Pali Day by Day is a data depository center (DDC) for a discussion
thread of the same name in the Pali Discussion
Group. The objective of the
discussion thread is for the group to work through Pali textbooks together, and
help each other in understanding the subject and solving the problems in the
books. This thread runs in series (A, B, C, D…). The purpose of this DDC is to
collect and compile the answers for the exercises in the books, as well as any
other useful information related to these exercises. You will be able to access
all the available information from this page, or from the right column.
This DDC uses Velthius Encoding system for presenting Pali words. You may
read about the system here >> [ read ].
