Hi yawares,

Yes, I'd love to see Thailand one day. So far I have only been to India, Nepal, and the Middle East, in the continent of Asia.

No, I prefer just tea, discussion, and meditation, too geeky I guess. :ugeek:

Don't try to take me to a Disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll


In my case, it might be more like 10 seconds I'll be late for the door.

Dear David,
Thai Classical Dance is NO DISCO...no need for you to be on the dance floor....just watch!

Great photo!

Greetings,

And very enjoyable and interesting. I could have stayed all day discussing more and more points of Dhamma .

The International Theravada Moderator Convention.

Awesome.

:clap:

Thanks for the pic share.

Metta,

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)

Lovely pictures, I'd love to meet some Monks or visit Thailand.

If there are any Buddhists around the 3 counties (Herts, Beds & Bucks) in the UK, I'd love to meet some of you :)

Try Amaravati Buddhist Monastery just outside Hemel Hempstead.
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!
