Introduce yourself to others at Dhamma Wheel.
by Luke » Mon Nov 23, 2009 6:23 pm
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.
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 PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Hello Luke, nice to meet you

"But, Udāyi, let be the past, let be the future, I shall set you forth the Teaching: When there is this this is, with arising of this this arises; when there is not this this is not, with cessation of this this ceases." - Majjhima ii,32
