EFFECTS OF RIGHT ACTION: full moon - Saturday 9th August 2025

Do not ignore the effect of right action
saying, ‘This will come to nothing.’
Just as by the gradual fall of raindrops
the water jar is filled,
so in time the wise
become replete with good.

DHAMMAPADA v. 122

It helps to be reminded that small moments matter. We might feel impressed by the idea of, ‘the bigger the better’, forgetting what a tremendous difference one brief, empathetic smile can make. Or, conversely, the pain and confusion that one harsh word can cause.
