Dear Lars, Mike and friends,

thanks for the reference. This is certainly a good and important
piece of advice, but I can't be sure if it applies to this
discussion. I am more confused how nama rupa appears under the
heading of Word by Word. I am not familiar with Visuddhi., but I
think it depends on whether Visuddhi. is a work based on a careful
and thorough study of the Tipitaka. If it is a work based on the
commentaries and sub-commentaries, then it depends on whether it
convey similar message as the commentaries. I think the same applies
to Ven. Nanananda's works.

metta,
Yong Peng
