      Dhamma is not a religion.
      Dhamma is a code of conduct.
      Dhamma is an ethical, moral way of life.
      Dhamma is an art of living.

      Dhamma is to live a happy, healthy, wholesome life.
      Dhamma is to live peacefully and harmoniously within oneself and generate a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere around oneself.

      Dear Dhammiko/Meditators

      We have reached 2000 Signatures. Let us continue the good efforts to reach this message to more Dhammiko.

      Much Metta..!!

      Mind precedes everything; mind matters most.
      Whatever one experiences throughout life
      is nothing but the product of one’s own mind.
      If one speaks or acts with an impure mind,
      suffering will follow one,
      even as the wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

      Mind precedes everything; mind matters most.
      Whatever one experiences throughout life
      is nothing but the product of one’s own mind.
      If one speaks or acts with a pure mind,
      happiness follows one like an inseparable shadow.

      S.N. Goenka
