THank you for your kind words, Arin, and a Happy New Year to you and yours. I’ve actually read a Life of Buddha before, so I won’t promise to read all of yours, but I will certainly check it out! You might consider sending a CD of it to the Dahli Lama, asking his adivce on how it could be diffused more directly within the buddhist community. He is very approachable. I checked the article on 16 Journalist tools and there seemed some very good ones, Ulysses being one, but all on Mac, which was both surprising and irritating. Acutally I was laughing at myself as I intiall misread it and thought you were teferrign to yhe Greek Mythology character who had a very interesting life and somebody had written about it and you had found writing tips from what was written, lol.
