Re: Selfless Persons - Steven Collins
It has been years since I have read it, but it is good. He is a reliable sympathetic scholar of things Theravada.
>> Do you see a man wise [enlightened/ariya] in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.<< -- Proverbs 26:12
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond. -- SN I, 38.
“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” HPatDH p.723

Thanks Tilt
I already have the book - one of those bought and set aside for when I have time. But I'll start this one soon, as it has the tick of approval.
