Hello everyone

Postby MstChf » Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:51 am

I am interested in Buddhism but admit ignorance. I have read a few books and watched a few documentaries/movies about Buddha and Buddhism, but that's about it. I'm looking for some peace in my life (and on the internet).

Are there some documentaries you want to recommend?

Welcome!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

You are welcome here.

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.
