| First, one must get to know oneself. Then, having become familiar with oneself, one can live one’s life more deeply. Living one’s life more deeply is the meaning of dharma.
– His Holiness the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje |

| A Feast of Dharma
All the teachings, all the words, all the sutras, are skillful means for liberating the mind, rather than statements of absolute truth. When we take words to be statements of ultimate truth, then differences of opinion will inevitably result in conflict. This is where ideological wars come from, and we see in the history of the world an endless amount of suffering because of it. But if we see the words and the teachings as different skillful means for liberating the mind, then they all become part of a great dharma feast. – Joseph Goldstein, “One Dharma” |

| Buddhism is not a fixed body of dogma (like perhaps some other religions). It has always been transformed by its interactions with those cultures into which it has moved; at the same time, those cultures have been transformed by their interaction with Buddhism. So the style of the teaching reflects Buddhism’s creative capacity to interact with a culture in a way that makes it available to that culture, but at the same time it remains true to its own principles and its own pattern.

 “The Dharma is not fancy.
It’s like blue jeans: good for every occasion, everyday. It’s good for work. It’s good for school. You can wear blue jeans to a wedding, to ride horses, whatever.” – His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Beyond the Status Quo
We come to the Buddha-dharma precisely because the suffering we have experienced in the world of relativity forces us to question “conventional” truth and the status quo. – Charles Johnson, “The Dharma of Social Transformation “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 How to Be
Dogen said: ‘Directly upon encountering the dharma, we will abandon the law of the world.’ In other words, once we discover the true order behind the appearance of things, our lives will no longer be dominated by the conventional values of society–the seeking to outshine, outrace, outgain. – Henry Shukman, “How to Be in the World” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Heartfelt Advice
When we are deeply involved in the practice of the Buddha dharma, the sages advise that we practice a common sense of balance by learning to structure our mundane activities and dharma practice in ways that allow us success in both areas of our life. We should not fall into extremes, either of procrastinating in our dharma practice with the excuse of mundane distractions, or of allowing our mundane world to fall apart around us due to an overemphasis on dharma practice which ignores our mundane responsibilities. – Lama Dudjom Dorjee, “Heartfelt Advice” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
