Thank you for helping setting up this forum, and for returning to service when you had the conviction that it was necessary. Also many thanks for being responsive to members concerns and requests. Maybe the volume of your input as admin will be gone, but please feel free to continue to contribute as dhamma practitioner. :anjali:

HI Retro,

Thank you for your service, maybe you will have time to post even more :smile:

I'm not ashamed to say that whenever I saw the red name "Retrofuturist" in a thread I opened it with trepidation to read your brilliant observations and your particular point of view.

Now that "I am an admin" will not occur anymore, you're one burden less to become a sage at peace :smile:

Dear Retro: Why do I feel sad suddenly?
Where is my equanimity?
"Be like the pillar planted 6 foot deep in the ground, unshaken by the winds"
somewhere I read amidst Buddha's words.
But then, such pillars get broken too.
If not for anything else, I admired your understanding of Dependent Origination, and Salayatana. So few
are they, who truly understand.
Those convictions of yours gave me strength to go further on my path.
Once when I was struggling with something in Khandha Samyutta, or was it some other time? you said "Go read everything you can get hold of, in Earliest Buddhism." I thought you meant 'before Sectarianism'
I did, so there, you created a path for me, that I will always be grateful for.
May your path be so, as the ones you created for others.
With love and Best wishes.

Thank you for many, many years of great work serving the dharma and the online sangha.

Fare Thee Well Paul. :bow:

Drop into Dharma Paths now & again - it is too moribund.
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

Greetings all,

Thank you for the kind words, and thank you also for having wished Sam Vara all the best, now that he has been appointed as David's co-admin.

:anjali:

Metta,
Paul. :)

Thanks for all man. DW is not a forum, it's the shanga, the only shanga some or probably most of us have. The merit for spreading the dhamma and helping so many of us progress further on the path is impossible to quantify. It's a great shanga and also a free one. Again, thanks for all!
