Greetings from Russia

Postby onmitt » Thu Nov 12, 2009 8:30 pm

Hi all !
Been practicing Theravada since 2001.
I'm glad I found this place... with like minded people to talk to, because where I live Theravada is nonexistent :alien:

Welcome, onmitt. :smile:

Mind is Empty
Emptiness is Clear Light
Clear Light is Union
Union is Great Bliss

Hi Onmitt

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
For most of us, Theravada is non-existent where we live!
I look forward to read your contributons!

Welcome friend

Greetings Onmitt,

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

:buddha1:

Metta,
Retro. :)
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

You may also find like-minded people at http://dhamma.ru/forum/ , if you have not been there already.
