Our Covenant With The Dharma

Our covenant with the Dharma:
To be free and never disappointed.

Our covenant with religion:
To be bound and to conform.

Our covenant with society:
To be bound to compassion.

Conform: to be moulded.
Dharma: to break the mould.

Conformity is the act of matching our behaviour in response to subtle unconscious influences and  social pressure to feel secure within a group.
