Hello

Post by zenfrog »

Hello everyone, I'm newly travelling this road, I'm interested in Paganism and Buddhism and think they can be combined. I am looking forward to learning much about Buddhism on this board.

Welcome.

Welcome aboard

Just remember that even the gods will die, nothing lasts forever :guns:
"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed & cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."

Welcome zenfrog!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Greetings ZF and welcome to DhammaWheel!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

Thanks everyone .. I have some silly questions as just starting on this road, but will look through the message board first and see if anyone else has asked them ;-)
