🔹 Opening Reflection: What is Dharma?

• Dharma teaches eternal wisdom and acts as a practical guide for life.
• Dharma is true in all time, space, for every life form and situation.
• Dharma cannot be pulled apart or made “more complete.” It is already complete from every angle.
• If you only analyse Dharma trying to “make it perfect,” you miss the point—it’s already perfect.

🔹 Example: Human Wisdom vs. Dharma

• Einstein quote: “The purpose of life is to help others”
• But:
  • What is life?
  • What kind of help?
  • Who are “others”? Some people are doing harm—should we help them too?
• Human wisdom is not complete—when you look closely, you can always add or subtract to it.
• Dharma, by contrast, cannot be broken down or debated in the same way. It always remains whole.

🔹 On Human Teachers

• Every teacher has limitations (unless Buddha-level).
• “Convenient wisdom” = wisdom adjusted to human awareness or capability.
• More convenient = when wisdom is matched to someone’s individual motivation and situation.

🔹 Exercises

1. What is life?

• Explore the definition in context of Dharma.

2. When you hear something:

• Observe it deeply.
• Try to break its logic.
• See if it can be made more complete.

🔹 Closing Appreciation

• Say thanks to those who brought Dharma into your life.
