Hi from China

My name is suppose to be Gaoxing but I made a mistake when I logged in, it's now Gaoxiang. I can't seem to correct the mistake.

Welcome! A mod might be able to help you change your name.
Either way, I hope you find a nice community here.

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Thanks for all the warm and friendly welcomes.
In Chinese Gaoxing means happy but Gaoxiang almost means 'much craving'. I prefer happy as it is also the name I was given by my Chinese students. I try to teach them English. I'm a South African on contract in China.
Thanks to all of those who offered to fix the name.
I'm certainly impressed by the amount of information available here.

Hi Dave
Thanks for fixing my name. Please accept my appologies.
Good to know there is Metta going around here.
Our Time Zones must be quite different.

Greetings Gaoxing,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,

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
