Re: Rebirth - Theravada & Tibetan beliefs [Yuttadhammo]

Dear Yong Peng,

Thank you for your sincerity. I'm just writing to let you know that I have
changed my membership to no longer receive posts from the Yahoo! Pali Group.
I'm too busy learning Pali now :) and I seem to get too easily caught up in
off-topic discussions. Take the straight path, they say.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo

PS If anyone still wants to say anything to me (like "sorry for calling you
stupid"), please send it to my real e-mail: yuttadhammo@... -
thanks.
