Hi All!

Post by mahat »

Hi all!

Have been a practicing Buddhist for many years and am not too crazy about forums since they become too addictive. I'll probably drop in a few times and hopefully learn and hoping I can be of some help to others understand a few things as well. Then I might disappear if I see I'm posting too much. :tongue:

Thanks David! Theravada is so fundamental, in Mahayana, there are so many mantras and sutras promising fantastic things…I got way too tuckered out and just let it all go-- it all went back to "Focus on breathing in, breathing out"…there's nothing like Anapansati! :heart: :heart: :heart: It's the most relaxing yet focused practice ever devised. It clears up asavas like nothing else.

Hi Mahat and welcome to DW!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Welcome!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
