State of the Dharma

The dismal state of the Dharma in the world
is the collective karmic effect
of inadequate practice and propagation.

It is also sustained by those
who are aware of the situation and their responsibility,
but choose to be apathetic.

The collective karma can be changed collectively.
Even if not all in one go,
it can be changed individually.

How well the Dharma is propagated
depends on group and individual efforts,
especially when there are group and individual efforts against them.
