Hello all,
I have been away for quite some time, getting to know my true self and studying the Five Precepts.
Recently, I have had some very unfortunate events.. I have lost a very close friend, I am having financial trouble and had a fall out with a relative of mine.
I was in and out of hospital due to personal issues with my mental health.
All in all, I am trying to see the positive sides of everything that has happened. I realized that I have survived through all of the misfortune so in some aspect, I must be strong and can walk on whatever the outcome of my situations are.
Hopefully soon someday I will reach Nirvana.

Welcome back Still Searching!
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.

Re: I have returned but still learning
It's lovely to see you all again!
I forgot to mention, I lost my home, too!
But I am currently in a temporary accommodation and looking for a new flat so I have a place to stay and am safe and sound.
I hope you all had a lovely, wonderful summer!
Winter is soon upon us so let's hear what's happened and changed so for, what has everyone been upto?
