[JessiPollo]

I find Buddhadasa's point of view appealing, but I have some difficulties wrapping my head around it. What is more, from reading his text I am left with the impression that he has developed a pronounced distaste for Buddhaghosa's interpretation, as he keeps bashing it on almost every page of the book. He writes like a philosopher who tries to out-argue another philosopher's views. I find this unnecessary, because the two interpretations complement rather than contradict each other.

Such an appraisal is unnecessary. Indeed, the man is having "difficulties". Buddhadasa is merely describing mental phenomena. But the man cannot see the mental phenomena occuring within his mind.
