Hi Rowyourboat,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Have you been to the Sri Lankan vihara in Chiswick since you arrived in London?
Best wishes,
Dhammanando Bhikkhu

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

Greetings rowyourboat,
Lovely to see you here... I look forward to your involvement in discussions!
I have.
It was the first Theravada vihara I ever went to! If you scroll down two thirds of the way through this blog entry ( http://imagesoflondon2007.blogspot.com/ ... -west.html ) you can see my little 'review' of it. Well worth checking out if you're nearby!
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 Row the Boat,
Have you been to the Singalese Vihara in Selsdon? I keep thinking about going there.
We have quite a few SIngalese at Amaravati too, where I normally go.
Have a good weekend!
