The main principles of Damma include :
1. Be kind towards animals. We should be kind to animals all the time.
2. Be obedient to father and mother. We should be grateful and obedient to our parents.
3. Be kind towards the poor. Poor need the support of others to come out of their problems all the time.
4. Respect the elders. May be of Ashoka’s time or today elders are to be respected.
5. Never criticize other religions. We should be tolerant of other religions.
6. Work for the welfare of mankind. We should work for all the men by not being selfish. So we can say that the principles of dhamma have relevance even today or in the future also.
