Let’s think about how we can practice authentic dharma. Is it difficult? If we want to practice the real thing, we must abandon mundane samsaric activities completely. We should stay in a secluded mountain, not think about anything related to the eight worldly concerns. If the worldly things decline, we should feel happy. This is how we can practice authentic dharma. But the fact is we are not able to practice like this. However, we should realise that this is how those great masters in the past practised. We should come to understand how to practice authentic dharma.
