Zen precept #2: I take refuge in the Dharma
When I take refuge in the dharma, I begin to understand a central buddhist concept: the teaching of interdependence, which says we are all connected with no separation between us despite our physical appearances and other differences. We create this world together and all suffer. There is no escaping this truth.
Twenty years ago, I heard the phrase "heal the separation" during A Course in Miracles lecture and had no idea what was meant. Now, with a lot more life experience, I have a deeper understanding of this precept. Joe
