Spiritual abuse is a hidden danger even among the most well-intentioned. If we allow the ego to undermine our nobler instincts, we fall prey to power and authority. Vigilant awareness will alert us and open our eyes to truly see and wisely protect the heart. When we are with the Dhamma, we are with the Buddha. We may not be perfect but we are on a noble path. So guard the mind and bear no hatred. Enshrine this pure presence and connection to the heart, to life and to each other with humility, respect, and loving-compassion – and share these blessings with all beings.
