Re: Not self - Ven. Yuttadhammo got it wrong too?

Sorry to revive an old thread, I just wanted to address the accusations about impropriety and being ejected from Sri Lanka, as they are to the best of my knowledge without any basis.

Re: Copyright on the Dhamma

So, who is going to pay for all of this? That's a bit of a ridiculous question, considering that the majority of the Buddhist world can and does pay for the writing, translating, editing, publishing, and distribution of millions of copies of dhamma books every day.
