Please congratulate Robertk - DW's new moderator!

Postby Ben » Sun May 27, 2012 9:59 am

Dear all,

I have pleasure in announcing that Robertk has been made a moderator here at Dhamma Wheel for our Classical Mahavihara Forum.
Robertk has an extensive knowledge of the Tipitaka (inc. the Abhidhamma), the ancient commentarial literature and Pali. Robert has been a long-standing member of the Dhamma Study Group in Bangkok and student of Sujin Boriharnwanaket. I am sure many of you are familiar with Robert's contributions here.
When Robertk is not here, he can be found as administrator of his own forum Abhidhamma Vipassana
Its great to have you on-board, Robert!
with metta,

Ben

Good Choice Ben!

May your moderatorship be as smooth as can be Robert!

Greetings Robert,

Thanks.

:thanks:

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

Thanks all!
I will try to keep my new powers as mod within the classical forum, and please be patient if I am slow to look in from time to time. I live in Bangkok but travel often: next month to Sri lanka.

The classical section and a drinking stoned cat.... kewl :tongue:
Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

Robert is one of those special people that you tend to feel really lucky to know. Why? Because not only is Robert's extensive knowledge of the Dhamma very impressive, his passion is inspirational, and his good natured and kind character make him one of a kind. The world needs more people like Robert, imo. He really is a special kind of person (sorry to put you on the spot like that!)

Congratulations.
