A friend’s account: When I took up full-time Dharma work more than a decade ago, a friend warned me about the messy nature of the organisation I was going to work in. In short, he advised against me working there. I didn’t bother – because the details shared were vague anyway.\u00a0 Till today, I’m not exactly sure what he was talking about. And I was clear I wanted to do Dharma work and nothing else. Back then and till now, I have passion for no other work. Even in much of my spare time, like writing about this, it’s still related to sharing the Dharma.<\/p>\n

I’m still working in the organisation, though many staff come and go due to various reasons. Maybe I have already experienced some of the obstacles that the friend was talking about, but they turned out to be inconsequential personally – because my focus was and still is on making the best of the opportunity to share the Dharma. All other matters are distractions I do my best to ignore – which thus renders them insignificant. This applies to all other forms of Right Livelihood too – if your focus and motivation is right, the wrong things that pop up hardly matter. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
