Hi Piya Tan,

thank you very much for the links. They look very interesting and, more
important, they have a fully documented bibliography! For me, that's very
necessary, as I try to escape buddhological literature which is written,
with good intentions, by buddhists, but fails to meet academic criteria...

Thanks again for this new gate you've opened :)

Stefan
