Anyone Can Learn The Dharma
Anyone can learn facts about the Dharma and sound authentic, but do they have insight? We so easily fall into line with anything exotic – from Greek exōtikos ‘foreign’ – because we’re dissatisfied with our life, and so we’re looking for something else – an upgrade.
The Dharma isn’t foreign, but the way in which it’s displayed is. The Dharma is all about our true reality, here and now, which is not something exotic. If we make it exotic, we create a form, and worshipping that form makes us fanatical and uncompromising.
This causes conflict which has two aspects; we either act in a hostile way towards others, or we shun them. Both of these result in seeing others as an enemy, an outsider, a foreigner. 🙂
This is the age of conflict, and it shows.
Insight is wisdom
It’s knowing the cause of manifestations intuitively,
rather than relying on what’s written down.
When an individual experiments, experiences and verifies,
they know what they can trust.
