Do ái sinh sầu ưu,do ái sinh sợ hãi; ai thoát khỏi tham ái, không sầu, đâu sợ hãi?Kinh Pháp Cú (Kệ số 212)
Những chướng ngại không thể làm cho bạn dừng lại. Nếu gặp phải một bức tường, đừng quay lại và bỏ cuộc, hãy tìm cách trèo lên, vượt qua hoặc đi vòng qua nó. (Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. )Michael Jordon
Hạnh phúc là khi những gì bạn suy nghĩ, nói ra và thực hiện đều hòa hợp với nhau. (Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.)Mahatma Gandhi
Phán đoán chính xác có được từ kinh nghiệm, nhưng kinh nghiệm thường có được từ phán đoán sai lầm. (Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment. )Rita Mae Brown
Thường tự xét lỗi mình, đừng nói lỗi người khác. Kinh Đại Bát Niết-bàn
Bậc trí bảo vệ thân, bảo vệ luôn lời nói, bảo vệ cả tâm tư, ba nghiệp khéo bảo vệ.Kinh Pháp Cú (Kệ số 234)
Các sinh vật đang sống trên địa cầu này, dù là người hay vật, là để cống hiến theo cách riêng của mình, cho cái đẹp và sự thịnh vượng của thế giới.Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Điều quan trọng không phải là bạn nhìn vào những gì, mà là bạn thấy được những gì. (It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.)Henry David Thoreau
Người có trí luôn thận trọng trong cả ý nghĩ, lời nói cũng như việc làm. Kinh Pháp cú
Không có ai là vô dụng trong thế giới này khi làm nhẹ bớt đi gánh nặng của người khác. (No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. )Charles Dickens

The Brightness of Dhamma
Companions on the path of Dhamma:
Once again we have gathered together to understand how more suffering people can come in contact with Dhamma. As the work grows, more assistant teachers are appointed, more centres are established and more servers give their service for the spread of Dhamma. This growth is bound to continue and so it is essential that the work be properly organized, avoiding the tendencies that can weaken Dhamma. At such a time in the growth of Dhamma we are at a crossroads because there is every danger of its turning into an organized religion, and then it will harm rather than help humanity. Once it becomes a sect the essence of Dhamma is gone. This is a delicate situation. On one hand some discipline has to be maintained; on the other hand, if it merely turns into a hierarchy with everyone working within regimented rules, a sect will be established.
Sects arise when egos are predominant, when one’s position within the organization is of primary importance. If one sacrifices one’s home comforts, business and time with family for Dhamma work and expects some appreciation for one’s service, this is madness. This is where the personality cult and sectarianism starts. Selfless service for the benefit of more people is important. Dhamma is important, nothing else. One should be happy with whatever one is asked, or not asked, to do. One may say that one is working selflessly but only the individual can judge this. Two of the brahmavihāras—muditā (sympathetic joy) and karuṇā (compassion)—are for this purpose. They are yardsticks by which to measure whether one is really developing in Dhamma. If one feels jealousy or enmity towards a fellow server because his service is greatly appreciated, then one has not understood Dhamma. If there is sympathetic joy, one is progressing in Dhamma.
Conversely a fellow server may make a mistake, or what one perceives to be a mistake. If one generates hatred or aversion towards this person then one is far away from Dhamma, but if one’s motivation is to help this companion who has slipped, then karunā is developing. One may even say that one has no hatred towards this person, but if there is a pleasant feeling at another’s downfall then one is far away from Dhamma. Keep on examining yourself carefully because nobody else can do this for you.
First establish yourself in Dhamma and then you can serve others properly. If Dhamma is important rather than this mad "I" then certainly the ego is getting dissolved. However, if one is projecting one’s ego in the name of serving Dhamma, no-one can benefit from such service. If one keeps on examining how much the ego is getting dissolved, one is fit to serve the organization.
Over the next few days important work will be carried out to formulate the code of discipline for all those involved in the spread of Dhamma. In such work the individual has no importance because persons may come and persons may go. It is Dhamma that should remain most important in all your decision-making to serve people properly.
The only aim is bahujana-hitāya, bahujana-sukhāya. May more and more people benefit from Dhamma, come out of their misery and enjoy real peace and harmony. I see a very bright future. May all of you shine in this brightness with Dhamma so that people get attracted through you, to the Dhamma. May you all be successful working in Dhamma for suffering people everywhere.
