Hello

I have been reading Ajan Buddhadasa's work "me and mine". In reading the section on cessation of me and mine Ajahn writes that "when a body has died if clinging has no ceased then "I am" shall continue to arise" (paraphrased) and in the first chapter he writes that kammas effect can be felt accross lives

This struck me as Ajahn usually does not venture into such areas of discussion, so I was hoping to get any info on this from people who are more intimate with Ajahns teaching style. Also if anyone knows if this is an editing issue?

You might want to bounce that one off Santikaro. Looks like he is referring to what he refers to as "everyday language vs. Dhamma language" -- the putthujjana belief of "cessation of the aggregates" vs. the Dhamma of Nibbana ("cooling") of clinging to the aggregates as self.
