"This book compares 3 versions of the Satipatthana sutta. As well as the Majjhima Nikaya version, there is also 2 versions from the Chinese - from the Madhyama agama and from the Ekottarika agama. All 3 come from different schools of early Buddhism. He goes into detail of the differences between the 3 versions, but although it is very detailed, it also has a lot of useful things, and many things to think about." — Mar 31, 2014 01:31AM

“Writing begins in the body, it is the music of the body, and even if the words have meaning, can sometimes have meaning, the music of the words is where the meanings begin....Writing as a lesser form of dance.”

“Proust is famous for his rhapsodies on hawthorns but his book has only three of these, whereas there are thirteen scenes in brothels, one especially detailed episode running to more than forty pages. Few critics mention the brothels but they are more fun than the hawthorns.”
