Resignation
Hi all,
I am writing to announce that I have resigned from my role as moderator on Dharma Wheel. I want to take a moment to thank PorkChop, Ayu, and Kim for their help training me. Unfortunately, I feel I am not in the right place right now to be a moderator, so I am going to step down.
I hope that someone else from the forums will step up to fill my role, hopefully better than I ever did.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hope it wasn't because I shat you to tears!

Re: Resignation
Shut the front door!
Clear!
Make personal specific vows to [for example, absorb karma of sentient beings], so that they can reach enlightenment quickly. With deep faith and trust, effects will be experienced immediately. If we can’t fulfill our vows, no problem Buddhas will help us do us; thus generate merit and strength to speed us up and lead us straight to unborn wisdom. This is not a matter of truth or not but faith and willingness. That’s what I was taught. Be aware take karma of sentient beings can be overwhelming. Only do what we are capable of.

Re: Resignation
Nah, there was actually something going on in my personal life that de-stabilized my emotional condition. I felt I am not fit to be a moderator at this time.Grigoris wrote:Hope it wasn't because I shat you to tears!
