Without understanding what is real Dharma, people often mix real Dharma with worldly dharmas

As I said earlier we need to understand what is real Dharma and what is not Dharma. Dharma is something beyond worldly dharmas. Worldly dharmas is not the real Dharma. Therefore, as we are Dharma practitioners, we should have a deeper understanding, because without a deep understanding [of Dharma] there is a danger. Without understanding what is real Dharma, people often mix real Dharma with worldly dharmas. And people try to accomplish something which is worldly dharmas while they are thinking they are doing something for the real Dharma. So, it’s a big obstacle everywhere, not only in this country but across the world, including Tibet. Tibetan lamas mix Dharma things with non-Dharma stuffs. So sometimes it is difficult to do genuine, or very pure, Dharma things because our motivation grows with non-Dharma things, with the worldly dharma stuffs. Therefore, it is difficult for us to keep the pure Dharma in the mind. So, we still need to try to understand and try to do things in correct ways.
