Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood

 

"If you don't live the life you are born for, it makes you ill. That's what Helen Parry told us this morning, dispensing wisdom. Helen's Buddhist friends in Thailand say it is a matter of your dharma, she said. You must live according to your own dharma, even if you could be very successful at living someone else's. If you don't live your rightful dharma, then you will cause grave spiritual injury to yourself."
