[Resource] Short dictionary of religious and Buddhist terms Lao-English, Vientiane/Luang Prabang, 2005

Patrice Ladwig is one of my favorite scholars on Lao issues, particularly religion, funerary issues and phi. He kindly uploaded a "Short dictionary of religious and Buddhist terms Lao-English, Vientiane/Luang Prabang, 2005, 87 p. [in Lao]" that absolutely should be downloaded and pored through by anyone interested in doing speculative literature such as horror, fantasy and science fiction for the terms the dictionary pulls out for the reader. While it doesn't provide a Laomanized word for many of the terms defined, it is still a valuable document to get a sense of the items connected with Buddhist thought and teachings.
