A Feast of Dharma | February 18, 2015
All
the teachings, all the words, all the sutras, are skillful means for
liberating the mind, rather than statements of absolute truth. When we
take words to be statements of ultimate truth, then differences of
opinion will inevitably result in conflict. This is where ideological
wars come from, and we see in the history of the world an endless amount
of suffering because of it. But if we see the words and the teachings
as different skillful means for liberating the mind, then they all
become part of a great dharma feast.
- Joseph Goldstein, "One Dharma"
