In Zen, dharma represents the truth that practitioners seek to realize and embody directly through meditation and mindfulness, rather than merely through intellectual understanding. The practice of Zen is essentially about embodying the dharma—living in accordance with the way things truly are—which means recognizing impermanence, interdependence, and the nature of suffering. Through zazen and daily practice, we as Zen students aim to awaken to this dharma, experiencing it as our own lived reality rather than as abstract doctrine.
