Volumes Of Dharma In Two Phrases
The Buddha said, “Do not take my words for the truth; test them,” and “I see you, Mara.”
We simply test whether we’ve assimilated these words when we come into contact with others. Do we react negatively or do we ignore?
When we react or are distracted, that is Mara activity.
The moment, we see we are free.
The Dharma isn’t about knowing volumes of text.
It’s being practical.
