Item description from seller

HB without dust jacket as published. A new approach to the study of Pali, introducing the language from the start through the sacred literature of Theravada. A total of 40 textual passages have been carefully selected from the vinayas and suttas, which the student begins at once to translate into English, with the help of vocabulary and grammatical analysis accompanying each passage. The program can be used as a class primer, a supplementary study aid or a stand-alone 'teach yourself Pali' course, as the student desires. Includes introductory chapters on the Pali alphabet, Pali grammar, the declension of nouns and conjugation of verbs in Pali, and Pali roots. The author, Ven. Anuruddha, has dedicated his lifetime to the study and teaching of the Pali language; now near his eighth decade and still actively teaching, he is one of the living treasures of knowledge of the sacred language of Pali. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. x, 225 pp., appendix outline of the Theravada canonical literature, index. Size: 24 x 17 cm. …
