Hello DhammaWheel!
My name is Jake, I am currently 19 years old and living in Perth, Ontario. I came across Buddhism a number of years ago and while the teachings didn't instantly resonate with me, over time they have come to be more and more important to me. I haven't actually attended a monastery yet even though there is a Thai Forest sangha very close to me. But I plan to! I've joined this forum to further my knowledge of the Dhamma, and hopefully participate in some good discussion!

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

Greetings Jake and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
