Namasakarn to all Venerables and hellos to everyone else,

Didn't notice the Introductions section earlier so I posted in some other threads before here :smile:

Like many others, I found this site while lurking in ES. And I've noticed it's more active here, with more constructive discussions, too.

If my sharing here cannot be constructive, then let it not be destructive at least.

Greetings Salmon,

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

:hello:

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

Hi Salmon

Let's all swim upstream together here at Dhammawheel. :smile:

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.
(so I don't have to write "metta" every time!)

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