Āgama Research group kindly shared this new article by Bhikkhu Anālayo. I’ll include both the link to the piece in the Sri Lanka International Journal of Buddhist Studies and the pdf.
Since many learned monastics, as well as lay practitioners who care deeply about their welfare, frequent these forums I thought it would be worthwhile to share Venerable Anālayo’s new article. As a simple lay practitioner I don’t have the requisite scholarship to fully appreciate the article but feel confident that many who participate here do.
