Hello from Sweden

Post by RolandS »

Greetings. I am 75 years old, and my interest in Buddhism began in the mid 1990s when I came across Introduction to Insight Meditation by Joseph Goldstein. Since then I have read much Vipassana literature and have tried to teach myself meditation.
I have only been on one 5 day retreat. Most recently I became interested in jhana meditation, but am a total beginner.

Welcome!

:anjali:
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.

Welcome :hello:
“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.”
