As many of you know, English translations by the late Luis O. Gomez of both the shorter and longer Sukhāvatī-vyūha-sūtras, from Sanskrit, and again from Chinese, were published in 1996 by University of Hawai'i Press in the book titled, The Land of Bliss. These were what he called his "free" translations of these texts. Two more volumes were to come out, giving his technical translations of these texts, heavily annotated. Does anyone know if these translations were completed? If they still exist? If they will ever be published?

Thanks.
