Educational Q&A

True Dharma is timeless and subtle, and it is recognized by its universal orientation: it seeks the welfare of all beings and cultivates maitri—an attitude of friendship and goodwill toward everyone.

In the Tulādhāra–Jājali dialogue of Śānti Parva, Tulādhāra begins instructing the ascetic Jājali, declaring that he understands the ancient, eternal Dharma along with its deeper, ‘hidden’ principles—especially its commitment to universal benefit and friendliness.
