“O Atula! Indeed, this is an ancient practice, not one only of today: they blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.”

Lama Dharma DingDong

“Blaming others for the quality of your own mental state is never going to be helpful. Naming, shaming and blaming is a byproduct of a worried mind.”
