Goodbye!

So, you found my website! Congratulations! ... or at least you found what remains of it. Congrats nonetheless!

This is were my website once was, and I really had fun tinkering with it back then.

Now my goals have shifted and I no longer have the time or ambition to keep this website alive. At the time of writing this it is December 2025 of the Common Era, and I have slowly started giving up my personal possessions to renounce the worldly life.

Next year I will be working to support my family, and my vacation days will be spent mostly in Buddhist monasteries in Europe. My goal is to properly end all my worldly affairs, leave the money I saved with my family, and start progressing towards the life of a Buddhist monk.

As such I want to focus on Buddhist teachings, on meditation, on cultivating practice in solitude, and so writing a personal website would just be a distraction and a hindrance. Another attachment I must necessarily renounce if I wish to go forth and live the homeless life, the life of a bhikkhu in the sangha of Buddhist monks and nuns, the way the Buddha intended for devote practitioners of his Dhamma and the Noble Eightfold Path.

I delight not in life, I delight not in death.
I await my time like a hireling his wage.
I delight not in life, I delight not in death.
I await my time, mindful and aware.

—Thag. 14:1

I wish everyone who reads this good luck on their journey, wherever life takes you. I doubt we will be seeing each other again on the internet. There are monks and nuns who use the internet for the purpose of teaching the Dhamma to lay practitioners, but I do not think this would be for me.

In any case, I hope you all find the right path for yourself, the way I have found the Dhamma of the Blessed One.

Stay safe.
