i have converted the book "Knowing & Seeing" by Pa Auk Sayadaw from the .pdf format to .doc format, so that anyone interested can convert it in .epub format.
The OCR software made some errors in the identification of some diacritical marks, but i hope that this .doc version can still be useful.

What, Sir, is the cause & the reason why in bygone days there were fewer rules of conduct & more Arahats, whereas nowadays there are more rules & fewer Arahats?

Now out as epub and mobi/Kindle:
Mindful of the Body: A Study Guide. This study guide focuses on the primary sutta in the Pali Canon dealing with the contemplation of the body: The Discourse on Mindfulness Immersed in the Body (MN 119). Early Buddhism teaches that the body can be used to develop mindfulness and concentration, which in turn can be used to free the mind of its attachments to the body. Then the mind and body can live in peace.
