action is the most important thing. Our action will inform others that: Yes, people who practice dhamma are like this. Words alone are not enough. Some people do not need to say anything but they can proclaim dhamma clearly. Some people talk about dhamma, but still cannot clearly proclaim dhamma. If we have dhamma as support, or if our action is based on the ambiance of dhamma feelings—then, we also verbally proclaim (dhamma); that will be very good. The wisdom here, we should contemplate.
We proclaim dhamma every day. If we proclaim well, then that will have positive bene ts for ourselves. Dhamma will protect us to the fullest. By its nature, dhamma already protects us, by preventing us from falling into the state of loss and woe (apaya). But, the external protection through other people’s perception; the image that we project—we should also take care of this well. So, others will say: Yes, dhamma is magni cent—it has tenets that make people become better, their mind become better—this person is kind, he/she has dhamma! May all of you make constant progress in dhamma.
