Re: Re:music and patisambiddhamagga, to Jim

Dear Jim,
I play with Lodewijk, we play on two pianos, not only Bach, also Mozart,
etc. I play recorders, different sizes. I  find that Music can be a doctor
next to medical doctors. I noticed this after I broke my wrist and had a bad
distrophy. If you feel like playing again, you could try whether it helps
your hearing. But it is difficult to advise others.
As to dhammaramana, pa~n~natti is included in this. It has six categories,
or, in the case below, twelve.
With best wishes with your treatments,
Nina.
