    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 during the process.

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

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

            Reflected in the Precept not to praise oneself or speak ill of others. Thank you, Shokai.
