Dear fellow scholars of Buddhism,
As the year winds down and people start to look forward to the new year, I hope that everyone is staying cozy and well.
Today I’m happy to announce that if learning Pāli is one of your "new year's resolutions," The Open Buddhist University has you covered with two courses and a new page of resources all about the Pāli Language just for you!
On that page you’ll find links to books and papers about Pāli along with a suite of helpful tools, including a selection of Pāli Dictionaries containing, among all the classics, an exciting new grammar app just published this year: The Digital Pāḷi Dictionary. If you’re a student of Pāli struggling with declension charts, I recommend checking it out!
This month I’ve also continued to make small technical improvements across the site and add many new items to the library, such as this course on the history of Eastern Europe and this essay by Bhante Sujato on the karma of “just” war—both written in response to Russia’s (ongoing) invasion of Ukraine this year.
In fact, we’ve added so much this year that our library now has over 2000 items! A big thank-you to all the publishers and authors who’ve made this milestone possible through their generous offerings.
If you’d like to stay informed about all our new arrivals, subscribe to one of our RSS feeds or follow OBU on Mastodon where we’ll be “tooting” updates now that we’ve moved off of Twitter.
As the old year draws to a close, I hope that the coming year will be good for everyone.
And thank you, as always, for all the kindness and support in 2022.
Wishing You a Most Happy 2023
Khemarato Bhikkhu
Chief Librarian @ The Open Buddhist University
