mikenz66 - helping out as a global moderator

Postby retrofuturist » Thu Jan 27, 2011 8:54 am

Greetings,

Due to unprecedented traffic here at Dhamma Wheel, Mike is going to be filling in as a Global Moderator for the time being.

We'll review the situation in the near future... taking into account factors like site traffic and whether we're overloading him with things to do (given that he's also very active as Study Group leader, as I'm sure you've noticed).

Please make Mike feel welcome in this new role.

:thumbsup:

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

Yay, Mike!!!

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

Fantastic!
