It’s possible we have too many dharma resources. There are thousands of dharma books, and a river of good and not-so-good dharma information on the internet. This makes it easy to confuse intellectual understanding with direct experience and realization of the dharma. So we just wish to say, “Be intentional. This river of intellectual information does not necessarily create progress.” If you are seeking reliable, high-quality dharma practice and study resources, Dekeling volunteers are curating resources, and are creating some to add to Creative Commons. You can find them here.
