Introduce yourself to others at Dhamma Wheel.

Hi there! My name's John and I live in Florida.
I've been practicing Buddhism for about 20 years or so and found this forum on the Internets and figured I would register and perhaps participate. I started practicing in a Zen tradition and still do. Although these past few years I've taken an interest in reading the Pali Canon. Wonderful set of texts that is! I really don't differentiate between Theravada, Zen, Tibetan, etc. It's all just "Buddhism" if you ask me.
So I really don't consider myself to be a "Zen Buddhist" or a "Theravada Buddhist" but just "Buddhist" and that's it. I hope that's ok?! Cheers!

Welcome John! I've been away in India and initially missed your Intro.
Hope you find DhammaWheel a good place to be.

Welcome. I hope you find this forum of interest and value.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
