Dear all,
Greetings. I am a novice monk, 32 years old from Malaysia. I had seriously learned about the Dhamma since 18 years ago, obtained two bachelor degrees. One in Physics (from National University of Singapore), one in Buddhism (from Buddhist and Pali College Singapore).
I have a blog on Physics and Buddhism: physicsandbuddhism.blogspot.com for those who are interested in this field, welcome to visit, read then ask me questions if you still have some.
I was active in reddit, r/Buddhism as u/DiamondNgXZ, and in sutta central discuss and discover forum as Ng Xin Zhao.
Currently I am going though my first round of reading the 4 Nikayas for this rains retreat. Finished the long discourses, on middle now.
Question about the forum as I am new here: is multiple tread on the same topics not allowed? That is should we find the forum for the previous topic if we want to open a discussion?
Hi, I am Venerable Pannadipa, a novice monk

Gidday Venerable Sir, Welcome!
Do you know Ajahn Thitavijjo? He is Malaysian, living in Malaysia now I think.

Welcome to the forum, Ven. Pannadipa.
There are multiple threads on the same topic, but the sake of tidiness and ease of finding them it is better if people could stick to just one thread if they can. You can use the search function to find them.

No. How do you tag people in this forum? @JamesTheGiant Do you get notification when I reply like this?

I'm impressed that you can still use Reddit and the internet while you're a monk because for me the sensual temptation is way too much on the internet! Well done Venerable.

I personally like fresh topics instead of using old topics because we change our views as we go.
However, I provide links to old threads sometimes if I think I have nothing to add or there is too much info to share with.

Re: Hi, I am Venerable Pannadipa, a novice monk
Haha. My internet is actually limited to 2h 15 mins per week. Then I could visit reddit, but I am inactive there nowadays. The whitelisted websites my monastery has for us to use 24/7 now includes the suttacentral forum and just recently added this forum. So I had been shifting my activeness.JamesTheGiant wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 6:45 am I'm impressed that you can still use Reddit and the internet
Reddit in general indeed is very challenging, bad in the long term. I usually just hang in r/Buddhism, but some users have dangerous links to dangerous subreddits. Sometimes, it is better not to click on their profile to judge their level of Dhamma knowledge.

Greetings,
Metta,
Paul.
Either is allowed. I look forward to reading your questions as you work through the Sutta Pitaka.DiamondNgXZ wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 2:34 am Question about the forum as I am new here: is multiple tread on the same topics not allowed?

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.

Maybe one can alert promptly: "SOS @DNS! The discussions are getting out of control, as usual!"

To me, he was a great Elder. All books written by him are very beneficial to laymen like us.

Not personally, my dad's generation might be his students. I was just getting interested in the Dhamma when he passed away, didn't know his impact at all at the time.Ontheway wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 3:02 pmDo you happen to know Ven.
