Hello

Hello dear Theravadins,

This is Luke from Dharmawheel. I practice the Kagyu teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, but I created an account here so I could talk about the Pali Canon and other related topics when I feel the urge.

I think that Thai Buddhist temples are very beautiful.

May all beings attain enlightenment.

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

Greetings Luke,

Welcome to this side of the fence.

:hello:

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
