 PREFACE

The principal aim of these Notes on Dhamma is to point out certain current misinterpretation, mostly traditional, of the Pali Suttas, and to offer in their place something certainly less easy but perhaps also less inadequate. These notes assume, therefore , that the reader is familiar with the original text, and in Pali ( for even the most competent translations sacrifice some essential accuracy to style, and the rest are seriously misleading). They assume, also, that the reader’s sole interest in the Pali Suttas is a concern for his own welfare. The reader is presumed to be subjectively engaged with a problem, the problem of his existence, which is also the problem of his suffering.

There is therefore nothing in these pages to interest the professional scholar, for whom the question of personal existence does not arise; for scholar’s whole concern is to eliminate or ignore the individual point of view in an effort to establish the objective truth – a would be impersonal synthesis of public facts.
