The speed this group grew within three years is faster than my expectation. I am grateful for all the participations and sharing by members here and happy to see many are waking up. It is a good sign that a group like AtR can attract many people — not because I want to gain followers (i am not a teacher) but because it means many people have an active interest in pursuing awakening and will in time awaken.

I would just like to make a request though: if possible, post your questions in the group rather send me messages personally asking this and that. Normally i would be happy to answer but just imagine if only a few percent of the 1000 member atr group privately messages me to ask this and that, it will be totally overwhelming as that will mean dozens of people messaging me all the time. 5% of 1000 means 50, 3% means 30 people and so on. I do have a full time job and a busy life and therefore have stated that i am not a teacher and not capable of becoming a teacher with my current circumstances. I also often recommend people to find dharma teachers - see http://www.awakeningtoreality.com/.../special-post... . Already, sometimes im unable to reply some people’s messages at all. It is too overwhelming.

I do not have the level of wisdom like John Tan, and also many members by the dozens here have similar insights as me and are as fully capable or perhaps even more capable than me at answering questions and guiding. So i would love to see people posting in the group and more participation by those with insights so that all members can mutually benefit.

Thanks. May all beings awaken to reality and be free
