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.

weekly dharma quote 4

Just as water cools both
good and bad
and washes away all
impurity and dusts,

in the same way you should
develop thoughts of love for
friend and foe alike,

and having reached
perfection in love,

you will attain enlightenment.
