Hello to all:
A little about me I live in the northeast of the United States, my wife and I became vegataren in October last year,While in our local library looking for a book on being a vegataren, I spotted a book by His Hollenes on compassion. I finished it and wanted to learn more. Many online books, and the web site ATI. Now here. Thank you

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

Great, I found the site Access to Insight from a Buddhist friend about 7 years ago and have referenced it much ever since. I am new here as well and am glad to see the site is active and growing
Evil is caused by and is the cause of future suffering, abandon at all costs! Cultivate virtuous qualities and live the happy life! Just as all wise human endeavors, from Physics to Philosophy, approach the Dhamma; be fearless in your reverence for it- The time for the True Law is yet to dawn in the west!!

Welcome Kevin!
All the world is on fire, All the world is burning, All the world is ablaze, All the world is quaking. That which does not quake or blaze, That to which worldlings do not resort, Where there is no place for Mara:That is where my mind delights. (SN 5.7)
By degrees, little by little,
from moment to moment,
the wise purify themselves,
as a smith purifies silver.
