Dhamma Wheel Buddhist Forum

Hello all,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself here.

I have been a 'Buddhist' for several years but this year my practice has kinda disappeared. Having been emotionally (and physically) tested lately by the world, I am trying to build my practice back up so I can deal with some of the anger that I seem to be harboring (or 'Turbocharging' as Firefox's spell checker prompted me with, strangely apt.)

I have spent a bit of time at a Sangha for the Vajrajyan tradition, but the practitioners there were fiercely secular, which is perfectly fine but I am a more spiritual person and needed a deeper connection, which led me to a Plum Village Sangha where I have only been once, but conversed with them online a few times (the guy who set the Sangha up is a good friend.)

I'm definitely not tied to any particular tradition and wish to obtain what I can from any one of them.

Anyway, thats my brief introduction. Don't let my name throw you, I am a non-Christian Christian.

Thanks.

Greetings non-Christian Christian,

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

Thank you.

Hi, Christian,
Another Aussie!
Actually, there are a few of us here ... and a lot of people from other places too (see map at foot of Home page).
You will find quite a range of viewpoints, too, but most of us are pretty tolerant of differences.

Gday Christian,

A 'Cooee' from Melbourne! Yes, it is raining here as I speak...my back yard has pond-sized puddles in it...

Don't worry about being non-sectarian. I suspect quite a few of us are here also, myself included. Sometimes I even border on heretical (ok just kidding about that one).

Hope you find Dhamma wheel fun and informative!

kind regards,
manas

Welcome Christian!

Greetings Christian and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
I grew up in Sydney - I have fond memories of the place.

Thank you for the welcomes, everybody.

Hopefully I can offer something to the community in time, right now though, just lurking a little bit.

I love just reading your welcomes, it makes me feel a lot better. I have a lot of anger at the moment and simply visiting this site lets me just let some go.

Thanks again!

No worries.
Enjoy the lurking!
kind regards,

Ben
