Is he ok?
I got the impression some time ago that he decided to move on for personal reasons, not because he was unwell.

Maybe you could contact him at his website if you wanted to speak to him about something.

Perhaps the difference of terms nibbana and parinibbana will explain the idea what Bante Pesala had tried to explain. Realisation of Nibbana is while living and parinibbana is the state after the death of a person who has attained or realised Nirvana.

Maybe. There's a link to his AIM forums in his signature, and I'm sure if you ask him there, he'll be happy to clarify.

Bhante Pesala,
I believe that you have written some instructions on walking meditation.
Could you give me the link?

Yes that is the correct link. The above post is from nearly seven years ago. I have since simplified my website structure.
