Hey from Delaware
Hey from Delaware
Hey yall, how's everyone doing. My names Andy and I have been agnostic/atheist for a while now. I know what I believe in and just haven't quite found anything that seems to fit. From what I have read and seen Buddhism as been the closest to what I believe. I'm looking to learn more about buddhism and see if it's meant for me. I don't like how people follow organized religion. It seems to have caused alot of problems in this world. I am looking forward to learning from you all and maybe even help others.

Welcome!
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.

Hi Andy and welcome to DW!
“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.

Welcome Andy!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
