Jerry,
Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I look forward to reading the 
"foreword" when you have time to make it available to me.
I am at a little disadvantage right now with my primary PC, somehow when 
uninstalling my firewall and antivirus that was resident on it in preparation 
to install new app's of the same an important Module of my Win XP got 
uninstalled along with the others. As a consequence I have no current PGM's to protect 
me online and am using my old PC to reply here. This prevents me from using 
my saved favorites on that machine.

I am redoing a Google search on the 18 Arhats and have a couple of links I 
will place below. The topic of the two non-canonical Arhats is intriguing to 
me, and in some ways seems to correlate to the tradition of the Morya Dynasty 
being the Trustee's to reliquary and the rest. If I remember right "Pindola 
Bharadvaja" was one of the two Arhats alleged to be at Kalapa, and the other is 
Dharmatrata.

Madame Blavatsky and Olcutt both took Buddhist Vows. The Sunyavadins say: 
"The Truth is absolute Silence," and then we have from Madame Blavatsky "The 
Voice of the Silence."

Best regards and thanks,
John
