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.
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 PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Very good Tilt - keep this globe mild - if you please.
This noble eightfold path is the ancient path traveled by all the Buddhas of eons past. Nagara Sutta

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.

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

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,

This is awesome news. Tilt's Sutta-based wisdom is precious and wonderful.

Thank you all for the very kind words, and it is good to see a lot a of familiar "faces" here.
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

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
