Hello, my name's Simon and I come from the UK. I'm quite new to Buddhism - I've held an interest in it for many years, but only recently have I decided to dedicate myself to serious practice. I hope to learn from those on the forum with greater experience than myself and get to know nice people. Hello!

Greetings Simon and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

Beginnings are always interesting, full of the excitement of learning something new. It is good stuff. I hope this forum will be of interest and value to you. Feel free to ask questions and to engage in dialogue, if you wish. And welcome.SimonB wrote:Hello, my name's Simon and I come from the UK.

Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
