sorry all, but as i am quite new in my studies, i was wondering if anyone knows of a place i can find a vocabulary of basic theravada terminology. i am sure that as i progress in my reading, i will learn the words and terms used here in these forums, but - as a beginner - i get lost sometimes when i'm reading alot of the great information available to me here.
i HAVE done some looking on my own, but have not found what i'm looking for and thought "asking" might be the quickest way. thank you for your patience.

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
