The Purpose of Pāḷi Class

Reading the Pāḷi, the language of the Buddha, means much more than learning an ancient language because it helps us understand the Buddha’s holy teachings in an authentic taste as if we were seeing and hearing the Buddha in person. In order to offer such unique experience to its members and devotees, TMC printed “An Introduction to Pāḷi” in 2012 and now has organized the online Pāḷi classes since 2021.

Pāḷi teacher at TMC

U Hla Myint, he was born in1956, and trained from a young age in the Burmese monastic tradition, becoming a Buddhist scholar and a meditation teacher before leaving the monastic life. During his 22 years of monastic training, he has earned three degrees in the Buddhist Scripture and Pāli language, including the Ph.D. level Abhivaṃsa degree. In 2004, under the guidance of Venerable U Sīlānanda and the sponsorship of TMC, he edited digital Pāḷi texts, and later translated numerous dhamma books and authored many books and has also been teaching online Pāḷi classes.
