Dharma Discussions and Insights

Have questions about Buddhist teachings or meditation? Our Dharma Advisor and community are here to offer thoughtful answers and guidance to support your journey.

Question: The Dharma encourages boundless compassion, but how do we show compassion to those who harm us?

Answer: Compassion does not mean tolerating harm. It means understanding that even difficult people act from ignorance or suffering, while still setting healthy boundaries...

Question: The Dharma teaches selflessness, but doesn’t personal ambition drive success?

Answer: Selflessness does not mean abandoning all personal goals. It means pursuing success in a way that benefits others, rather than being driven solely by ego and selfish desire...
