Joanna asked: > I would like to know which Pali word Thanissaro Bhikkhu translated as "loving words" in the Samajivina Sutta cited by Shen below. The relevant Pali for the "loving" portion of the phrase is "piya." For more information on this term, see http://tinyurl.com/2qdjzd (and cf. Sanskrit "priya"). Best wishes, R. Nance Indiana
