Impossible to change the world to get what we want..
Impossible to change our country to get what we want..
Impossible to change our town to get what we want..
Impossible to change our family and friends to get what we want ..
But possible to change ourselves(myself)
whether they follow or not it up to them..

we clean our body everyday not to get smell because no one will approach us if we get smell.
But we forgot to clean our heart(mind,soul)since we were born .
Obviously dirty a day and a day ,the older we get the dirtiest we have ,more and more angry ,greedy until we die.
If we do not clean our body only people stay away from us but if we do not clean our heart both people and spirit will stay away .
That's why nowadays people can not see the spirit .
So we should not forget to clean our heart .
We should do concentration and meditation almost everyday to get clean and peaceful .

Please think your body!
-even though you feed,care and clean regularly
-never follow want you want to be
-older a day and a day
even though you don,t want to suffer from any decease
-never follow
even though you want to stay forever with your loving family and things
-never follow
-never care
it always ready for old ,death
How many life we pass though like this?
Do we want to be a life again ?
Holy Buddha had already shown the way how to do .
Please do not waste the time!
I am happy with talking about Dhama .Welcome anytime to this mail khinmaung_htay@yahoo.co.uk

I need help. Could someone please tell me where do I put the answers to my questions once I have read the lessons?

I love the practice of Mindfulness; it is so practical yet not 'easy'! It requires one to focus on the present, whatever IS there at that moment ... breath, body sensations, feelings, thoughts. We are all so familiar with them all; they are our old friends at times or at others, 'enemies' because they have been dragging us way beyond the present! Good practice.

hav faith to Buddha, Dharma and sangha......

I'm very-very happy to join with AWB. I hope Buddhism will still exist and followed by many people in the world, Sadhu sadhu sadhu.

how do i access lesson 6?

Have enough faith

A lot of people try everything to show that they truly believe in Jesus because they were told that if they truly believe in Jesus then He will listen to them and let them have what they wish for.

If they do not get what they wish, the common answer is that they do not have enough faith in Jesus. It makes sense; however, if they wonder how much faith is enough? Nobody will answer them directly except repeating the same “If…” It means that they have enough faith when they get what they wish for. It means that the whole thing is a catch 22. You get what you wish for if you have enough faith but you have enough faith when you get what you wish for.

For hundreds of years, millions of Christians made their wish with belief that they truly believed in Jesus. They included Popes, priests, pastors, and some persons who became Saints. Most of them did not get what they wished. Is that true that they did not truly believed in Jesus?

Furthermore, if all of people said above did not get what they wished because they did not have “enough” faith then who will?

Pope has the highest ranking in Catholics so his faith must be higher or at least equal to other Christians. If Pope still does not have enough faith, then the others are hopeless.

Many people tried to show that they truly believe in Jesus by even scarifying their own children. They tried in vain and a lot of children suffered or even died needlessly because nobody can achieve a catch 22.

Some people wished and got what they wished for but it does not means because they have “enough” faith. Non Christians who did not believe in Jesus also got what they wished too.

Please let the public know the truth so no more people especially children suffer needlessly because someone desperately tries to prove that he or she has enough faith in Jesus.

One 3000 word essay is required covering certain units and then the writer gets the Diploma in the mail.

For those who are continuing their studies and would like acknowledged and feedback this may be useful.

Hi,Im Bangladeshi Buddhist.I hope this is a super site for World Buddist community.Hello to all AWB members.

I can relate to comments in both previous posts-this is a good site to learn,get a "taste" of buddhism before pursuing further study and practice-and to interact with others interested in buddhism;but I have been guilty recently of neglect in this regard too-time and other circumstances have prevented me from being as active here(and other like communities)as I had hoped to be! I too like this site and hope to put the resources available here to better use in the future!
Hopefully others will too!

Hello, does anyone visit this site or is it dead before it even got started? I like the site, I hope it can grow and become a nice community for Buddhists of all traditions and for those new to Buddhism to share their views and knowledge.

Hello

I am a Counsellor who has been influenced in my practice by Caroline Brazier approach to Buddhist psychology.

This site appears really important for those who want to learn Buddhism without spending money or prematurely attaching to a Sanga.

It reaches out to those interested in Buddhism without being attached to a specific community or ideology.

Really refreshing. and unique!!

I just joined AWB and am planning to take your intro course on buddhism. I do not consider myself buddhist as yet,but I have been drawn to the path of the Buddha for many years. I am ready to learn and practice more, and perhaps soon I will be ready to take the vows of the three refuges! I look forward to interacting with all on this path and in this community!

hi i am a sri lankan buddhist journalist

Its really a blessing to see more people join our sangha.

Hi Kevin, I've created a new page called "Promotion" that has some links to banner code and also an email address for submissions so that you can send things to be added.

I have been sent new copies of free, online translations of Dogen's famous work, the Shobogenzo, in pdf form.
How can they be added here?
Also, how can we do more to promote this website?

I wish this site all the success in spreading Dharma, and look forward to geting to know the other members. Blessings.Andy.x

Welcome, this can become a great site for discussion and learning so spread the word. Blessings to all, Namaste

Just joined today and wanted to say, "Hello".
This looks like a new site, but one with a lot of potential. It is nicely arranged. The course content appears interesting. We just need to find a way to bring more people to take a look at it and participate.
I look forward to it!
Slán go fóill. Goodbye for now.
