ABOUT THE ART

Buddhadharma

Our Traditions Can—and Must—Change

ASK THE TEACHERS • Buddhism is framed in such negative terms: mind-states to avoid, actions not to undertake, how not to be. Even enlightenment is the absence of delusion. I’d like to focus on what Buddhism is for, not just what it’s negating. How can I frame my practice in more positive terms?

Welcome to the Charnel Ground

It Comes Down to Character • Let an observant person come—one who is not fraudulent, not deceitful, one of an honest nature. I instruct him. I teach him the Dhamma. Practicing as instructed, he in no long time knows for himself, sees for himself: “So this is how there is the right liberation from bondage, that is, the bondage of ignorance.”
