Mainly, Goenka wants us to practice Dhamma and apply it in whatever vocation we have in life. That is how Dhamma spreads in all areas of human endeavor and interaction. It is the quiet business person, or educator, or scientist who isn't making a big deal about how great a meditator they are, but who is implementing the benefits in their life and the lives of others who are making this world a better place.

In other words, the every day men and women who are living dhamma free of hatred for those who think and act differently.
It's really easy to get caught up in proclaiming those who think differently than we do, as "stupid" or "ignorant" etc. etc. We see a lot of that in the political "debates" - which are basically mud-slinging contests. |
