Daniel: Oh well, How extremely easy is to knock down a buddhist practicioner. A bit of breeze of reality and they can't handle it!. This is also a problem many practicioners from TNH have. I was mistaken and your heart is still petit. Good luck anyway. Mayka

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
