#YouTube-Extract  So how would I explain _the Dharma is not the Dharma for itself_? And I tried to look for this phrase here. I tried to see the quote—where it came from. Can you locate this quote and see which Sutra it came from? Which—where—where—what's the origin of this? I'm curious. Okay. Please look it up for me. Thank you. So, how would I explain _the Dharma is not the Dharma for itself_? It's very simple. Okay. People talk too much in my—in my mind. Okay. Buddha—these concepts are important. I don't want you to go through listening to a lot—and then you burden yourself with a lot of different things that are not—that you can't remember in the first place. And—and they would somehow contradict, or it seems illogical to you. Here's what the idea behind... to me... why the Buddhadharma is not the Buddhadharma for itself. It's very simple. The Buddhadharma is a dharma that was taught by the Buddha. And the Buddha taught it because he saw the needs of us—our needs. So the Buddhadharma does not exist by itself. That's why... the very... that's why you cannot say the Buddhadharma is the Buddhadharma for itself; it's not for itself. It's for the purpose of helping us. What do you think? The Buddha—the Buddhadharma does not exist by itself, meaning that if we weren't around, there would be no need for the Buddhadharma. If you are enlightened already, if you are perfect already... then you don't need the Buddhadharma. So this is—this section—this phrase here—it says—_The Buddhadharma is just worldly dharma. Worldly dharma is just the Buddhadharma_. It's correct. Okay. All right? If you have wisdom, you will see that the Buddhadharma is not separate from worldly dharmas. And if you really have high... even higher level of wisdom, you'll see the worldly dharmas are basically the Buddhadharma.
