DHARMA: In literary records
the usage of the word dharma can be traced back to the Vedic times. The
more prevalent form of the word, however, was dharman. Both these words
are derived from a verbal root dh¥, which means to bear, support,
sustain.

NAMASTE
The meaning of 'Namaste': 'I honor that
place in you where the whole Universe resides. And when I am in that place in me
and you are in that place in you, there is only one of us.'
METTA
Often when you receive a note, or read a
discourse you will see the salutation "With Metta". Here is a description of
that term.
The
Pali word Mettá (loving Kindness)has two root meanings:
"Gentle" - like a gentle
rain that falls upon the earth; it does not choose where it falls, it simply
falls without discrimination.
"Friend" - someone who is constant in our times of happiness and also in our
times of unhappiness.
