My Photo in a German Textbook

Here is a photo I took which is now in print across the world in a German textbook.  Cool!

I put the text into google translate, and this is what it said:
What is reborn?
Ajahn Amaro replied:
"To be born again by and large our habits.
In essence, this is it
Whatever the reason, the mind holds, that is born again - what we love, hate, fear, and admire what we have opinions.
Behind our identification with these aspects of the mind lies a driving force.
Attachment is like a flywheel.
Enlightenment is the end of rebirth, which means: perfect non-attachment to all thoughts, feelings, perceptions, bodily sensations and ideas, full non-identification.
So when we speak of it, that we have birth and death behind us, from the end of rebirth, of enlightenment, this is actually the natural constitution of the mind - not to be confused with any internal or external object identified or caught.
Is born from life to life again that in us which is blindly identified with objects.
