Hello all.....

Post by wabi-sabi »

Hi folks,
My name is Cliff, and I am very happy to have stumbled upon this forum while trying to find answers to some questions. Since I'd first read about Buddhism through Thoreaus writings some 20ish years ago, I've been fascinated with this "middle way". Now, turning 37 shortly, I've committed to actually setting forth on this path of liberation, wisdom and love for myself, our family and for all others who might become inspired to do likewise........

Welcome Cliff!

: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.

Greetings Cliff 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.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

Welcome Cliff. :)

After you read the Tipitika, will you make notes? :thumbsup:

Get it?

OK, I'll quit there. :)
