The dharma keeps offering the same invitation: stay here, do less, trust this.
FYI “dharma” is a word with ancient origins dating back millinnia with multiple meanings with one general theme. In Western terms, dharma is the whole of ontological reality and is an expression of what I perfer to term as “The Way,” after Lao Tzu (also called Laozi) and the Tao Te Ching (The Way of The Way). It cannot be “told,” only experienced in each moment-by-moment existence.
