Stay online guys, some members maybe late!
As Quinn said, there'll be a video shortly. My internet speeds been slowed to 64k so uploading is taking longer than anticipated.
I hope to have a link to it within the half-hour.

Time to break out the sparkling chamomile ice-tea!
Happy Birthday to Dhamma Wheel!!!

kind regards

Ben
Yes, Happy Birthday, Dhammawheel!

Sorry I couldn't make it to the member bomb, had work.

Anyway thank you David and Retro, so very very much for all that you have done for us, I really mean it. Thank you Ven. Dhammanando, Ben and Tilt Billings for all your hard work in maintaining DW as a great place for discussion of the Dhamma. Thank you to all the members whom have helped to deepen my understanding of the Buddha Dhamma.

Truely I am indebted to you all for you kindness and compassion, your friendliness and you wisdom. Wherever I go in life (and I suspect for a long time it will be nowhere near a computer) I will carry these fond memories with me.

May we all realize the Dhamma
May Dhamma wheel continue to flourish

Metta
Jack :heart:

p.s. Great video Ben!
