I hope you won't mind if I keep my intro short... for now... though I suppose if I say more later it won't be an intro anymore will it? well anyway... I'm from Pennsylvania (US), 33 years old, a widower, a student, and interested in learning/growing/being (or whatever word works best). I wasn't really raised in religious homes, and spent my late teens and 20's in Christianity (Protestant and then Eastern Orthodox).

Welcome Justin!
What part of Pennsylvania? I lived in the Reading/Allentown area of Pennsylvania for over 20 years.

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.

Hi Justin and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
“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.”

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

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