Dear Sujato,
I saw that you will have a European ‘tour’. Sadly enough not in Belgium where I live.
As often as I can I watch the posts on YouTube and Dhammaloka. I do have a question that keeps me busy already for quite some years. I have been searching and studying in a lot of different paths (advaita vedanta, theosophy, buddhism). Especially buddhism feels to me like a very important core teaching and have been emerging me in it for a couple of years as far as possible. It has always attrackted me in an inexplicable, familiar way.
You oftenly talk about the importance of studying the dhamma preferably in a sangha. I do feel this need more and more urgent. How to do this when you do not have access to a sangha or a centre where they can teach you. Can you be an autodidact buddhist 🙂 And if so where do I start with studying the sutta’s. Which ones, in which order and which material (which books). My mother tongue is dutch (flemish) but I read a lot in english, so no problem there. I really want to deepen and make aqcuintance in a profound way where the buddha was pointing. And what if I have any questions? Where to go, where to ask them?
Is walking this path even possible without a good teacher and a sangha?
It would be really nice if you could shed some light on this matter.
Kind regards
Karlien
