Buddhists chant, ‘Buddham saranam gacchami. Dharmam saranam gacchami. Sangam saranam gacchami’. These three maxims imply that firstly, you must sharpen the intellect and the capacity for spiritual discrimination. Next, intelligence must be used in the service of society. Thirdly, service must be based on righteousness. If you follow this, you will experience Bliss. Never harm any living creature in any way, whatsoever. Nonviolence is the supreme dharma. Never ever hurt or injure another person in your thought, word, or action. You may wonder: “Is such a thing possible?” Yes it is! With resolution and absolute determination, there is nothing in this world that cannot be achieved. Fear is a great obstacle to achievement. When you realise that the same Divinity resides in all, you will never be afraid of anything or anyone. The more you love your fellow beings, the greater will be your bliss and joy. “Help ever, hurt never” – this is the essence of Buddha’s teaching.
