    The 23rd of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

    Gate Twenty Three

    Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received before letting it go.

    Humility is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] eternal malevolence vanish.

    a “Dharma Gate”, is a teaching or practice we can study to gain insights into the deepening our practice. It's a way to integrate our understanding of reality.

    Humility :
    The quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance.

    Want to know how humble a person is; just ask them!!!

    Most note worthy replies :
    Humility is a reflection of my ability to recognize and acknowledge sameness, that there is no old age and death, and no end to old age and death.

    Placing others first
    How could we
    Ever wish them harm?

    Working with humility (or the lack of humility) really means working with one’s ego and sense of self

          Not praising one self
          walking lighter
          expanding awareness

            Letting go of one’s self
            No distinction of ‘me’ and ‘you’.
