Hey I'm James.
Started studying dhamma about a month ago. Starting to hit my stride with regular meditation practice and dhamma study. Looking for a place to read discussion and find a Theravada community.
I'm a barista at Starbucks, and I am attending college part-time. I enjoy the outdoors quite a bit. Also, I consume non-fiction pretty voraciously, be it news, books, or podcasts. The latter two tend to be fairly science focused.
Looking forward to reading your posts, and perhaps jumping in at some point!
Greeting from the Pacific Northwest!

Welcome James!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hi James and welcome to DW!
“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!
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.
