Hi everyone - looking for a decent forum to discuss Buddhism - I'm living in a Theravada temple at the moment as a lay-person - going to become a monk in the Thai tradition - not a forest monk though, not yet at least. Got loads of questions, hopefully a few answers to share too.
Metta to you all

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Since the abbot of the Buddhavihāra is from Wat Mahādhātu, am I right in thinking that he teaches the Mahāsi Vipassanā Satipaṭṭhāna method?

Greetings Gwyddion and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

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

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel! Anumodana to you on your noble endeavor!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Welcome Gwyddion!
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.

The temple is not called buddhavihara anymore it is actually the representative temple of wat mahathat in England and is now called way mahathat itself. Vippassana is not a major practice at this temple in kings Bromley, but it is my personal specialism despite this. The shari'a specialism seems to be pali and chanting.
