Quotes About Buddhadharma

Many of us, both monastics and laypeople, learn about the Buddhadharma without anything changing in our life. Our personality remains exactly the same because we cannot digest and apply what we've learned. What we've learned doesn't help us and so we can't help anyone. Zen doesn't travel along a path of learning through writing and words; it relies on direct transmission between teacher and student.

The Buddhadharma is not, however, associated with the practice of being a candy-ass.

Zazen is the ultimate practice. This is indeed the True Self. The Buddhadharma is not to be sought outside of this.
