Watch Yourself

Maybe many people think that if you are able to memorise and explain a lot of Dharma terminology and the root verses of the treaties, then you understand the dharma. That is not in fact true.

How can one come to understand the Dharma? As I always say, do not look at the texts, look at yourself. Look at your ways of thinking and reflect on your way of talking and conducting yourself, to see whether your words and conduct are consistent with the Dharma.

By doing so, you can understand the Dharma and become a good Dharma practitioner.
