Greetings to everyone!
My name is Phra Sander Khemadhammo. I have been ordained as a Buddhist monk since 2005, in Thailand. I look forward to discuss some Dhamma on this group.
A Buddhist discussion forum on the Dhamma of the Theravada

He stopped and called out to the Blessed One: "Stop, recluse! Stop, recluse!"

Greetings bhante,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

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

Thanks!
I have been to Amsterdam twice, when I was a child and another when I was a teenager when my birth family and I lived in Deutschland.
A few years ago I read the interesting life story about the Dutch member of parliament, Ayan Hirsi Ali in her book, Infidel.

Hi Bhante!
Welcome to dhamma Wheel!
maybe you have some thoughts on the training which you could share here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2216&start=40 if you would be so kind, it isn't a specifically training orientated thread but certainly wouldn't be outside of the intention of the thread.
but on a side note I need to learn another language all these perfect non-native english speakers and writers are giving me an inferiority complex (or should I focus on my English ability first???
)
hope to speak to you on occassion

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Okay, I admit I had to use the dictionary for that one, but one day I'm hoping my Pali will be good enough not to check the dictionary very often.

Welcome, Bhante.
"The serene and peaceful mind is the true epitome of human achievement."-- Ajahn Chah, Living Dhamma
"To reach beyond fear and danger we must sharpen and widen our vision. We have to pierce through the deceptions that lull us into a comfortable complacency, to take a straight look down into the depths of our existence, without turning away uneasily or running after distractions." -- Bhikkhu Bodhi

Greetings, Bhante. Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."

Hi Bhante,
Not really or sort of (was offered citizenship due to being born there); my parents were stationed there with the U.S. military twice; the first time when I was 0 to 5 and the second time when I was 10 to 15 years old.
