Missing The Dharma

If you do not learn the Dharma accordingly
during a Dharma discussion session,
you are being untrue to yourself
and everyone else in the group.

If you do not practise the Dharma accordingly
during a group practice session,
you are being untrue to yourself
and everyone else in the group.

If you do not learn and practise the Dharma accordingly,
why are you there physically at all,
when your heart and mind is elsewhere,
missing the Dharma in the here and now?

How many more good examples
do you need to see around you,
to learn to be a good example yourself,
instead of being a bad example to others?
