Flurry of Blows doesn't use a weapon. Merely holding a Ki Weapon grants +2 damage to Flurry of Blows - you don't need to make the attack with it, because again, Flurry of Blows isn't using the weapon because no weapon keyword.

The most enjoyable monk I ever played had some magic staff that lets you, whenever you would shift, instead teleport that distance. I don't know how optimized it was, but I felt awesome whenever I was able to teleport through lines of enemies, or position myself for some weird flurries.
Light the Fire is a melee attack. Aura does damage — damage from a melee attack. So yes, Blistering Flourish adds to that, it adds to Flurry of Blows(making it a fire power), it adds to Lion's Den's extra turn damage, etc…
So if you had a way of instituting vulnerability, you can add a lot of damage in...
Staff of the Traveler. Though usually, if you can shift X squares, teleporting X squares instead shouldn't be a huge advantage. Particularly because you need to still be able to shift.

Been a while since I’ve looked at this thread. A couple of questions-
1) I presume there’s no reason the level 1/4 monk can’t be continued into the Radiant Fist one, other than swapping a few abilities around?
2) How would you expand the Radiant Fist monk towards higher levels? I presume that Path of the Blade substitutes for Circling Predator. Would you also throw in Death’s Chilled Embrace, or do the damage types become too annoying?
3) The Radiant Fist monk has a fair amount of damage done in drips and drabs- how do you deal with resistance?

1) Yes.
2+3) Yes. In general, don't worry about the damage types. Just keep trying to add additional damage up. And if you're worried about resistance, just pick a typed energy weapon to convert — then you either have mix of types or specific one.
