Hello FreeSangha,

I was a user of E-Sangha and other Buddhist forums for a few years, I am glad to see what looks like a more open minded and kind approach to a Buddhist forum. I look forward to using the forum.

My gratitude goes to those who work to make such a forum possible, it is infinitely beneficial and useful. Namaste

Best wishes,
Ben Yuan

Hello Ben,

Many of us here participated in e-sangha before its unfortunate unraveling some months ago.  I hope you enjoy this new forum, learn, teach, and laugh with the rest of us, and that we have ample opportunity to converse.

Best wishes,
heybai

"Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world."

Geshe-la.

Shantideva is my hero. 

(I'm not sure if that's within Buddhism-etiquette to refer to someone as a hero, but darnit!  I aspire to be Shantideva, perhaps one day....)

Welcome Ben Yuan, it is very nice to see you here!  May your time with FreeSangha benefit all here!
