    The 42nd of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

    Gate Forty-two
    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.

    Love of Dharma illumination is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we attain Dharma illumination.

    By “Dharma Gate”, We mean a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.

    Most note worthy replies :
    "It seems appropriate that this Love Gate follows the Enjoyment Gate."

    Anything that puts light onto Dharma
    Warms and illuminates the universe.

    Embracing Dharma
    Is Dharma
    For love begets love

            Every person and every action that we encounter in the world embodies the Dharma. This is what it means to draw no distinctions: love every Man as you love the Dharma.
            But what does it mean to love the Dharma?
            Just sit still and emanate compassion. This is all we truly require.
            How lovely that I sit for you, and you for him, and so on. In this way the whole world sits together, knowing for a moment the calm warmth of undivided and boundless love.

            Gassho,

            Thank you for being the warmth in my world.
