True Understanding

Understanding the Buddha Dharma is not merely the ability to explain the text. In fact, fixating on the text might even distance you from the Dharma.

So, what does it mean to know the Dharma? It is to thoroughly know yourself— knowing clearly how you act and think and discerning your positive and negative thoughts. This means that when you genuinely understand the Dharma, a definite and noticeable change will occur in your mind, personality and behaviour.
