Greetings!

Post by yato »

Hello, my name is Yato, and I just joined this forum today. Thank you for having me, Sangha, I am honored. I have been studying and practicing Buddhadhamma for almost seven years, now, but have only begun to feel drawn to Theravada within the last year or so. I hope to have many fruitful discussions with you.

Humbly,
Yato

Yato (夜ト) is one of the main protagonists of Noragami. He is a god that is unknown to people. His current Shinki and guidepost is Yukine, two silver katanas.

Hello! My name is Yato (野兎) -- different kanji, same pronunciation :)

I have heard of Noragami, yes. And I am from America, though my ancestors are from Japan.

Greetings Yato and welcome to DW!
I look forward to your contributions!
“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.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

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

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.
