Hello from Wessex, UK

Post by Dave Samsara »

Hello all, I've been into Theravada and the Forest Tradition for over a decade, and thought it might be refreshing to share ideas via a forum!
Im a student psychiatric nurse, father of four, into punk and other noisy music, am a regular for puja at Hartridge Monastery, Devon.....
And I'll add more down the line!

Welcome.

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond. -- SN I, 38.
