Hello I'm new here.
Hello everybody, as you guessed I am some what new to buddhism. but the only difference is that I have read some dharma books. I know a little about buddhism. I have been a new buddhist before. but I gave it up because frankly I thought it was crap. I later realized that buddhism is not just for people to be blissed out and high on happiness all the time. There is a lot of hard work involved, but it is worth it. I am struggling on trying to have compassion for the most evil of beings, realizing that there suffering is coming slowly like poisioned water. It sounds good in the temple during sunday meditation service, but in real life, it is a great challenge. and that is me right now. Back to you Ken!

Best wishes.
