Yes, he's my favourite meditation teacher in the Theravadan tradition. His free online book on the anapanasati sutta was instrumental to my experience in jhana, as was my personal correspondence with him.

He's a lovely bloke.

Scroll down to Second Edition (Nov. 2006) and you'll get the pdf book.

Being a monk, nun or having heaps of vows and radiating pure goodness may help a lot, but it's not essential. Anyone can do it and once gained, you don't suddenly lose it.
Good point Kris... it also aplies to what we do with zazen. We have been told about this.

Has anyone else read the sutta or listened to the talk with transcript ?

From the sutta, I think we can touch sunnata easily. No need to have Jhana. Buddha gave us a sample to touch sunnata for many kind of human. Just know what was the object mind was focusing and know that the mind was effected by the object that mind focus to and was not effected by the other objects that mind did not focus to.
