Mod Team - Coming and Going

Post by Queequeg »

Pardon the belated announcement:

Please welcome the newest member of the Mod Team, long time member, Jake.

Also, thank you to Seeker12 and Virgo who have stepped down.

Round of applause. :cheers: :applause: :group:
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

Mod team changes. Please welcome Anders and narhwal90 to the moderating team. :smile:

I'd like to offer a very big thank you to Queequeg, who has stepped down after being a moderator since April 2016. :smile:

Just a small update. Me and dear Hazel have taken up the duty of modding this wonderful place. Please be nice (to us and each other) and pray that the awesome power won't get into our heads. :tongue:
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.
