Hi all.
I'm Mikael, 45 years old from Scotland and have been interested in Buddhism for about a year.
I'm desperately seeking a teacher as there is nothing near me and travelling is unfortunately not an option.
Anyway, enough rambling. Looking forward to getting involved.

Re: Mikael from Scotland
Greetings,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
(Pro tip: As you search for a teacher, immerse yourself in the Suttas of the Buddha. Then if/when a teacher comes, you'll be better equipped to know whether what they teaches is truly reflective of the Dhamma of the Buddha. If you have any questions about what you read, feel free to ask here and people will do their best to share their perspectives).
Metta,
Paul.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

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.
