Your choice of the word "murals" for "rupaani" is
interesting.  The answer key did the same.  Yet, the
glossary in the Primer indicates that "ruupa" means
"form, object", as did a dictionary I referred to.
Where did "mural" come from?

Dear Friends,
While working on the Pali Primer I have created a
couple of handy study tools that summarize the main
noun and verb forms introduced in the text.  Not only
do they save me a lot of flipping back through pages
of the book to look up things while doing the
exercises, but they can be copied onto two sides of
one sheet of paper and be carried around in a wallet
for studying on those odd moments when you're stuck
waiting for a train, bus, in a grocery line, etc.
I've loaded these 2 documents (Pali Declensions, Pali
Conjugations) to the Files section of this list
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali/files/primer/ ).

I hope some of you will find them useful too.  I don't
gurantee them to be error free, so if anyone notices
anything awry, please let me know.

Note:  Both these documents require the LeedsBit
PaliTranslit font.

Best wishes to all,
John

Dear John,

thanks for the correction. You are right. It should be 'objects'
instead of 'murals'.

Dear Pali Friends

The following is an updated reply to a recent request of Robert
Kirkpatrick regarding an untranslated Paali passage he found in Pali
Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary. It is a translation of a
Paali Atthakathaa passage on the topic of 'Parinibbaana'. As PTS
dictionary hasn't translated it yet, you may well be reading the
first translation of the Paali passage in question.

Best Wishes!

Suan


   ---------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Robert Kirkpatrick

How are you?

The follwoing quote from Section 89, Dhammapada Atthakathaa clearly
tells us that there is no consciousness component in Parinibbaana
after the death of an Arahant.

I tried my best to provide as lateral a translation as possible -
syntatically in particular - while making sure that the readers can
read as natural English as possible. If you found any unclear points
in the translation, please let me know. My present translation has
been influenced by Nibbaanadhaatu Sutta Atthakathaa in Itivutta
Atthakathaa.

"Parinibbutaa  naama  arahattapattito  patthaaya  kilesavattassa
khepitattaa  sa-upaadisesena, carimacittanirodhena   khandhavattassa
khepitattaa  anupaadisesena   caati   dviihi   parinibbaanehi
parinibbutaa,  anupaadaano viya padiipo apannattikabhaavaam gataati
attho."

"`Parinibbutaa' is the ultimate cool by means of two-way complete
extinguishments, one with the existential residues emptied of
defilement machinery ever since attainment of Arahatta awakening, and
the other without the existential residues emptied of psychophysical
machinery by termination of the last mind (the dying consciousness).
It has the meaning of reaching the state of the undefined reality
like the lamp without fuel."

Parinibbaana - complete extinguishment
Kilesavatta - defilement machinery (vatta is literally circle, cycle,
or round. We have 'Vicious Circle' in English.)
Khandhavatta - psychophysical machinery
Apannattikabhaavo - the state of undefined reality

Upaadiseso - existential residues (upaadi is merely another name of
pancakkhadhaa). Upaadi means phenomena taken strongly by craving or
attachment (tanhaa).

As such, we can know for sure that Anupaadisesa Nibbaana is emptied
of the five khandhaas. Therefore, after the death of an Arahant, the
scenario of nibbaana having the consciousness component
(viññaanakkhandho) is out of the question. There is no textual
support for such a scenario.

Suan Lu Zaw

Mallika Discourse">Dutiya Vagga, Kosala Samyutta,
Sagatha Vagga Samyutta,
Samyutta Nikaya, Suttanta Pitaka FIVE SAMYUTTAS FROM
SAGATHAVAGGA SAMYUTTA
Translated by U Tin U (Myaung), Yangon
Edited by the Editorial Committee, Burma (Myanmar)
Tipitaka Association, 1998

The Bhagava was staying at Savatthi...
At that time King Pasenadi of Kosala approached the
Bhagava, made obeisance,
and sat at a suitable place. Then a cettain man went
near the King and
whispered into his ears, Queen Mallika has given
birth to a daughterThe King was unhappy at the news.
And the
Bhagava, knowing that King Pasenadi of Kosala was
unhappy, uttered these verses
at that time
;Some women, too, are noble, ; for they are wise
and virtuous; ; they treat their
parents-in-law as devas; they serve their
husbands faithfully; So, Lord of Men,
bring the daughter up well. Lord of all
Quarters, to such a virtuous
woman may be born a son ; who is brave and is
able to guide and rule the country>End of the Mallika
Sutta

Dear Frank, John and friends,

For Pali dictionary, I would like to add a few more:

1. An online version of Ven. Narada's is available at Buddha Sasana:
    http://www.budsas.org/ebud/bud-dict/dic_idx.htm

2. Another one by Ven. Buddhadatta available at metta net:
    http://www.metta.lk/pali-utils/index.html (MS Word format)
    and dhammanet: http://www.dhammanet.net/~ratthapala/lexicon.cgi

3. Also, there is a desktop pali dictionary, known as Paliwords from
    Andy's: http://members.home.net/j-andrew-shaw/palwor.htm

As for Pali canon, John has mentioned all except, of course, ATI at
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/

I've also included them under the folders John created. Enjoy.

metta,

Dear friends,

I'll be taking a slower pace to complete the remaining half of the
book, at 2 or 3 weeks per chapter. This is because almost every of
the later chapters cover new noun groups or verb forms, and I need
more time to digest and absorb them. Those who are comfortable at one
chapter a week, please carry on. Those who need more time, please
adjust your speed accordingly.

I also take this opportunity to reinvite friends who have not yet
started or have stopped halfway to join us in reading Pali Primer.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I've just added bookmarks for Ven. Nyantiloka's Buddhist Dictionary - Manual
of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines to the group's archive of Pali dictionary
bookmarks at  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali I was pleased to find the
downloadable version this week - both since it looks like it might be useful
and because the book would have cost $15 whilst Buddhanet kindly provides it
as dhammadana.

I tried to look at the Pali Primer file in the archive but can't read it so
I guess I haven't got the right fonts installed yet - though it seems like
I've installed dozens of fonts since I recently started thinking I'd like to
be able to read the Tipitaka in the original. Any advice on which font/s I
need to install to read that file?  Thanks for the invitation to join the
Primer study. I doubt if I can catch up when I'm so far behind but I'll try
to give it a go.

With thanks,

Hope.

Dear Hope,

thanks.

Many of the pali fonts are available in our files section:

metta,
Yong Peng.

Buddhanet now offers Pali fonts in several typesets. Though they may
not be compatible to the fonts used on other sites, it is worthwhile
to take a look:

Hi, everyone.   I would like to learn something about Pali as I have just
finished reading
David Brazier's book "The Feeling Buddha" in which he makes certain unorthodox
claims about the meaning of certain key words in Buddhism - dukkha, nirvana and
nirodha  - which I would like to check out.   For example, he explains nirvana
(nibbana) as deriving from NIR-VANA, meaning, so he says, "without-wind."    He
explains nirodha as deriving from NI meaning down and RODHA
meaning an earth bank or shelter, to mean "to confine."

This is  a very interesting and  novel interpretation, but does it stand up to
criticism?  Does it make sense in terms of what we know about Pali and Sanskrit?

I am interested to know whether there are any works written in Pali outside the
Buddhist Pali Canon?  Especially non-religious works.   And the  relations of
Pali with Sanskrit have got to be important.    Were the words Nirvana and
Nirodha found in Sanskrit literature before the time of the Buddha?   And how
were they understood then?

best wishes

Dear friends working through the Pali Primer,

I have a few comments on the exercises for lesson 17
as kindly presented by Yong Peng:

Translate to English.
> 16. Aapa.nasi.m bha.n.daani vikki.nantassa
> vaa.nijassa ratho atthi.
> Ans: The merchant who sells goods at the shop has a
> vehicle.
Since atthi means "is" and vaa.nijassa is genitive,
wouldn't a more accurate translation be:
That is the vehicle of the merchant who sells goods at
the shop.

> 17. Aha.m puttassa daatu.m dussa.m sibhanto giita.m
> gaayi.m.
> Ans: I sang the song while sewing clothe to give to
> my son.
Since "clothe" is not a noun in English, I suggest
replacing with "clothing".

> 19. Purisaa rukkhamuule nisiiditvaa taapasena
> bhaasamaana.m su.ni.msu.
> Ans: People sat at the foot of a tree and listened
> to the speech by
> the ascetic.
I found this an interesting use of the present
participle "bhaasamaana.m", being used as a noun.
Haven't seen anything like this in any of the other
exercises in the book, but found no other valid way to
translate the sentence.

Translate into Paali.
> 3. The fisherman brought fish from the sea and sold
> them to the
> farmers.
> Ans: Dhiivaro samuddamhaa macche aaharitvaa
> kassakaana.m vikki.ni.
Note that the answer Key has an error in it's
solution: it uses "dhiivaraa" and "vikki.ni.msu", as
if it had read "fishermen" instead of "fisherman".

> 6. Do not scold the children playing under the tree
> with the dog.
> Ans: Rukkhamuule sunakena saha kii.lante daarake maa
> akkosatha.
Yong Peng's answer matches the Key's, however, I have
heard from a reliable Pali scholar that "Maa" is most
often placed at the beginning of a sentence, e.g.,
Maa rukkhamuule sunakena saha kii.lante daarake
akkosatha.

> 10. Do not do evil, do good to enter heaven after
> departing from the human world.
> Maa papa.m karohi, manussalokasmaa cavitvaa
> sagga.m pavisitu.m
> kusalaani karohi.
I agree with YP's translation, but note that the Key
translates "evil" as "papaani" instead of "papa.m".
I'm guessing that both of these are interchangeable in
this context.

I look forward to any discussion of the above.

Metta to all,
John

Hi,

As for 19, I think it is possible to translate "bhaasamaana.m" as "teaching"
since it
is a present participle.

Rune E. A. Johansson, in _Pali Buddhist Texts_, page 125, says
"It should be pointed out that Pali has no equivalent to our verb
'have.' The idea may be expressed in many ways, e.g. "atthi" +
dat[ive] or gen[itive} "there is to me."

It looks like this sentence is a good example.
