The Importance of Receiving Teachings from a Living Lineage
Since time without beginning, daily life has contained overwhelming pressures, deadlines, and responsibilities. It can be a challenge to navigate relationships, careers, families, and expectations in an intentional and balanced way. Often, we seek answers and support from a variety of sources but come up wanting. In authentic Buddhist tradition, the Dhamma (Pali) or Dharma (Sanskrit) teachings are given directly from teacher to student. It is of utmost importance to learn Buddhadhamma from an authentic source. Hearing the teachings in this way offers clear guidance, uncompromised by modern ideals or societal trends, which offers a time-tested model for easing the suffering we encounter on a daily basis.
