Greetings everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that tiltbillings has accepted an offer to come on board with Dhamma Wheel as a global moderator.
He has moderating experience at other sites, has been a valuable long-term member at E-Sangha, and he brings with him to the role a wealth of knowledge and experience about Buddhism.
Please join me in congratulating tilt on his appointment.
Metta,
Retro.

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Very good Tilt - keep this globe mild - if you please.
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Congratulations tilt!
I promise to try to be moderate so as not to need moderating.

This is exciting and will benefit all of us. Tilt is a walking dhamma encylopedia! And he's fair to people and open-minded. Good pick, Dhammawheel staff.
Best wishes Tilt,
