Hello friends!

My name is Sindre and I am a 29 year old man living in Norway. Last summer I was lucky enough to read "What the Buddha Tought" by Rahula (in Norwegian), and it was a life changing experience for me. This summer, in july, I am going for the Samanera ordaination and I hope to become a bhikkhu later on. English language is not my strong side, but I will do my best to improve. When it comes to Dhamma I like to read and talk about it (and practice), but I realize I still have a long way to go, so I hope this forum can help me understand even better what buddhism and life is all about.


With Metta,

Sindre

:hello:

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

Wow, that is fast! You read What the Buddha Taught and now you ready to ordain?

Sadhu!

Excellent!

What the Buddha Taught was my first Buddhist book of any kind. It is a classic. :reading:

Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the material in that book, or anything else for that matter.

Again thanks a lot for the friendly welcome.

Read What the Buddha tought and now ready to ordain - yes (but I have read more books later on of course) :)
I have some wonderings and I am glad to hear that I can post them here, and I have actually found answers already just by loocking at older postings (imagine that) :D
and may your path to liberation be short and pleasant to - ought we all to support each other :twothumbsup:


Metta,
Sindre :namaste:
