The Way of the Bodhisattva 66 | Why Rejecting Other Sutras Is Abandoning the Dharma

Have you ever unknowingly slandered the Dharma? In this lecture, Khenpo Sodargye unpacks three faults every practitioner must avoid: speaking ill of any Buddhist tradition, teaching the wrong Dharma to the wrong person, and using scriptures to mislead rather than guide.

What this session covers

① Why praising one sutra while dismissing others is already an act of abandoning the Dharma ② How even Shariputra made mistakes in teaching — and what that means for us ③ Why high view without pure conduct is empty talk ④ Vinaya stories on table manners, physical deportment, and respecting shared spaces ⑤ Why being alone with the opposite sex can bring unintended harm — even for an arhat ⑥ The Chan story of Deshan and the lamp: enlightenment through a single gesture
