The Teacher-Of-All-Phenomena

A human teacher can only help us to recognise and then realise the teacher-of-all-phenomena: that every encounter, and every thought, and every interaction with others is a teaching, by showing us the habitual reactions that cause us suffering. The realisation that we are clinging to any experience is the Dharma in action, which eliminates the suffering of mental anguish.

Before this, teachings are just theories.

Whatever we encounter is due to our past, so every situation is karmic; it’s the result of previous reactions, and is our personal path to enlightenment. Ignoring this recognition is our path to maintaining endarkenment.

It’s not necessary to present the teachings in a religious fashion.
The teachers and the temples won’t always be there.

Always remember that people cannot tell the truth – not even the Buddha.
The truth is the verification through pure experience.
