The Quality of the Dhamma and Religion
Religion concerns only those who believe in it but Dhamma, taught by the Buddha, concerns the entire universe because everything is working in its nature of cause and effect in the flux of the phenomena arising and passing away. It is very simple.
The scholars want to make a simple thing complicated because they want the other to see that they are more intelligent, smarter and more important than everyone else except them.
However, the wise developed by practical experiences in most of their life situations make everything easier, clearer and more precise to see and to understand so that they can make people convince as clearly as they do.
The Buddha and His disciples are truly wise persons of the entire world, the simplest and the most sincere human beings among all of us because they are morally straight and spiritually the most sincere.
Without practicing “Mindfulness-Based Vipassanā” meditation good enough, it is very dangerous to protect Dhamma in its pristine purity. And also, you will be very difficult to see real Buddha and real Dhamma without practicing it well and skillful enough.
Actually the Dhamma is wholeheartedly and respectfully followed by the science nowadays. Quite many scientists are tracing back the Path of Dhamma taught by the Buddha. However, “Religion without science is blind but science without religion is lame”, said Elbert Einstein.
