• The Handful of Leaves CD-ROM is now back in stock, and is shipping once again. See the CD-ROM Bulletin for more information.
• From the Sutta Nipata:

<ul>

• Padhana Sutta (Sn 3.2) &mdash; Exertion. The ten armies of Mara approach the Bodhisatta (Buddha-to-be) in an unsuccessful attempt to lure him from his meditation seat. [New translation.]

• [31 Jänner 1999] From the Samyutta Nikaya:

<ul>

• Nakhasikha Sutta (SN 13.1) &mdash; The Tip of the Fingernail.
• Pokkharani Sutta (SN 13.2) &mdash; The Pond.
• Samudda Sutta (SN 13.8) &mdash; The Ocean. These three suttas offer vivid similes that give a sense of how much suffering one totally puts behind oneself upon attaining the stream to nibbana. Good encouragement for putting some extra effort into the practice.
• [16 Jänner 1999] Handful of Leaves CD-ROM is now out of stock…
  ...but the good news is that I'll be doing a second printing in Feber, so you should still be able to get a copy. See the CD-ROM Bulletin for details.
• [1 Jänner 1999] A New Year's gift: Four short suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya:

<ul>

• Nakhasikha Sutta (SN 20.2) &mdash; The Tip of the Fingernail. The Buddha offers a simile for the preciousness of this human birth.
• Okkha Sutta (SN 20.4) &mdash; Serving Dishes. Satti Sutta (SN 20.5) &mdash; The Spear. Two suttas on the extraordinary power of metta (goodwill).
• Dhanuggaha Sutta (SN 20.6) &mdash; The Archer. How quickly life passes! Knowing this, how should we live our lives?
• Ani Sutta (SN 20.7) &mdash; The Peg. Be careful: there are many popular teachings nowadays that may sound elegant and pleasing to the ear, but they're not necessarily the Buddha's teachings.
