Introduction

Postby Alvaro » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:31 pm

Greetings!
Just introducing myself. My name is Alvaro, I'm in Argentina. I found your site very interesting and, considering that there is very little buddhism here, and even less Theravada, i hope to find some good dhamma friends and some help here. Also to do my best to contribute.
With Metta,

Alvaro

Bienvenido Alvaro! Welcome!

Bienvenido a Dhamma Wheel Alvaro!!!

:anjali:
All the world is on fire, All the world is burning, All the world is ablaze, All the world is quaking. That which does not quake or blaze, That to which worldlings do not resort, Where there is no place for Mara:That is where my mind delights. (SN 5.7)

By degrees, little by little,
from moment to moment,
the wise purify themselves,
as a smith purifies silver.

Welcome aboard
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!
