Most of what I have is from practice materials or oral instructions, so it's not typically something that would be circulating. There used to be a work that circulated around the movement in photocopy form, it was hundreds of pages long, on the lokas, but I never got a copy. Maybe someone remembers the text I'm thinking of. I think a good book on the Wheel of Life (which I may have one at home) or check out: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dhamma/sagga/loka.html I also uploaded a work on the 31 lokas to: http://homepage.mac.com/vajranatha/FileSharing2.html There is also a work, I cannot remember for certain the name--perhaps by Shantideva, which gave detailed experiential descriptions of the lokas. If I think of it, I'll post it. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
