Re: Hello from Chile.
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.

Re: Hello from Chile.
What's hard to understand? And do you have any practice or study communities in this tradition in your area?

Re: Hello from Chile.
Hi Dharmavital, I just popped in here, to say hello to you. Some of the things you wrote elsewhere impressed
me.
like this ...
In your intro, you wrote something like "Suttas are hard to figure out" which means you are really reading the suttas...
They are hard for the beginner, since Buddha did not say all the things that suttas write. Suttas were compiled using "Fragments" of Buddha's teachings floating around. So Suttas are full of other's words too.
One of the first things I had to do, was figure out which are the words of the Buddha, and which are not.
That understanding goes a long way.
On another thread you asked about the "impermanence of the body" and suttas to support that.
How do you understand the word body? the answer will depend on the context?
I did not wish to participate in each one of the above threads.
But I thought this would be a good way to get your attention. To kill many birds with one stone sort of...
With love
me.

That was a pretty cool thing for a beginner to say, and the last line would imply many things.When you know and understand the Dhamma by yourself, you are in the other shore.
Once you arrive to the other shore, you can cast away the raft.
We cannot cast away the raft before arriving the other shore.
We should not cast away the raft now.

One should become the master of one’s mind rather than let one’s mind master oneself.
