Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero that I learn Shri Sadhdharma. And I have not spend more than 1  1/2 years practicing it. So I too am a beginner. I accept what in these Deshanas to be true; because I had examined them a lot against Dhamma text before I came to conclusion that Ven. Thero is a member of "Shrawaka Sangha". I am not asking you to believe me; please see for yourselves..As we know Shri Saddharma is like a great ocean gradually getting deeper starting from its shore... (reference: Paharada Sutta; deshana on it: <a href="http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/mp3/6/6.8_paharada_sutta.mp3" target="_blank">http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/mp3/6/6.8_paharada_sutta.mp3</a> )If you are a beginner to "true" Shri Sadhdharma (because what we learn at schools are somewhat different... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /> ) better to listen to introductory ones too... e.g. you can start with a Deshana in: <a href="http://www.gautamabuddha.ca/SinhalaBanaAvabodaya.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.gautamabuddha.ca/SinhalaBanaAvabodaya.aspx</a> Another important thing is to start practicing a small meditation like Anithya Bhavanawa; which gives us deeper insight into Dhamma. We should be always mindful that our mind is deceiving. If we experience/conclude something not in accordance with Dhamma, it is our thinking that's wrong - not Shri Sadhdharma. Best way is to check with Dhamma text or ask someone you can safely assume to be a Kalyanamithra.Another thing is being modest; what we know/feel/realize is very little.. After all our aim is trying to realize Dhamma to our capability...Theruwan saranai!</blockquote>
