Dharma

Demure: I love this word.
1. characterized by shyness and modesty; reserved.
2. affectedly characterized by dignified propriety in conduct, manners, appearance, character, etc.

Coy:

1.
artfully or affectedly shy or reserved; slyly hesitant; coquettish.
2. retiring, diffident, bashful, demure.

Dharma:
Once we view each and every living being as important we shall naturally develop good intentions towards them. Whereas the mind that cherishes only ourself is the basis for all impure, samsaric experience, the mind that cherishes others is the basis for all the good qualities of enlightenment.

Cherishing others is not so difficult – all we need to do is to understand why we should cherish others and then make a firm decision to do so. Through meditating on this decision we shall develop a deep and powerful feeling of cherishing for all beings. We then carry this special feeling into our daily life.
