Thank you.

By the way, the Khantipālo book that Ajahn Nissarano praises in his talk, Buddha, My Refuge, is available from the Buddhist Publication Society as a pdf file.

For some reason I had an urge to google Khantipalo last night and found out the sad news.
This lead me down a path of reading old writings such as "confessions of a Reluctant Theravadin" again, which I first read about 30 years ago. Time flys!

In that article Khantipalo mentioned a book he was working on about the vinaya called "Moss on the Stones" and it is also mentioned in his translation of the Sutta Nipata.

Does anyone know if that has been published, perhaps under a different title as google not showing up anything.
