Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.

Re: Hello
Welcome!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

I really like it when people greet others with "I hope you are doing good" and not "I hope that you are feeling well". Doing good kamma is more important than how we happen to be feeling right now.
Here in the UK, very often instead of the standard greeting "How are you?" (which I don't quite like either), they say "Are you okay?" or "Are you alright?". A much better question would be "Are you doing good [things]?" because it is not so important how we feel at present (which is up and down all the time.. and what are we supposed to say when we're not?), which we can't do much about anyway, and takes the focus off of what is important: namely, to do what is good and avoid what is bad in the present moment so that we feel better the next.
Anyway, this is said with a light tone, not to be taken too seriously, but I do wish society didn't place such emphasis on the quality of feelings, but rather - on the quality of actions.
Anyway, I am doing good, and I also hope that you are doing good, too!
Have fun doing good on this forum, too! Many good people here.
