Introduce yourself to others at Dhamma Wheel.

Hi I’m new here. Found this forum trying to find out what happened to e-sangha.
Anyway, I got into Buddhism a few years ago and am at a point where I have realised just how life changing this stuff really is. Still have so much to learn though.
I started out in Theravada and then swapped to Zen for a while (hence my username) and now I’m looking back to Theravada because I want to have a better understanding of the doctrine.
Looks like you have a good community happening here.

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

Greetings Zen,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
Also, if you want to talk Zen, there's a couple of online options too, including Zen Forum International, and Dha
rma Wheel (as linked to in my signature).
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)

Life changing indeed! Welcome aboard.
Metta,
Phil
I hope that every time I post it will be accompanied by a wish for the wellbeing of everyone in this sangha and all beings.
