Re: Dhamma Wheel members online "bomb"
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.

I'm here, but looks like we only made it to 80.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis

Ah, happy b/day to Dhammawheel, of course.

Stay online guys, some members maybe late!Annabel wrote:I saw 80 as well.
As Quinn said, there'll be a video shortly. My internet speeds been slowed to 64k so uploading is taking longer than anticipated.
I hope to have a link to it within the half-hour.
Time to break out the sparkling chamomile ice-tea!
Happy Birthday to Dhamma Wheel!!!
kind regards

I suppose the day/s chosen wasnt exactly the easiest to get a turn out

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.

Greetings,
I suspect 80 might be the most number of members we've had on at one time, regardless.... I suspect the 99 record involved a whole lot of computer-generated bots etc.
It was nice seeing you all here.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things
