To all my friends:
I have been away for a few days, being busy, and I came back to an overwhelming
number of posts since my last visit. Many of these are related to my own
postings. I am sorry that I don't have time to respond to all these posts, but
I will do my best to read through them all. I have found that the time I spend
interacting on this board has been prohibitive to getting my own projects done,
and so I've decided to sign off permanently. That way I won't be tempted and
get sucked back in. This decision is reinforced by my sense that my presence
here is really not very useful, either to others or myself. I have ended up as
the voice of the Theravada on this board, and that was not my original
intention, since my practice has evolved so as not to be recognizably Theravada
any more. Besides, this is unnecessary, since any who are interested can read
any number of good books on the subject. I am therefore asking the moderators
to discontinue my membership here.
I want to thank you all for your patience, your time and your posts. Any who
wish to are welcome to email me privately on my email account as listed here on
this board.
Happy Dharma faring to all!
Daniel
PS: for those interested, here are some books on the Theravada that I recommend:
The Heart of Buddhist Meditation; Nyanaponika Thera
In This Very Life; Sayadaw U Pandita
The Progress of Insight; Mahasi Sayadaw (available on the web)
Great Disciples of the Buddha; Nyanaponika Thera and Hellmuth Hecker
The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha; translated by Bhikkhu Nanamoli and
Bhikkhu Bodhi
