The word Dhamma (Sanskrit: Dharma) is derived from the root "dham," meaning "to uphold" or "to support," and the commentary further explains that it is that which upholds or supports the practitioner (of Dhamma) and prevents him or her from falling into evil states or birth in a woeful existence. |
c. That there are many varied "choices" and "consequences" in our lives. Living life not
in accordance brings about consequences which are unfavourable and detrimental to
true happiness;
d. For this purpose, FOTD was born to Serve Dhamma with Love and Compassion by
inspiring other fellow beings on this journey call life to walk the path of Dhamma and
keep the Sasan alive and growing! Each one of us do whatever we can. And we never
know what little act of goodness from the sharing can bring to others and actually
transform lives!
