Find The Teacher, Find The Teaching

There are many types of teachers – humans, texts, Tathagatsas (the enlightened ones) – but they all lead to the teaching relating to appearances in the mind. 

We can work on our own – now. Situations and appearances create reactions in the mind that are observed by consciousness, which notes that the mind is being activated. This noting is a gap that occurs, reducing the power of habitual karma. This is our path.

The teaching is never about appearances ‘out there’;
it’s about appearances in our own mind.

Practical Dharma is that simple. Dharma isn’t having a good memory or being learned. Dharma is an accommodating mind, without affectation.
