Blessings be upon this site.
Some of you might know me from ES and other places.
I am yer token non-Buddhist who hangs around picking up knowledge and sometimes throwing in the odd comment, or making the tea and baking cakes.
Don't come to me with esoteric questions or philosophy but if you need a large sympathetic shoulder or a world of experience in the harder side of life ... I'm yer witch. Looking forward to this site - friendlier, softer, less abrasive?

...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

OK not "tokenistic" but maybe "tolkeinesque" ....Well, I'm here if you need me ... which is a point - someone better show me where the kitchen is because there seems to be a severe lack of tea and home-made cookies on this site.

You mention cake, Where is the Cake???
Hi anyway
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Right .... everything in the kitchen seems to have been brought in second hand from somewhere else but I've got it all working now ............ so pile on in and help yourselves to a nice cup of tea and an oat cookie or slice of fruit cake (don't worry - virtual cake is calorie and allergen free!)
Now, I'm going to be in the corner in my rocking chair knitting if anyone wants to chat to me. Enjoy

Greetings Placid Pool,
Lovely to see you here. I hope we can fulfil your expectations for this site... we'll certainly do our best.

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 Panyapatipo
