Hello from South Africa! New to Theravada Buddhism and to Dhamma Wheel

Post by Wolfie »

Hi all, great forum! I’m from SA, I used to be a Vajrayana practitioner for quite a number of years but increasingly found myself drawn to Theravada, I’ve done some study on Early Buddhism but not nearly enough. So here I am :anjali:

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
“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.”
