Happy birthday, Ben!
"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "

"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "

Thank you again everyone for your kind wishes.
I've just returned from a wonderful night out with some of my siblings, my wife, mother-in-law, my children and a close family friend.
It was a beautiful night.
with metta,

Ben
