Hello Dhammawheel!

Postby AlexBreckwoldt » Thu Oct 11, 2012 5:59 pm

Hi! My name is Alex. I'm from Germany, so excuse the spelling and grammatical mistakes I am bound to make.
I'm 18 years old and I got into Buddhism about a month or two ago.
I don't really have any friends to discuss my views with, let alone get any help regarding my practice from, so I thought it would be great to become a part of this wonderful community.

PS: I quite enjoy the bandwidth of emoticons which I am able to choose from.

Hi Alex and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Welcome aboard! Please feel free to post topics or private message me or anything like that. I hope you find your stay fruitful!
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.
- Lokavipatti Sutta

Stuff I write about things.

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