Who’s the Dharma for?

For whom is the actual teaching of the Enlightened Ones?

It is for those who are ready to see things as they are. For those who are tired of keeping up with what the masses praise. For those who have realized that the system is insane and got lost in its neurosis. It is for those who yearn to be authentic.

The Dharma of the Buddhas is a hard blow that awakens people from the massive spell in which humanity finds itself. It is a slap in the face for those who say they believe in God but haven’t verified its existence. It is a bucket of cold water for the skeptics who think they’re free of beliefs, but in reality, they are just a bunch of religious sheep devoted to selfishness.

The Dharma of the Buddhas is a supernatural antiseptic that disinfects the soul, heart, and every cell of your body.

It is a spiritual practice that forces the inactive to move and the restless to calm down. It is a wake-up call to those who have neglected themselves for centuries.

The Dharma of the Buddhas is for the meditator who is not afraid of identity death when practicing seated meditation. It is for those who have already taken it for granted that they will lose everything, especially those who believe everything is forever.

It is a lesson for the beast that has already admitted its lack of control in the face of temptation to rage ignorantly.

This teaching is for those who are already bored with restlessness. For suicidal persons who are already aware of their tantrums. For the lucky addict who had a moment of clarity.

The Dharma is not for those who seek entertainment nor for those who remain mesmerized with Eastern spirituality. The Dharma of the Buddhas does not seek to please, fill awkward silences, nor seduce believers of other traditions. It only reveals the truth because Dharma is the truth.

And the first thing it reveals is this: a human who dies without awakening is a waste of sacredness.

May you know the Dharma of the Buddhas and realize it in this lifetime.
