Greetings all, and thanks to Retro for setting up this new board.
So, for those who don't know me, I'm a Theravadin bhikkhu, living at the Marble Temple in Bangkok and currently studying Abhidhamma at Wat Rakhang and (starting next month) teaching Vinaya at Benchamabophitr College. I was born and raised in England, but have been an ex-patriate for the last 23 years. I have studied and practised with teachers in a number of the sub-traditions of the Theravada, but currently lean mostly towards rigorous Burmese-style pariyatti, and gentle Thai-style practice (especially as exemplified in the satipatthana teachings of the late Acharn Naeb).
Best wishes, Dhammanando Bhikkhu

Greetings venerable Dhammanando, Excellent to have you on board. I'm hoping we'll be able to get a few more members... even just enough to have a sustainable little group going on. Unfortunately critical mass seems to be a big challenge for discussion boards. Hopefully there's enough interest in a Theravadin board for this to get up and running. If you know anyone else who might be interested, please feel free to share the URL with them. Metta, Retro.
