Hi & Welcome
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Hi Thaibebop
Nice to see you here at last!

Greetings Thaibebop,

My thoughts too!

I'm sure you'll recognise quite a few people from your previous online discussions.

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 everyone! This looks like it will be a fun place. I really need a good place to have productive discussions. Being married with two kids as well as a job and full time college student leaves me very little time to study the Dhamma. I was able to read the condensed Pali Cannon by Bhikku Bodhi but have not had a chance to explore the other translations. So, I am looking forward to what I might be able to learn here.
