Manas, (neither to take away a much better answer, nor to give the feeling of ignoring a question) I guess that's a matter of "mundane" and "higher" eightfold path, while we need to establish the mundane (the first turning - stream enter) first.

In regard of the duplication of the book (it just came to mind), did you ever thought of leading a course to teach and practice making traditional palm leave booklets. It would be of a lot benefit and a possibility to make good merits (thought on concentration training as well). It also would force a better interacting of give and receiver of Dhamma-Dana.

The first possibility that comes to mind are these folks in Taiwan...

They print and distribute texts relevant to all Buddhist traditions and along similar lines have previously printed and distrubuted Sutta anthology translations, the Visuddhimagga, Abhidhamma books etc.

Thank you, Bhante!

Thank you Viscid. Your contribution and support is much appreciated.

The Aṭṭhakavagga is now available also as a printed book. You can order a copy from Path Press Publications website.

We would also like to see this book widely available for free distribution in some monasteries. If you would like to sponsor the printing, please contact me.
