Some of Bhikkhu Analayo’s books have been published by Windhorse publications (a Triratna-associated UK publisher, which has charity status and needs donations to keep going). They often follow a book sponsorship model (first raise the costs for publishing from sponsors). If I recall correctly, to give an idea on costs, the sponsorship target for the book Satipatthāna Meditation: A Practice Guide was £4,000 (about $4,700 when converted to US dollars).

This is highly significant. Great job on the part of the interviewer to get the most out of Bhikkhu Bodhi.

But I wonder if both realized that their definition of Nibbana really boils down to the idea of a higher Self or Soul.

BTW I have also seen a video of this. Bhikkhu Bodhi was looking his best and wearing especially beautiful robes.
