Seemed like an appropriate place to say hello to one and all and thanks for creating this wonderful venue. I'm potty trained now, so I promise not to post in the Theravada areas.
Thanks again and best wishes.

hi and welcome

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

great to see some wise old and not so old faces here - guess i'll be listening more than speaking here.

I have no idea, but in any case Shoey lives in the same city as my mother, so I can always send her round to his place if he needs instruction in the correct use of a potty.genkaku wrote:Dhammanando! Bite your tongue! Are you sure he's house-broken?

I'm surprised to hear that. I thought she'd long since given up hope on that score.shoey wrote:was just chatting to your lovely mum the other day Ven Dhammanando,she still hopes that one day you'll get a proper job.
Indeed. As you're in Nottingham, would you happen to know if Alan McCormick's Soto group that used to meet on Millicent Road in West Bridgford is still a going concern?(wouldnt it be interesting if i did actually know your mum,and not know it.small world eh ?)
