Two texts unknown to me

Hello,

  Below are two texts I've never before seen.  #1 is in Sinhalese script
  --apparently-- I would be interested to know if it is also in the Sinhalese
language, or if it is pure Pali.  #2 seems like a very mainstream
publication --but I have never seen a copy, and would be pleased if anyone
would "review" it for me, as it would cost me quite a bit to order it here
in Laos.

Even as a fire consumes all obstacles, both great and small, a monk, who
delights in heedfulness and who views heedlessness with fear, consumes
attachments, both great and small.
