Hello Everyone,
I'm really excited to be here! I've just recently seriously studying Theravada Buddhism in the past few months before that I came from a western philosophy and Mahayana background. The Theravada tradition appeal to me as its more analytical, which makes it much easier to because of my training in formal logic. My family are fortunate to live right by Wat Dhammagunaram in Layton Utah. I have just started cruising around the forum and I'm very impressed at the caliber of people here. I hope to learn much in this forum and hopefully grow wiser. Any suggestion or advice that someone care to give to a novice practitioner?

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
