Blog's author's Comments.

This blog's author (Andrzej Wysocki) plans to purchase Kangyur & Tengyur as soon as possible.

Bought the 'Vinaya' (complete edition) & the 'Diamond Sutra' (with comments), a part of 'Prajñāpāramitā' books already.

Bought a book about the 'Heart Sutra with Supplementary Amitabha Sutra' too. i am happy for the Heart Sutra with the supplementary Amitabha Sutra being together, for a possible case of death separating a Buddhist Woman i Love & myself in this life - this is related with Phowa, the conscious dying practice.

Bought a book of the Prajñāpāramitā (Perfection of Wisdom), as well. Hopefully my Buddhist Wisdom will benefit from that.

i am happy for meaningful money spending at last as well.

This blog's author plans to accept as many vows as possible on the Yogi way, but not before i read, think & discuss this with the Buddhist Woman i Love - her opinion matters very much anyway.
