Greetings venerable one-of-few-wants,

It is a genuine delight and pleasure to have such a fine upstanding monk such as yourself join us here.

To a layperson such as myself, you are a true inspiration.

Metta,
Retro. :)

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Always a joy to see your smiling face, venerable.

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
