Hello Friends In Dhamma, :namaste:

i am Vinayananda bhikkhu from Bangkok. i'm engaged with Buddhist Studies (M.A) at a Buddhist university here. actually i came across this DHAMMA WHEEL and signed in few months ago, and had few chances to go through some of the interesting topics and also have a small post but unfortunately, i'm very sorry to mention that i did not notice this self-introduction post.

anyway, i'm very interested in this wonderful Dhamma-sharing site with all the deep discussions and recent issues that concern Buddhism. i would like to have frequent access to this site now.

auspicious wishes to everyone

:thanks:

Vinayananda

Greetings Vinayanandabk,

I thought I recognised your username!

Well... for you, a belated welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

Metta,

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

Welcome Bhante!
-Samāhitam cittam yathābhutam pajānāti.

समाहितं चित्तं यथाभूतं पजानाती |

A concentrated mind sees things as they really are.

-Ujuko nāma so maggo, abhayā nāma sā disā.

उजुको नाम सो माग्गो, अभया नाम सा दिसा |

'Straight' is this path, fearlessness is its way.

hi
Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.
