Dharma Sangha
Bodhi Shravan Guru Sanghaya
Namo Maitri Sarva Dharma Sanghaya
1. Being in unison with the True Dharma, Guru, and the Way; may the world realize the Dharma Tattva [1]. And, may all the world’s beings be contented by the Supreme Wisdom of this Great Maitri Way having the form of Mukti and Moksha.
2. The science of the Dharma Tattva is very deep and limitless.
3. In order to realise the True Dharma and Tattva, it is necessary to embody the Tattva oneself.
4. And the Dharma Tattva is not limited to this world alone, but resides in all existence.
5. May humans realise that this world is only one opportunity.
6. In order to realize the Tattva, in some trees, even though countless blossoms bud, only a limited number of fruit reach their natural form; thus only a few humans achieve the Dharma.
7. Even so, the flowers fallen on the Way of the True Dharma also have existence and greatness.
8. And each one of the fruit is being made to have its own distinct specialty and Dharma Virtue.
9. The main purpose of the human world and life is to be in adherence of the True Dharma and, achieving the Dharma Tattva, to be absorbed in Mukti and Moksha alone.
10. The Guru fulfills His own Dharma.
11. The Way is being given to the world, yet even so, the responsibility for taking each step forward on the way is the human’s own individual quest [2].
12. Whether or not the way one is following has the form of the Mukti and Moksha Tattva is another extremely personal quest of the human.
13. For a human remaining far from the wisdom of Maitri, no matter what kind of practice is done in one’s life in the name of Dharma, attainment of the True Tattva based in existence is impossible.
14. And those on a way not allowing the formation of Mukti and Moksha, can never call that "the Way."
15. That would be just a mere amusement of the temporary world.
16. In the worldly ways, the ego and desires of humans are upheld as usual, and the various paltry remedies being applied are distancing the desirous humans from the True Guru and the Way.
17. The Path which does not accept egoism and desires — that Path humans don’t want to walk.
18. But, ironically, each human has the understanding in the inner voice of the conscience [3] of which way is leading where.
19. Whether or not one is enlightened and what one has to bear is justly determined according to the accumulated merit of each soul traveling on the Way being shown by Guru.
20. Yet so be it, continue, the journey is yours alone.
21. Having been absorbed by the attributes of the Dharma Tattva; realising the defects of egoism and desires, one can be freed from the world. In order to do this, a human needs to strive continuously in the Dharma until the final moment of life.
22. May the whole world take this Maitri wisdom to heart and awaken.
Sarva Maitri Mangalam Astu Tathaastu (May all beings be lovingly peaceful. So be it.)

धर्म संध
बोधि श्रवण गुरु संघाय
नमो मैत्री सर्व धर्म संघाय
सत्य धर्म, गुरु र मार्गको अनुशरण गर्दै लोकले धर्म तत्वको बोध गरुन् । एवम् मुक्ति–मोक्ष रुपी यस महा ‘मैत्री धर्म’ मार्गको परम ज्ञानले समस्त लोक प्राणीहरु तृप्त होउन् । धर्म तत्वको विज्ञान अति गहन र असीम छ । सत् धर्म तत्व बोध हुनको निमित्त स्वयम् तत्व रुपी हुनु पर्दछ । धर्म तत्व केवल यस लोकमा मात्र सिमित नभई समस्त अस्तित्वमा रहेको छ । मनुष्यले बोध गरुन् यो लोक मात्र एउटा अवसर हो । धर्म तत्व बोध गर्नको निमित्त । कुनै वृक्षमा असंख्य फूलहरु अंकुरित भएता पनि सिमितले मात्र फलको स्वरुप प्राप्त गरे झैं मनुष्यले पनि धर्म प्राप्त गर्दछ । तथापि सत्य धर्मको मार्गमा भने झरेको फूलहरुको पनि अस्तित्व वा महत्वा रहन्छ । एवम् प्रत्येक फूलहरुको पनि छुट्टै विशेषता वा धर्म गुण हुने गर्दछ । सत्य धर्मको अनुसरण गर्नु । एवम् धर्म तत्व प्राप्त गरि मुक्ति–मोक्षमा लिन हुनु नै मनुष्य जीवनको मूल उद्वेश्य हो । गुरुले आफ्नो धर्म पूरा गर्छ । संसारलाई मार्ग दिएर । तथापि मार्गमा हिँड्ने प्रत्येक पाइलाहरुको जिम्मेवारी मनूष्य आफैको व्यक्तिगत खोज हो । मुक्ति–मोक्ष रुपी तत्व आफूले अनुसरण गरेको मार्गमा छ वा छैन भन्ने पनि मनुष्यको अर्को नितान्त व्यक्तिगत् खोज हो । मनुष्यले आफ्नो जीवनमा मैत्री ज्ञानबाट टाढा रहि धर्मको नाममा जस्तो सुकै अभ्यास गरेता पनि अस्तित्वगत् सत्य तत्वको प्राप्ती असम्भव छ । त्यो केवल क्षणिक संसारको भोग मात्र हुनेछ । संसारिक मार्गमा मनुष्यहरुको अहङ्कार वा वासनाहरुलाई यथावत राख्ने अनेकौं सुक्ष्म उपायहरु भएको हुँदा वासनारुपी मनुष्यहरु हिड्न चाहदैनन् । तर विडम्बना चित्तको अन्तस्करणमा बोध प्रत्येक मनुष्यलाई छ । कुन मार्गले कहाँ पुर्याउँछ । गुरुबाट मार्ग दर्शन हुँदा, मार्गमा यात्रा गर्ने प्रत्येक आत्माको संञ्चित धर्म पुण्य अनूरुप पाउनु पर्ने तत्व र भोग्नु पर्ने सत्य सुनिश्चित छ । तथापि होस, रहिरहोस यात्रा आफ्नै हो । अहङ्कार र वासनाहरुको बोध गर्दै, धर्म तत्वको गुणले युक्त भई संसारिक सर्व बन्धनहरुबाट मुक्त हुन सकिन्छ । जसको निमित्त मनुष्यले जीवनको अन्तिम क्षणसम्म धर्मको स्ततः प्रयास गरि रहनु पर्दछ । यस ‘मैत्री धर्म’ ज्ञानलाई सारा लोकले आत्मा साथ गर्दै, बोध गरुन् ।
सर्व मैत्री मंगलम् अस्तु, तथास्तु ।।
