Christmas eve in the US coincides with Christmas Day in Australia!

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

Lama Zopa Rinpoche.Whenever you hear that someone else has been successful, rejoice.
Always practice rejoicing for others--whether your friend or your enemy.
If you cannot practice rejoicing, no matter how long you live, you will not be happy.
I rejoice and am so happy for the founders, moderators and members of this forum, past, present and to come.
Long may you, as DhammaWheel, keep rolling along!
With love from a too-infrequent visitor.

Hello everyone and greetings from southern Idaho, USA. I'm new to this group so hope to get to know everyone. I still am trying to learn how to post messages.

Greetings,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
Evidently you've now worked out how to post a message, since it appears just above this one of mine, but if you are experiencing any technical difficulties, feel free to ask in the Suggestion Box forum and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.
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
