I just wanted to say thanks...

I may not have very much to contribute to discussions, but I just want to thank the admins, mods and members for all the information and help provided here. People dismiss the internet, but if it weren't for sites like this, I for one would be hard pressed to learn the things I am learning. Books are irreplaceable, sure, but they can't answer back when you ask a question. So to that end :bow:
"Compassion is that which makes the heart of the good move at the pain of others." - The Buddha

"May I be gentle-minded, cultivating the six paramitas, and never forget bodhicitta. May I completely cleanse without omission every negativity and all that obscures this awakening mind." - from Samantabhadracarya Pranidhana

Perhaps you're wiser than some of us who can't help but say things when it would better to remain silent :smile: but I join you in your thanks.
Patrul Rinpoche's advice about following a spiritual friend:

Just as the trunk of an ordinary tree
Lying in the forest of the Malaya mountains
Absorbs the perfume of sandal from the moist leaves and branches
So you become to resemble whomever you follow.

The joy of truly gratefulness for all, I think is very necessary to realize the meaning of the Buddha.
Since it is said: only by the grace of all, we can recognize our nature. "Others are the means".

Thank you for the kind words.

I would like to underscore that the administrators here at DharmaWheel are exemplary in their roles, investing a great deal of time and energy into this project (especially for volunteers). I'd like to express my gratitude for this.

:cheers:

I'm going to add my thanks - hardly post, but I come here most days and am learning a lot. I suspect there are many people who never even join who benefit from this site :-)
