Hi Aasha,

Welcome back again!

I think that is what you were saying about the Thai Forest Tradition Kaarine, in that they focus more on the practice and on the Buddha’s real message.

Those guys are really amazing. IMO, they reflect a very honest practice very close to what the Buddha ask for Bikkhus and Bikkhunis. Their teachings make easy the understanding of the ones of the historical Buddha. They do not mess with views, do not seem worried about them but in the direct resolve of what the Buddha taught. But it is just an impression because I have never met one of them, unfortunately... and seems I will never.

And yes, what you experience is very difficult, if not impossible, to put into words, no matter how hard you try - I agree. Sure... the only words that come to my mind are to contemplate anicca, dukkha and anatta. The careful contemplation of those.

I enjoy asking questions of everyone here because its interesting and good fun, and it motivates me to find out more and also to do the practice. And I enjoy your enthusiasm Aasha.
