Hello everyone,
I am new to Buddhism and am very glad to have stumbled onto this forum. I am currently in Okinawa, Japan in the U.S. military and feel like I have nowhere to go and nobody to talk to when it comes to learning more about Buddhism. I look forward to learning and talking with all of you!
Thanks in advance for the welcomes

Stuff related to Theravada in Japan
1 2 3 4And in the directory list of Theravada based centers/temples, do note on one particular group as discussed hereAnd if you want to know more about other Buddhist Traditions in Japan, try the sister site
hereBhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.Anguttara-Nikaya: Ekanipata: Ekadhammapali: PañhamavaggaWBB TBHT HBM AC My Page

Welcome.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.
Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
