Are we practicing Buddhism to transform ourselves, or simply using its teachings to prove that we are right?

In this thought-provoking Dharma lecture, we explore the danger of turning Buddhist teachings into rigid beliefs, moral slogans, and ideological arguments. Drawing upon the Lotus Sutra, the teachings of Tendai Daishi's Maka Shikan (Great Calming and Contemplation), and the practice of the Odaimoku, we examine how the Buddhist precepts are not merely rules to follow but spiritual disciplines that cultivate wisdom, compassion, and inner transformation. True peace cannot be achieved through laws, religious declarations, or moral principles alone; it must begin with the transformation of the human mind. Discover why Buddhism is not simply something we believe or defend, but something we must experience, practice, and embody in everyday life.
