Been a long time!
I used to frequent these boards and am now returning. Just wanting to say hello! My name is Kelly, Illinois, USA. Practicing Theravada Buddhism for about 8 years. How is everyone?!

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.
