Thanks a lot, Bhante Dhammanando and Mr. Cousins, for your kind answers, and I also beg your pardon for my carelessness in failing to give the publication date and giving the wrong title of the commented work.
I myself think that it must be Sayadaw U Thittila but I cannot be sure, for, as you may notice, it is not an acknowledgement worthy of him. I feel that it is only a thinly veiled insult, probably the result of a personal conflict. It may be nothing to those outside Burma; but for Burmese people, especially for Burmese monks, it may warp the image of PTS in their eyes. I feel rather sad for it.
