“O dharma do sol é iluminar e aquecer. Ele ilumina e aquece a todos por
igual; ele não faz nenhuma diferenciação. Odharma da água é saciar a
sede. Ela não escolhe religião, classe social, cor da pele ou qualquer
outra coisa - ela sacia a sede de todos. O dharma do ser humano é amar –
amar a todos, sem distinção. É ver Deus em todos e servir a todos.
Quando manifestamos nossodharma, podemos realizar a meta máxima da vida, a iluminação. É através do Amor que a consciência humana se expande e se torna divina.”
“El dharma del sol es iluminar y calentar. Ilumina y calienta a todos
por igual; no hace ninguna distinción. El dharma del agua es saciar la
sed. Ella no elige religión, clase social, color de piel o cualquier

máxima de la vida, la iluminación. Es a través del Amor que la
conciencia humana se expande y se vuelve divina.
"The dharma of the sun is to illuminate and bring warmth. It illuminates and brings warmth to everyone equally without discriminating. The dharma of water is to quench thirst regardless of the religion, social class, or skin color of those who drink it. The dharma of human beings is to love - to love everyone without discrepancy, serving and seeing God in all. When we live into our dharma, we can achieve the ultimate goal of life: enlightenment. Through love human consciousness expands, and becomes divine.”

Via Daily Dharma: Endless Wealth
When
we achieve a mind of gratitude and dedicate ourselves to helping
others, we can practice generosity. We can be generous with our wealth,
with ourselves, and with the Dharma. In some ways, giving wealth is the
easiest. If we consume less and live more frugally, we can give away
what we save.
