Thank you for sharing, Bhante. Do you have any information regarding possible future availability of Mr. Wettimuny's original publication of The Buddha's Teaching and the Ambiguity of Existence? I've only been able to locate the 2nd edition, which I understand contains revisions so extensive to have potentially altered the original intended meaning of Mr. Wettimuny's words.

— as he would, with his foot,
the head of a snake —
goes beyond, mindful,
this attachment in the world." - Sn 4.1
