Hello, my name is David. I live in Denmark. I've been practising meditation since 1995, 3 years theravada (very close to Thanissaro Bhikkhu) and now I'm digging into chan/zen.
Thank you for this place.
I will surely come to ask questions.
Best wishes,
david

Welcome aboard David.
Look forward to discussing with you.
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.

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

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Greetings and welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
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)
