What can be done to bring the practice of Dharma into daily life?

As ordinary beings, of course we all have faults. We are not just ordinary beings, we are Dharma practitioners, which means that we have a responsibility. We have the responsibility to not focus on one another's faults, but to focus on one another's virtues, and this is like the life-tree of our Dharma.

We may say "I take refuge in the Dharma" but do we actually focus on what is good in others, on their virtues? If we do not, if we focus on others defects, then our taking refuge in the Dharma is really just words.
