Hope Warriors Dharma Talk-Take the Chance and Shine your Future Amitayus Sutra 25


Take the Chance and Shine your Future. Amitayus Sutra 25

“Those who are ready to receive the teachings and who are ready to give the teachings, to meet and lead, to produce, to share with all beings this treasure of the Universe, it is very rare.

if the receiver of the teachings is ready to receive the teachings and to be responsible for sharing to all beings, that is the real meaning of the transmission of the teachings. Which means, what is the motivation of receiving the teachings? Clearly it shows that if your motivation of receiving the Dharma, receiving the teachings, studying and practicing, is to share all the good things to other beings, not feeling sorry to give, even if you don’t gain anything ,you just give away, the real spirit of giving. But if you have a pure motivation of studying Dharma and practicing that could be the rare case. 

But if you just want to practice for yourself, if the purpose is for yourself, unfortunately it cannot be called transmission. That is based on, not so different from using the Dharma as a tool for your comfort.”
