Thanks for the welcome all.
By the way your book of Buddhas' Lists is a great resource for beginners like me. Thank you.

Re: Is a Teacher required to practice meditation?

It has been good to read the above comments as I am new to both Theravada and this forum as well as not having a teacher. As a guide does the meaning of taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha mean that a community ( with teacher) is important even for lay practice ?

David Intro

Hi everyone,
I am an Australian currently living in India with my wife taking care of an elderly family member. Its great to find this forum and I look forward to participating in discussions which from my part are likely to questions rather than answers.
