Greetings,
I just wanted to bring to your attention the following new sub-forum in the General Dhamma section...
Early Buddhism
Textual analysis and comparative discussion on early Buddhist sects and texts.

In the very embryonic days of Dhamma Wheel we did have an Early Buddhism forum but we removed it as we neither had the traffic, nor enough collective interest in the subject to do it justice. Thankfully both of these factors have changed (with many thanks to venerable Paññāsikhara, in particular) and we're able to trial this concept once more.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions with regards to this new sub-forum, please feel free to comment!
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."

(I'll try to apply myself, but if the later Theravada Buddhism boggles me, I'm not too optimistic.....)

Translation: Just to stir things up seemed a good reward in itself.
I am sooooo happy - How on earth could I be otherwise?!

Great idea, thanks!

Great news.....
Re: New Early Buddhism sub-forum
Much welcome addition. Glad to see it's back.
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.

Great!
