Greetings to everyone!
My name is Phra Sander Khemadhammo. I have been ordained as a Buddhist monk since 2005, in Thailand. I look forward to discuss some Dhamma on this group.

I have been to Amsterdam twice, when I was a child and another when I was a teenager when my birth family and I lived in Deutschland.
A few years ago I read the interesting life story about the Dutch member of parliament, Ayan Hirsi Ali in her book, Infidel.

Hi Bhante!
Welcome to dhamma Wheel!
maybe you have some thoughts on the training which you could share here http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.ph ... 6&start=40" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if you would be so kind, it isn't a specifically training orientated thread but certainly wouldn't be outside of the intention of the thread.
but on a side note I need to learn another language all these perfect non-native english speakers and writers are giving me an inferiority complex (or should I focus on my English ability first??? )
hope to speak to you on occassion

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.

“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.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,

(I agree)
Okay, I admit I had to use the dictionary for that one, but one day I'm hoping my Pali will be good enough not to check the dictionary very often.
