Introduction
Im glad I found this forum. I took refuge in Vietnamese Zen but I practice the Kadampa tradition since thats the only temple in my area. I look forward to speaking with Dharma practitioners and studying the Dharma as well.

Right speech is respect in agreements and disagreements alike.

Thank you. Exploring the features. I like the set up and all the options, topics, etc. The icons are cute.

Re: Introduction
Nice. Thank you. I've been going back and forth. We have a Theravada monastery I want to go to the retreat at about two hours from me sometime next year. The other temple is Theravada. The one I took refuge, everyone only speaks Vietnamese. I was lucky to have a translator. So, I'm in between. I know more Theravada though, weirdly enough. Most likely I stay on here, but that's cool you got two forums.Nicolas wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 8:24 pm Welcome, unveiledartist!

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.
