Greetings from India

Post by Sweet_Nothing »

In the great ocean called Samsara,
I am but a passing drop.

I was born in India 22 years ago. A little over 2 years ago I was formally introduced to the Dhamma through one of Goenkaji's 10 day courses. It was completely life altering.
Since then I have sat some more courses.I have been trying to keep up a steady sitting practice and also read/listen to dhamma talks/books in my free time.

I have also done a fair bit of intellectual exploration towards almost all other alternative paths. All in all, the noble eight fold path as taught by Shakyamuni Buddha rings true with me.

I'm glad to find this website and it feels just right for me. I came across several threads which solved some doubts I had. The colour scheme is also very nice! :)

My goal is to be free of delusion as far as possible. Everything else feels secondary.
I shall do this probably as a contemplative layman and maybe, possibly as a monk, if circumstances ever allow.

Metta,

swagat :namaste:
Aflame with the fire of passion, the fire of aversion, the fire of delusion.
Aflame, with birth, aging & death, with sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs ......

Seeing thus, the disciple of the Noble One grows disenchanted. SN 35.28

Welcome!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
