Dear Dimitry,
Again thank you very much for your feedback on my
answers to chapter 11.

All your suggestions below are indeed improvements on
my first draft, except for two that I have questions
about:

You suggest: "What life is called best among lives?"
for
Katha.m jiivi.m jiivitamaahu se.t.tha.m?
wheras I had "What life is best among lives?"
Where did you get the "called" from?

Then you suggest apperception for sa~n~na. I think
perception is a much clearer and better understood
English word, and most English-speaking Pali scholars
I know of translate it as perception too. Just
wondering what nuance you're trying to convey with
apperception.

Thanks for all your help.
Watch your mailbox for Chapter 12 - coming your way
soon!

Mettaa,
John
