Read the stories of how people got their start with buddhism.
Compiled by Venerable S. Dhammika
Foreword
by Chade-Meng Tan, co-founder of Buddhism.net
Bhante S. Dhammika was one of my earliest Dharma teachers in the late 1980s, when I was a teenager (yes, I am that old, thank you very much). I was attracted to the gentle and dignified way he carried himself, impressed by his sheer intellectual horsepower, and awed by his ability to explain the Dharma in ways that even I could understand. Bhante Dhammika was also the person who introduced me to my first real meditation teacher, the great Acharya Godwin Samararatne. I am immensely grateful to both of them.
