The dharma is the teaching, the understanding, the contents of enlightened mind. It is the experience of the joy of Intelligence knowing itself.
---The Daily Recollection.

This year we deepen our practice of the “dharma” using the The Dhammapada as our reference. The Dhammapada is a collection of verses supposedly gathered by the direct disciples of the Buddha in an attempt to preserve the words of their teacher. Walking the way of Dharma returns us again and again to here, now, to this moment, to the quiet stillness of the space between the thoughts, the Silence that is the “understanding” of the Dharma bead, the understanding that Awareness aware of itself is the Dharma, the joy of Intelligence knowing itself.
