Pali is one of the Middle Indian idioms and the classical language
of Theravada Buddhism. It is therefore important both to linguists
and students of Buddhism. This introductory book centres on a
collection of original texts, each selected as an especially
important and beautiful formulation of a Buddhist idea. By means of
a vocabulary, translation and commentary, each text is explained so
concretely that it can be read with little preparation. Detailed
explanations are provided for the many technical terms, which have
frustrated so many western explorers of Buddhism. For reference, a
grammar is provided. Sanskrit parallels to many of the words are
given, as well as a special chapter comparing the two languages.
