Thanks Jon, for Peter's interesting article.

We have just finished the 3-day ISEAS "Buddhism Across Asia" conference at
the Orchard Hotel today, where Peter Skilling, Prapod Assavavirulhakarn and
a galaxy of well known scholars presented papers. The Nobel laureate Amartya
Sen gave the closing address.

With metta,

Piya Tan
