Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
Re: Greetings From Brooklyn
Welcome Cathy!
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.

Welcome to DW Cathy! I live in Manhattan myself! It's nice to see fellow New Yorkers!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
