Today I got speaking with a man. We got into a deep topic of kharma and dharma. Without getting to far off topic relevant to the posting here, can I please ask a question I hope is simple to answer.
Is there a definition for, Dharma?
Context, we are now required to find our true Dharma.
I understand Buddhism as the path to awakening, realizing the truth of life. The most unique aspects of Buddhism are the view of emptiness and bodhicitta, which can resolve afflictions, eliminate suffering, and achieve the ultimate meaning of life.💛🪔
Broadly speaking, the definition of dharma refers to anything that possesses intrinsic nature (in the conventional sense), encompassing all that exists. Based on your context, the Dharma is divided into three aspects: basis, path, and fruition. The basis consists of the objects of objects that practitioners must understand, including the two truths. The path comprises the practices that practitioners undertake, such as the thirty-seven factors conducive to enlightenment and the Mahayana-specific practices like the seven cause-and-effect instructions and the ten perfections. The fruition is the ultimate goal that practitioners seek to attain, including liberation and the wisdom of Buddhahood.
do you have these points written of? I did somewhat expect to see an answer like this. One that broadens as it deepens, much in the way the path becomes. I ask, as a genuine curios fellow. One who observes from my eyes, but with essence witnessing.
Yes wisdom isn't meant to stay on the page. It’s meant to be lived, embodied, and practiced with intention.
Whether in personal growth or in my work especially in B2B healthI believe mastery begins when we stop merely learning and start living what we know. A worthy goal for this lifetime indeed.
The phrase “a three-year-old calf fears no tiger” is not a compliment. It reflects ignorance, like a frog at the bottom of a well, overconfident due to limited experience
There’s something deeply humbling about this, how it reminds us that true realization doesn’t always seek recognition. It’s not found in clever words or titles, but in the quiet strength of someone who walks the path sincerely. The contrast between debate as a measure of clarity and the silent wisdom of those who simply embody the teachings struck a chord. It made me reflect on how rare it is to find those who hold depth without needing to display it. Thank you for offering such a rich, layered reflection. It meets both the mind and the heart.

would it be suffice to say then, poetically, that I then see my body as the suitcase I live out of?

Practice yields true knowledge and deepens understanding.
