Dhamma is the Natural and Holistic Order. To know it we need to be balanced and attuned to what were experiencing, to meet what arises with sympathy and hold it with equanimity. Mindfulness of breathing is a practice which develops this balance.
Kindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity form where sympathetic awareness (anukampa, aka primal sympathy) meets the mind. These are a natural expression of an Awakened heart.
Attention and intention carry awareness to an object. They can be trained and nourished. The Ten Parami are a collection of skilful ways to do this, a way that leads to the end of kamma.
