If we fail to look after others
when they need help,
who will look after us?

Indifference brings
indifference;
livingkindness brings
lovingkindness.

weekly dharma quote 8

The rule of friendship means
there must be mutual
sympathy betweeen them,

each supplying what the other
lacks and trying
to benefit the other,



always using
friendly and sincere words.

weekly dharma quote 6

There is nothing more dreadful
than the habit of doubt.

Doubt separates people.

It is a poison that disintergrates
friendships and break up
pleasant relations.

It is a thorn that irritates
and hurts;

It is a sword that kills.

weekly dharma quote 5

Everything changes,

nothing remains without change.
