(Re) Introduction

Postby Kim O'Hara » Wed Dec 09, 2009 5:54 am

Hi, everyone,
Quite a few of you know me - and I know you - from e-Sangha.
I went on holidays a couple of months ago and when I came back I found it had crashed. :cry:
After a while I gave up waiting for e-sangha to re-incarnate and looked around ... and here I am :smile:

You're remembered Kim! The gender-issues thread is still fresh in my mind.
Good to see you again :)

Greetings Kim,

Yes, of course we remember you!

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel! :buddha2:

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
