Nếu người có lỗi mà tự biết sai lầm, bỏ dữ làm lành thì tội tự tiêu diệt, như bệnh toát ra mồ hôi, dần dần được thuyên giảm.Kinh Bốn mươi hai chương
Nếu tiền bạc không được dùng để phục vụ cho bạn, nó sẽ trở thành ông chủ. Những kẻ tham lam không sở hữu tài sản, vì có thể nói là tài sản sở hữu họ. (If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him. )Francis Bacon
Hãy sống tốt bất cứ khi nào có thể, và điều đó ai cũng làm được cả.Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Quy luật của cuộc sống là luôn thay đổi. Những ai chỉ mãi nhìn về quá khứ hay bám víu vào hiện tại chắc chắn sẽ bỏ lỡ tương lai. (Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.)John F. Kennedy
Nếu bạn nghĩ mình làm được, bạn sẽ làm được. Nhưng nếu bạn nghĩ mình không làm được thì điều đó cũng sẽ trở thành sự thật. (If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.)Mary Kay Ash
Càng giúp người khác thì mình càng có nhiều hơn; càng cho người khác thì mình càng được nhiều hơn.Lão tử (Đạo đức kinh)
Để có đôi mắt đẹp, hãy chọn nhìn những điều tốt đẹp ở người khác; để có đôi môi đẹp, hãy nói ra toàn những lời tử tế, và để vững vàng trong cuộc sống, hãy bước đi với ý thức rằng bạn không bao giờ cô độc. (For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.)Audrey Hepburn
Người ta trói buộc với vợ con, nhà cửa còn hơn cả sự giam cầm nơi lao ngục. Lao ngục còn có hạn kỳ được thả ra, vợ con chẳng thể có lấy một chốc lát xa lìa.Kinh Bốn mươi hai chương
Chúng ta sống bằng những gì kiếm được nhưng tạo ra cuộc đời bằng những gì cho đi. (We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. )Winston Churchill
Có hai cách để lan truyền ánh sáng. Bạn có thể tự mình là ngọn nến tỏa sáng, hoặc là tấm gương phản chiếu ánh sáng đó. (There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.)Edith Wharton

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.
