonating like crazy. As an ESL teacher, I always tell students that by listening and shadowing (repeating after) recorded English, they can pick up a lot of the grammar without studying it, "organically" I say, and while that is a fuzzy overstatement I have a feeling something like that is at work.
In any case, I really recommend downloading the "sentence pronunciation" clip that is given for each verse. Great boost behind one's practice...
Metta,
Phil

Thanks Phil! 
Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things
- Ajahn Brahm
