About the Course

Pali is the language used to preserve the Buddhist canon of the Theravada Buddhist tradition, which is regarded as the oldest complete collection of Buddhist texts surviving in an Indian language. To learn the Pali language, one can do self-study, using online references or books. Many people find that they learn better in a group, either in a classroom setting or in a study group. For many of us, the goal is not to become expert of the language, but simply to learn the basics of the language to help us understand the suttas and the Buddha’s teachings better.
