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?

Awesome! I so like this guy (see also my recent post on the General Buddhism Forum *)
This, to me, is the essence of rebirth, and karma - the lot. So, although I still know next to nothing of the guy, definitely not an editing issue as far as I am concerned. I never used to understand rebirth and karma, but it is well explained here by this man. I can try to talk about it further in my own way, but this may well lead to lively diversifying discussions. Nothing stopping us, however, to discuss it further in private messages. Let me know.
