Greetings everyone,
I'm from Singapore, middle-age, a journalist most of my life and now working as a Web content manager and editor for several public portals.
I'm actively practising Vipassana meditation at the Singapore Vipassana Mediation Centre under the guidance and instruction of our Burmese monks and teachers.
After almost 30 years as a cynical newspaper journalist reporting, commenting and expressing loud opinions on almost everything under the sun, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the only workable solutions and secrets of success have already been expounded by Lord Buddha in the Suttas.
I love to read articles and books on motivation, positive thinking and life's strategies, but again I realised -- after extensive browsing of the Suttas -- that everything expedient, practical and beneficial, can be found in the Blessed Lord's discourses.
I hope to learn from members of this forum the insights that you too have gained from studying the Holy Dhamma and from meditation practice.
Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
PS. I have a personal Web site for my own reading pleasure and self-development where I reproduced excerpts from Buddhist books and writings; you may like to check it out: http://frontpath.homestead.com

Hello,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
I felt like I found a new world after practising Vipassana meditation! It is indeed amazing that Gotama already expressed many insights into lives and lay lives even 2500 years ago and they are still most relevant in today's society and world!
Welcome again!

Meditate, don't be negligent, lest you may later regret it!

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
Perhaps you know of Ven. Dhammika? He is the spiritual director of Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society in Singapore. Right now he is on pilgrimage in the Himalayas, but maybe you have met him previously?
Although no longer calling himself specifically a Theravada monk, he still teaches from the Pali Canon.

Greetings Hsioshaung,
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

Welcome! I grew up in Singapore but live in Australia now. Hope to read more of your posts.
David: I visited Ven. Dhammika when I was in Singapore in June-July. Had a nice chat with him. Very kind of him to give me a copy of his book.
