The teachings begin by telling us "Dharma, the poetry of the soul, is written in the heart of all that is ... Moving in harmony, the foot does not crush the ground beneath. Moving in harmony, all nature becomes one flow.Thoughts, words and deeds express only the unconditional love of the Divine.The lotus growing in the mud brings forth buds topening to the sun. The rose winding around the trellis climbs upward and blossoms in the sun. Moving in harmony towards the Source, all beings have their place. Sun, moon and stars have their place in the harmony of all things. There is a balance in this universe, finely maintained, sublimely intricate, yet simple. To be in this balance, to move in this harmony, to breathe with the rhythm of the stars, is the way of dharma.

It goes on to say "Spirituality in the world today cannot be separated from the issues facing the planet... and lies not only in one's personal development alone but answering the clarion call to action in human society. Therein lies the path of Dharma ... to express your impassioned heart, in care and love of all beings..."
