Moin

Post by puthujjana »

I have noticed that although I joined some time ago, I haven't introduced myself yet...

So...

Moin, my name is Christian.

I discovered Dhammawheel by searching via google where some "Grey Forum Users" have gone.
I love to be here. There are so many wise, sage users around here from whom I can learn a lot.

Althoug I'm able to understand almost everything you are writing, my English skills aren't well enough to take part in the discussions. So I will stay silent and just read :coffee:

Hi
nice to of already met you,
I guess would be apropriate here? :juggling:
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Moin, moin!

:hello:
Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

“His deliverance, being founded upon truth, is unshakeable. For that is false, bhikkhu, which has a deceptive nature, and that is true which has an undeceptive nature—Nibbāna. Therefore a bhikkhu possessing this truth possesses the supreme foundation of truth. For this, bhikkhu, is the supreme noble truth, namely, Nibbāna, which has an undeceptive nature.

Hi, Christian!

Ed
Sīlaṃ balaṃ appaṭimaṃ.
Sīlaṃ āvudhamuttamaṃ.
Sīlamābharaṇaṃ seṭṭhaṃ.
Sīlaṃ kavacamabbhutaṃ.

Virtue is a matchless power.
Virtue is the greatest weapon.
Virtue is the best adornment.
Virtue is a wonderful armor.

Theragatha 614


Sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṃ,
kusalassa upasampadā,
Sacittapariyodapanaṃ,
etaṃ buddhāna sāsanaṃ.

Refraining from all wrong-doing,
Undertaking the good,
Purifying the mind,
This is the teaching of the buddhas.

Dhammapada v. 183/14.5

Hi Christian,

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel. :smile:

Best wishes,

directly visible, immediate,
Where not in vain is the going forth
of one who trains heedfully.”
