While surfing for info for the grand puja materials, I chanced upon this para which delighted me greatly, and I thought I'd post it here so I collect some merit for myself! hehe!
[Thanks*** for reminding me I have this blog to post here.. else I might really have forgotten whether this site is alive or dead le. Lol ;p ]Dharma is the most important thing in one's life. The best practice is the meditate on the Lam Rim each day, to achieve realisations in the Lam Rim - step by step. During your job, whatever you are doing, ie. eating, sleeping, working, try to do it with Lam Rim, especially Bodhicitta - the thought of benefitting others.
In this way, all your actions because they are performed with Bodhicitta, become pure Dharma, the cause of Enlightenment, and the cause of happiness for all sentient beings.
For myself, I mean I know this all along... I'm sure some of you do too. But we always forget.. even for myself.
I hope this is helpful for all of us, whether as a wake-up call, or a cause for contemplation. :)

The Lam Rim is not a distance thing, but the mind is a great distance from the Lam Rim.
Darma is always around but will we practice it?! Well blogged but I still couldn't do it by myself..

Hi Jamie, this is a good post. It's definitely a good way to practise and yes, Sriya, Dharma is always there, in front of you. Dharma will never run away from you. It's us who run away from Dharma. I definitely will remember this quote and practise it.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Jamster! <3
