Looks like an interesting event, thanks for bringing it up. :slight_smile:

Footprints in the Dust by S. Dhammika (Pariyatti Edition).

The download link here doesn’t seem to work, is it just me?

Edit: I found it here (I assume it’s okay to share the link since it’s supposed to be a free download anyway).

Well it’s with a pay wall… it works for me.

It says “Free Download” on the link that’s broken for me. :smiley:

The Url on the pariyatti page is mangled. After some experimentation, I was able to reconstruct what the url should be:

I wrote to Pariyatti and they fixed the link right away. Should work now.

I’m reading it at the moment thanks to you, Stu, posting it in another thread. It’s a very interesting book, with lots of material to contemplate on (I find). Thank you again for posting this :tulip:

One major issue in the book is the author supports the hometown (Kapilavastu) of the Buddha was Piprahwa in Uttar Pradesh, India.

However, another site was in Tilaurakot in Nepal. 📕 Footprints in the Dust by Bhante S Dhammika - #20 by thomaslaw

I visited the two sites many years ago.

I consider it may be better to consider and include both, the Indian and Nepalese sites, were all the areas of ancient city of the hometown of the Buddha.
