Hi Bradley
I am looking forward to getting to know you on Dhamma Wheel!
You might find at some point that the suttas, commentaries and works by latter-day scholars and teachers might actually help to illuminate the path for you.
kind regards

Ben

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Thank you very much for the replys, I look forward to getting to know you too.

Thats such a very nice way of putting it! Yes, this is what I'm hoping for by coming out of my (sort of) seclusion. Thats not to say what I've been doing up to now has been fruitless, far from it, but its definatly time for me to start reaching out more.
Thanks for the advise Ben, and for the welcome Retro :D

Welcome Bradley!

:anjali:
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.
