Deya Posted February 19, 2019 Hello, I'm a 29 years old blind child in shackles. Looking for a choice and freedom to make it while getting my sight back. Thanks 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fa Xin Posted February 19, 2019 Hello, Deya, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the post pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum Terms and Rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Fa Xin and the TDB team Hi Deya, Hopefully they are metaphorical shackles (although you could still type!) Welcome and enjoy. I hope you become free and see. You are welcome to jump right in to the ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forum to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Fa Xin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Glad to have you onboard, but it is hard to know what is metaphor from actual reality here on the web. For example, isn't 29 a bit old to be a child? On the other hand, aren't we all just children feeling around in the dark. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example, isn't 29 a bit old to be a child? On the other hand, aren't we all just children feeling around in the dark. I've been meditating for the past decade. My blindness is the delusions I've experienced and will experience, and my shackles are my spiritual ineptness and the lack of freedom. I'm a merely child on the spiritual path, perhaps this is the only truth I've learned. Edited February 20, 2019 by Deya 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
