Appreciating the Dharma

By: Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche

The Dharma is like pure elixir, like nectar.  Naturally, one feels like preserving it, cherishing it, safeguarding it, and sharing it.  If nobody appreciates it, then these words are just like mist dissolving in the air, lost, gone.  On the other hand, if those who hear these things take them up, practice them, and realize them, then they get the full benefit of these truths.  They are for everybody.  They are to be transmitted and passed on.  There is no question about secrecy, about protecting them, about keeping them back.  They must proliferate and continue.

Spiritual practice benefits all.  It benefits the individual.  It benefits the community, It benefits the country.  It benefits the universe.  It benefits all, and blesses all.

Spiritual practice is extremely important.  Please appreciate it.
