No prior knowledge of Pali is required. The course will start with the basics\, showing students how the alphabet is organized and how to find words in a dictionary.

A Chinese state-owned mining company is closing in on the ancient site\, eager to harvest $100 billion dollars worth of copper buried directly beneath the ruins. Only 10% of Mes Aynak has been excavated\, though\, and some believe future discoveries at the site have the potential to redefine the history of Afghanistan and the history of Buddhism itself. Qadir Temori and his fellow Afghan archaeologists face an impossible battle against the Chinese\, the Taliban and local politics to save their cultural heritage from likely erasure. \nLight refreshment will be served.\nFor Further information\, please contact: library@baus.org\n  URL:https://www.baus.org/en/event/mind-over-movie-saving-mes-aynak/ CATEGORIES:Woo Ju Memorial Library END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170812T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170812T154500 DTSTAMP:20260424T000208 CREATED:20170525T175223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170525T175223Z UID:9732-1502528400-1502552700@www.baus.org SUMMARY:The Four Protective Meditations with Ven.

Pali\, part of the Indic family of languages\, is based upon the vernacular languages of northern India used at the time of the Buddha. \nBy learning the basics of Pali grammar and vocabulary\, students can begin to engage directly with the Buddha’s teachings\, leading them to understand the thought world in which the Buddha lived with a richness that cannot be captured in translation. \nNo prior knowledge of Pali is required. The course will start with the basics\, showing students how the alphabet is organized and how to find words in a dictionary. Basic grammar will be covered in depth. Students will begin to read passages of the Pali canon themselves.
