About This Weblog
Why I originally started a weblog I don’t remember, but it has continued and evolved into a way to keep friends, family, students and fellow seekers of the truth updated on my doings and wherabouts. How long it will last is another question, but for now it serves both sides equally well, replacing the unpleasantness of bulk email while averting the present impossibility of completely cutting myself off from the people who have helped me get to where I am today. Hope you enjoy it.

About The Name:
“yuttadhammo”, the name given by my preceptor when I ordained, is a singular first-case declension of the bahubbihi compound “yuttadhamma”. “yutta” means connected, composed, or proper. “dhamma” means reality or truth. The meaning depends on whether one takes it as a tatiya or sattami bahubbihi. As a tatiya bahubbihi (probably the more common choice), it means:
yutto dhammo yena, so yuttadhammo
By whom (yena) truth (dhammo) is composed (yutto), that one (so) is called “one who has the truth composed”.
As a sattami bahubbihi (a less ostentatious choice), it could mean:
yutto dhammo yasmi.m, so yuttadhammo
In whom (yasmi.m) the dhamma (dhammo) is composed (yutto), that one (so) is called “one who has composed dhamma inside”
or: Truth Is Within
