Err, does admiring Bhante Sujato require that I be a groupie who suspends all of my critical faculties in worshipful and unquestioning obedience to the Gospel of Sujato? Did either Venerable notice the optative issue which I raise?
PS - can't recall now but aren't the cemetery contemplations pretty well represented in the Agama treatments of the 1st establishment?
PPS - just re-visited Bhante Sujato's GIST and realise why he does not put the cemetery contemplations as being one of the oldest features of the 1st establishment. Although found in the parallel suttas/sutras, it is missing from the Abhidharma/Abhidhamma and the Mahayana text.
