Hello all,
Fairly new to Buddhism, my interest started from stumbling upon Dhamma talks on YouTube a couple of years ago when I was looking for ways to manage my stress, and now I'm digging a little deeper. Love this forum, it's a real catalogue of knowledge.
I'm Glaswegian, and am a big lover of Zumba and Siamese cats, amongst other things.

Re: Hi
Greetings,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
I was in Glasgow for a few hours in 2007 to see a Carter USM gig at Barrowlands. It was the evening after an Old Firm game. As you can imagine, other than the gig, I doubt I saw Glasgow at its finest.
Metta,
Paul.

Re: Hi
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.

Yes AB is a great Dhamma teacher.
I think I have seen this video.

Hi Meezer77. Welcome!
Last year I met an extremely impressive monk who was based in Glasgow. You might already know of him, but I'll make some enquiries and see if I can dig out his name and whereabouts for you.
The feelings about Siamese cats are shared. I've got a Birman at the moment. Not the world's brightest cat, but a fine creature.

Re: Hi
Is he reasonably priced and straightforward? As in he won't have me buying books I already have
Re: Hi
Well, I managed to avoid buying anything at all! He is the Venerable Rewatha Thero, and is based at the Glasgow Mindfulness Centre

It offers a very "secular" approach, and I was very impressed with this guy's teaching when he came south of the border. They seem to do taster sessions which are free, but then they charge. If they have puja, I would imagine these are free sessions as well.
