I'm also trying to return to the study of the Brahmajāla Sutta but have to
put it off for a while longer yet as my attention and time continue to be
dominated by events relating to my mother's deteriorating health since early
October and her placement in a nursing home on Nov. 15. She passed away last
week at the age of 90 from a heart disease. And being executor of her will,
I now have the daunting task of dealing with the matters that follow upon a
death.
I have the Brahmajāla Sutta memorized up to the end of the Cūḷasīla and have
gotten into the habit of reciting all the memorized portions of the sutta
most mornings. My suggestion is for you to resume posting with the
paragraphs of the Cūḷasīla as you did with the first six paragraphs of the
sutta and then stop again for another long break. Hopefully, I'll eventually
get back to the study of the sutta in depth and and my involvement with the
list activities.
Best wishes,
Jim
