[Symnunidanimb]

I remember Ajahn Brahm saying that the worst thing the Buddha would ever say to an errant monastic was, "misguided man!" Even before I started trying to follow the Dhamma, I had often heard it was a gentle path. It is amazing to compare my knowledge of Buddhism then to my knowledge of the Dhamma now, and to see how far I have come. We are fortunate beyond comprehension to live in a time when the Dhamma is available.
