Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa
Homage to the Exalted One, the Worthy One, free from all mental pollutants, the Perfectly Self-Enligthened One
I recently rediscover this forum and i rejoice to see here fellow Dhamma treaders of the Path from all around the world, striving as much as one can to follow the Buddha's noble teaching. It is very nice to see that. So much suffering in the world and in ourselves..
The forces of adhamma are very strong...
And everyone of us, each time we strive to lit the light of Dhamma in our mind/heart - may it be only a small and tiny candle - participate to strengthen the forces of Dhamma, and build more peace in ourselves and in the world...
Daughter of the Buddha,
Working to free the mind from suffering
Trying my best to claim my genuine inheritance and
Become a true owner of the Sasana
Sending much mettā and muditā to all of you

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

"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."

Welcome Ayya!
I too am interested in knowing for how long you are ordained and where you are staying, if you don't mind telling
It's a big fortune for the members here to have more monks and nuns around, thank you for coming here!

Dear Dhamma friends,
Thank you for your greeting.
Monks and nuns are usually more inclined to talk about Dhamma than themselves...
But I understand that you may want to know more about this nun, newly arrived in this forum.
I have been practicing for about 17 years. I was ordained nearly 9 year ago in Burma where I have been staying most of the time - and traveling when necessary.
With much metta
May all beings be free from dangers, happy, healthy. May they be able to take care of the burden of the 5 khanda with joy.

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

Greetings ayya,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel and thank you for the intro note.
Metta & mudita,
Retro.
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel and thank you for the intro note.
Metta & mudita,
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
