Delurking

Postby black_tea » Sat Feb 16, 2013 3:54 pm

Hi,

I've been lurking around the site for awhile now and finally decided to join and post. I'm fairly new to Buddhism -- I first discovered it around 10 years ago, but was afraid it wasn't for me so I backed away from it rather quickly. I eventually did come around (only took me a decade). Anyway, I'm most interested in Pure Land. Nice to meet you all :hi:

Welcome black_tea (he says as he sips from his mug full of strong black tea!).

I hope you will find Dharma Wheel informative and interesting.

Welcome. :)
Could always use more Pure Land folks.
Like the other poster said, lots of Pure Land links on the East Asian Buddhism/Pure Land subforum.
