Dear Nina,

thanks for your generous words. Would it be ok that I attempt on the
next paragraph (water), while you attempt the following one on
heat/fire? At this rate, we can probably finish the sutta by November.

As for the commentaries, I am glad to hear that you have finished up
to the last paragraph, and are going back for a line by line
translation. Please do as you see fit. I would like to put the
commentary with the sutta on the web, if you don't mind. Thank you.

metta,
Yong Peng

could add co. to each section?

translated before and now translating line by line. At first I found
the similes long and difficult, but now I like them very much. Pages
with viya..viya.. I have some sections ready and could present them
little by little if you like. But again, whatever you decide is fine.
