Hi Robert,
are you still in India.
I wanted to check with you if you are still in India so that I can invite you to visit my home if your itenary is flexible.
Additional details below you can read when you get time.
why a late reply:
I recently got to know this site and by reading even a very few of your messages felt that you are sincere practitioner. So to convey that a Dharma brother is there to receive you in India (though not in Gaya) I have to become a member as you have addressed forum members.
But I was not interested to join any forum and preferred to continue my secluded life studying and practicing myself with near zero contact with external world(fearing contact/phassa - vedana and so on) .Nevertheless I have contemplated so many times whether to approach you through the email-id you mentioned in the about page for site emergency purpose and convey that .But I thought it is inappropriate to email to that and not sure how you would receive it. So after lot of back and forth I finally gave up .
why now:
I am managing my practice alone but yesterday i have seen something in another forum ( i am not a member there) , which i felt very very important and thought there is a need for me to go out and interact with people(sangha) who cares Buddha teachings and get the clarification as it is not a matter of sutta clarification which I can as usual depend on dhamma vicaya inorder to avoid contact but it is a matter about Dhamma itself. So a cause has been established to come out and meet someone who can clarify me and this forum serves the purpose with out going and meeting personally. so i have joined this forum . I will check with you whether I can discuss about it or not and open a new thread later.
Apology:
Though I am not young, this the first time in my life I came to the forum world and also literally with zero social media living .So I might be or have already made some mistakes in communicating .I apologize if I have done any already and also for polluting your personal thread partially.
Greetings:
All other forum members kindly receive my greetings.
