Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 How do you decide in any particular case what is dharmic (righteous) and what is not? That which does not inflict pain on you or on others – that is right, that is Dharma. So act in such a way that you get joy, and that others too get joy. Act as you speak, speak as you feel, do not play false to your conscience, do not cover your thoughts in a cloak of falsehood. Do not suppress your conscience by forcibly enslaving it and embarking on actions of which it does not approve. That is the dharmic way of life. Frequently doing right makes it easier and easier; habit grows into conscience. If you once establish right conduct, you will automatically follow what is right. What you do depends on what you are; what you are depends on what you do. The two are interdependent to a great degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
