Discipline and Value project
Core Values of my Dharma | Discipline |
Respect | Don’t do anything DISRESPECTFUL |
Love | Don’t do anything UNSAFE |
Peace | Don’t do anything UNHEALTHY |
Harmony | Don’t do anything ILLEGAL |
Wholeness | Don't do anything IRRESPONSIBLE |
Too much control- Can’t be creative, individuality suppress
Too much freedom - Irresponsible, break all discipline
Banks of river of life - Discipline and values
Examples - music to a scale, like laws in society, privilege and responsibility
My Dharma - Harmony in Duality; Shiva-Shakti; Unity - Completeness
Respect, Love, Peace
