If I'm the referent of the name used in the sentence cited above, I would love 
to know more about the lucrative book contract mentioned in the same 
sentence. I could use some lucre about now. (By the way, does lucre come in 
any flavor other than filthy? If there is some clean lucre, I'll have some of 
that, please.) Meanwhile, I have two more non-lucrative writing commitments 
to finish, after which I'll think about signing back on to buddha-l.

I got back from Vancouver yesterday after attending the annual meetings of the 
Pacific Division of the American Philosophical Association. There were 
several excellent panels on Asian philosophy, including papers on Buddhist 
philosophy. (Buddha-l veteran Ashok Aklujkar drove several of us around 
Vancouver and pointed out all the things we might have seen if it had been a 
sunny day. We thus came to know about Vancouver through śābdapramāṇa.) 

Talk about buddha-l at the APA was incessant, most probably because it was 
also beginningless. It's always good to see something anādi showing up at the 
APA.
