In the interests of sharing Guru’s message and teachings, we have selected a few short extracts and quotes from various speeches given by Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru. We hope you will enjoy these and may it help to bring happiness, joy and liberation to all beings:
“True love and compassion is Dharma”
(http://bsds.org/en/teachings/55/speech-at-night)
“There is only one way to save the world and that is through Dharma (spiritual practice.)”
“The knowledge of Dharma will provide guidance for non-violence, charity and compassion and to liberate the sentient beings”
“Likewise, in the world it is difficult to live by the Dharma and take up the path for the good of humankind”
“This Great Vehicle, the Maitri Dharma, is not only for me, it is for the liberation of all helpless beings”
“The first dharma is the Srawan Dharma (Universal Dharma). The other dharma (life purpose) is the vow of the Bodhisattva to lead all helpless sentient beings to liberation. The Maitriya Buddha is manifested in hundreds of Ginphen Buddha. All sentient beings who are aware of the presence of Maitri become the Hundred Ginphen Semkoi. These come together to form of the Maitri Dharma, the Great Vehicle of Vehicles”
“I have taken refuge in the greatest vehicle of vehicles which is the Maitri Dharma”
“In the world there are only three kinds of formless dharmas: First is the dharma form that causes bad influences; The second shows the form of upside-down, reverse dharma; Third is the appearance of true form of Dharma”
“The third true Dharma in order to benefit sentient beings of the world adheres to the path of virtue and having an inner sense of wellbeing. This form of true dharma is the form that leads from suffering and ignorance to wisdom through loving kindness”
“Modern people believe that Dharma is a principle and institution, and though they have reached the meaning of Dharma closely, they are in fact far from real Dharma”
“Finally, let’s make this world a Dharma world”
(October 8, 2010)
“And, if in the name of religion spiritual opulence (riddhi) is shown, miracles are demonstrated, it is contrary to the rules of Dharma”
“The rule of Dharma is to free those beings from the suffering of Sansara who are not able to do so; to show them the path of liberation is the rule of Dharma”
“Wherever there is the eternal existence of all human life; there, life’s perfection is Dharma”
“In Dharma the important part is where and how to receive Dharma, we can receive Dharma everywhere but there must be great personal efforts”
“At the beginning you will find difficulties because you don’t understand the Dharma, but in time you will be certain about the benefits of your practice”
“The purification process of accepting Dharma may differ according to the capacity of your application”
“When you come to follow the real Dharma you will never discuss about the conflicts of different religions”
“When all of your problems are put to the Dharma, surely you will get the opportunity for a solution”
“This Dharma is a combination of doctrines of all religions”
“Even though you follow different religions they will act as a vehicle for coming to the real Dharma, it looks different but it is the same”
“Most important is faith. Among any proposals I propose for Dharmic transformation”
“Discussing more and using lots of words is only for the material, physical world. It isn’t necessary in Dharma”
“After ages, the preaching of the True Dhamma is not even heard”
“Only the highest standards will fulfill the Dharma”
“Guru is delivering the Dharma Letter certified by himself”
“In order to establish the Law of the Dharma in the world, it is important to be completely faithful and dedicated to the Guru and equally so to the Sanghas as well”
“All Lokas (realms/worlds/universes) are in that Dharma Tattva (Essence)”
“Dharma is not something to be understood but the truth to be realised”
“Dharma is only that which provides the sentient beings the path of freedom and liberation without discrimination according to karma (causes and conditions)”
“Being in the Rule of the Dharma, one has to take up the Guru Marga”
“Dharma is infinite”
