Re: Learn Buddha Vacana
Good Work!

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Friends,
I happen to have noticed that there is a French site with the very same content and format, called "La Parole du Bouddha."
The address ishttp://www.tipitaka.fr. There seems to be no link on one indicating the existence of the other. Similar sites in other languages would be good, because the whole idea is excellent.

Hi Richard,
The link is in Dukkhanirodha's http://dhammawheel.com/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=1261" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; signature, and I presume he/she speaks both English and French, given the French Guiana location.

Re: Learn Buddha Vacana
I was fortunate enough to meet ven. Sayadaw U Revata at Nandaka Vihara, Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia this morning.
He is the meditation teacher for foreigners at the Pa Auk monastery in Myanmar. A truly special person. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn he his an ariya.
For some reason, I happened to mention incidentally my work buddha-vacana.org during the conversation, and he showed great interest, he even asked me to write down the address of the website : )
