✨ To meditate on today
According to The Gospel of Buddha, which here takes up the Dhammapada, one does not lead others by force but by righteousness and equity, and whoever is virtuous, just and truthful becomes dear to all. Today, if you have to convince or guide someone (a child, a colleague, a loved one), give up pressure and raised voices: explain fairly and treat everyone equitably.
