The Suttas in translation are available to anyone,and to say that the printed word and the degregation of the language is a problem is only a so if we cling to the printed word and don't get behind the language.

Very true Frank. We all know that. We all want everything just given. We find really challenging to do our own work. We are, sometimes, like kids that are needed to be told what to do. It doesn't matters if is a guru, a tradition or the original scripture. To get behind the lenguage needs a lot of work to be done by ourselves.

I have ever thought that the teachings of the historical Buddha are like a recipe or learning to cook. A huge amount of practice is needed.
