“All of the teachings of the Buddha are meant to be put into action, into practice; otherwise, the dharma becomes a useless philosophy. When we can put our view and meditation into action, the dharma becomes a living teaching. It becomes useful, meaningful, and it will bear fruit in the world. It will bring a result to our community and to ourselves. Otherwise, the teachings will not really benefit anyone.”
– Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
