Hello all.
My name is Dave.
I am so very glad to have found the Dhamma Wheel community.
What I have read here so far is wonderful.
I look forward to taking part.

Thank you for your kind welcomes Manapa & David 'The Dhamma' Snyder.
Manapa: I see you are from Aberdeen. I myself am just outside Edinburgh.
The Dhamma: Curiously enough, a friend of mine just became a friend of yours on Facebook.
Hope you are both well.

The Isle of Man is a place I have never visited actually. I hear it is lovely.

it depends on wha you enjoy, it is a mini-Scotland in many ways as my Gran used to say (she was Scotish), beautiful views etc, and if you like bikes there is no better place than here when the races are on.

Greetings Dave,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Go Hibs!

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
