Hi, friends, my name is Arturo, nice to meet you (:
I found this forum while googling some questions about Uposatha, and decided to join. I’d been “into” Buddhism on and off for a few years now, but really committed to and embraced the religion last year.
Where I live, as far as I know, there are no sanghas of Theravada practitioners (or at least not ones that seem serious; I’ve mostly found groups emphasizing “mindfulness” and other New Age-y stuff), so I’m hoping this forum might substitute my sangha to some extent.
I am, so far, in love with the teachings of the Buddha, and I hope I can learn a lot more from you.
Lots of goodwill,
–A.

Welcome on board
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

Welcome!
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.
